Ajdos Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 So close but so far....anyways I dont think the amnts verified in many locations. ..Looks like Port Huron will get some decent accums, but the band is literally east of the river..

A-L-E-K Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Gary getting destroyed! Band is hyper transient though, they will only spend ~30 minutes under decent returns. Band wilil be entering the far SE side of Chicago soon and i'm expecting a glancing blow here in a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 BTW: not does it really matter compared to other areas. Did manage to squeeze out just under 1" overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 you managed to beat ORD's event high this year So what are the chances of the band holding to hit Chi-town with 2-3"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 So what are the chances of the band holding to hit Chi-town with 2-3"? slim...pretty sure even Gary will only see 1-2...a solid 1" is probably the ceiling. no stalling with this band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 looks like a brief period of +SN isn't out of the quesitons...should easily be the heaviest snow of the season. Still looks far too transient for much above an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Heading south to northern Indiana for a quick visit and passing thru kalkaska....a little surprised by the difference in depth here. Only 8-10" of new snow fell. Low considering the snow capital they are usually.areas closer to the lake definitely did better this event. Looks like a snowy trip all the to the Indiana line. Temp has gone as low as -12 in the valleys by mancelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Someone else from the Met Department measured between 2.25" and 3.125," so we're calling it 2.5" here. No snow board though. I guess we can't find money in the budget for one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Passing thru Grand Rapids. Far north side barely an inch on the ground, far south side has upwards of 6". Martin and Allegan areas have 8-10" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Passing thru Grand Rapids. Far north side barely an inch on the ground, far south side has upwards of 6". I noticed that. The sharp cutoff goes pretty much right through the city. Living on the NE side of town it's so frustrating seeing places just 15-20 miles SW always getting double or triple the totals I see. Always happens with NW flow events. The shape of the lake is such that it creates a screw-zone for the inland county areas north of US 96 and south of RT 10. It was weird yesterday evening when the bands briefly pushed north ushering in an hour or so of moderate snow. The temperature spiked up to near 20 degrees and it felt almost balmy in comparison. Then it went back south and it immediately dropped back into the lower teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I noticed that. The sharp cutoff goes pretty much right through the city. Just edited my post above. Stopped in Martin and there's between 8-10" here. Must have been pretty nasty last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Nice mesolow forming east of Highland Park right now. Snow should be into Waukegan before 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roardog Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Snowed real hard here early this morning with that mesolow but it didn't last real long so we only managed to get about 2.5-3inches. That's still better than nothing I guess. That snow sure is sparkly with the sunny skies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
