Chicago WX Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Back to even at LAF for January...well, technically -0.2º. Of course, back into positive departures after this coming Mon, Tue, and Wed are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 1F this morning... Looks like its warming up quickly...up to 13F ... Those lake effect clouds are so cool. The ones off L Superior are very impressive. That big bath tub absorbed a lot of heat this summer, so has plenty to give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Gonna be a wild ride over the next few days...probably will see everything here except snow. We were going to lose our snow cover so might as well have some action to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Dipped down to 7. Warmed up nicely today though under full sun. 28 currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Some pretty cool horizontal looking bands on the snow cover over north-central IL. Don't think anything has changed much from yesterday, so this should be what it would have looked like yesterday had there not been any cloudiness. Not sure exactly what caused this. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/839/jan26.jpg/'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Spent the day riding trails around the coast. so much soft powder, it was great. after 5-6" between 11pm-5am overnight, snow depth here stands around 17-19" still. A beautiful Winter day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 What's going on in Waukegan right now? They have been running way warmer than anyone else in the area. Lol, sensor if off for sure. Only hit 27° here! Was down by the lake today and I can confirm there's some ice floating around out there. Not right by the shore, but within 1/2 mile there is. Lots of ice piled up along the shoreline in dune like features. You can see the sediment clearly kicked up in that sat image Cyclone posted.

dmc76 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 We have been mostly storm free since winter 2010-2011. IDK but the DEC 26/27th at least on this side of town. 6-10" fell and 15" around Port Huron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 LES potential for our snowbelt peeps looks excellent following the storm. This run of the GFS was MUCH better regardless. And yeah i know the chances of that back end snow it shows is next to nil. Still nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Entire month without a snow storm threat within 72 hours. Sad doesn't begin to describe it. I personally see this as a continuation of the drought we've been experiencing for the past year or two. We hardly had any rain in the summer, and now hardly any snow.

Hoosier Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 00z GFS/GGEM flip us over to snow on Wednesday before the precip ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If we really get the 2+ inches qpf being shown on the models, no doubt there will be significant river rises and probably some flooding. The timing of the late week cold blast could roughly coincide with crest so we could be heading for one of those scenarios where the flood waters get icy.

IWXwx Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Nothing like an ice jamb to backup the flow and create a serious flooding situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hopefully the models back west a little with the higher QPF over some of the fringe drought areas in IL/IA. Drought conditions over the OH valley are much improved but the western sub-forum is getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 0.00000000000001% chance it verifies. Well, the NAM isn't completely on it's own. But yeah, 3-4" ain't happening. Some flakes, sure...I'll give that a decent chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 GFS has the band of heavier accums from Chicago into northern-lower Michigan. NAM has a nearly perfect strike for LAF that continues north-northeast into much of Michigan, favoring the eastern half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too soon for me to bust out the DAB+? Realistically though if the system were to attempt to take on the negative tilt as it slid up the EC then someone could end up with a surprise switch from heavy rain to heavy snow. However pinpointing that down at this junction is like spinning in a circle while blindfolded then throwing a dart expecting a bullseye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
