Chicago WX Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You'd think Tim would have a spreadsheet with this data for every GLOV station going back to 1880 BTW...Chicago, officially, twice. Nov 25-26, 1895: 12.0" Feb 3-4, 1896: 12.5" Feb 12-13, 1896: 12.0" Dec 17-19, 1929: 14.8" Mar 25-26, 1930: 19.2" (was the largest on record, officially, until Jan 1967) The close ones... Dec 27, 1894: 10.1" Feb 6-7, 1895: 13.4" December 22-23, 1969: 11.3" March 25-26, 1970: 14.3" April 1-2, 1970: 10.7" Jan 25-27, 1978: 12.4" Feb 6-7, 1978: 10.3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Pretty good. Me? No. At least not since I've been following weather. I suppose it may have happened in the late 70's or early 80's winters...but I wasn't quite the weather geek when I was ages 4-8. Closest for LAF, since I've been here, would be the calendar year of 2007. 17.0" with Feb 13-14 and 10.5" with Dec 15-16. Same here re: my youth. Ages 0-11 (1986-1997), while I had an interest in weather, I wasn't the snow nut I am now. Actually, talking with my parents, I was apparently obsessed with tornadoes and lightning when I was a toddler. Winter wx did little for me. Quite the flip.

If so, factor that in with Jan 1999 and that's a nice little sub-12 month run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Snow is sticking out here in northeast Scarborough. Roads very slick. Roads just wet here. Managed to slop 0.2" on the board. Some convective cells moving towards us from the Waterloo-Hamilton corridor. Interesting to see if it's RA or SN when it gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocks Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 After getting near 60 today, we have a special weather statement for tomorrow. Looking at 1-2 inches of snow, but it'll all melt as soon it stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Nice little area of snow dropping towards NE IL this evening. Down to 27° here. We had and are still having some nice snow showers, should get around a half inch. These little surprise pockets of snow are always nice, it was a serene high end light snow with not a ton of wind but just enough that some it was flying sideways.

Chicago WX Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Band pushing through has a convective feel to it. Sky is dark-ish, winds have kicked up a bit, but snow isn't as heavy here as it was earlier. Best may have moved just to the southwest of here...

Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just checked the snow depth and it's down slightly from 5" to a bit above 4". I'm sure it's got a really high water content after all that rain we had last weekend. 26 degrees and sunny. Pretty warm considering how cold the air is aloft right now. Temp should fall off really fast tonight as the sun goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
