Thundersnow12 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The DGZ was progged to be like 400 mb deep in northern IL today so maybe the high ratios are legit. Plus I don't know what they would've meant to type in place of 120...say they accidentally added a 1 to the 120...that would make it 20:1 which is not all that incredible. fcst sounding I just pulled off the for around DVN earlier today showing the deep DGZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Just had probably the heaviest snow seen this month in the last 20 minutes besides perhaps January 5th. Roads completely covered. This is what you call a DAB+ event. Better than a dusting, but not really a solid measurable snow either. Very narrow banding, and my neighborhood was in the right spot for the rail thin band.

There's some 30dbz pockets in those bands. A few strong ones headed straight towards the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto4 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Interesting observation. And I don't think they've got much snow up that way. Maybe radational cooling wasn't a factor. I'm guessing that the clear skies allowed the temperatures to drop an extra degree or two at all stations in the GTA. There was only a couple of degrees spread between downtown Toronto and Pearson/Buttonville airports. I think the extra snowcover along with the clear skies helped lower temperatures a tad more downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Today marks the 20th day of the 2012-13 season where DTW had a 7am snow depth of 1"+. We are close to the halfway point of the snow season. This ties 2011-12s TOTAL of just 20 days. Current normal for a winter is 47 days, longterm normal is 49 days. We saw 80 days in 2010-11.

cyclone77 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Last little band of scattered precip rotating south towards us might give us our first flakes of the day. Narrow little snow squall passed through. Only lasted 5-10 minutes but was enough to whiten the ground a bit. Picked up 0.2". Hard to believe ORD had such low totals with snow falling off and on all day, and this little thing gave me this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up 0.2". Hard to believe ORD had such low totals with snow falling off and on all day, and this little thing gave me this much. Even though temps were in the low 20's the snow was melting on many surfaces...and blowing off of others. The grass is the only thing it was efficiently accumulating on. The decent burst of -SN this afternoon at ORD was much shorter than here, so the 0.1" is believable compared to the 0.3" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
