Justin Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'd say with melting, compaction, and actual accumulation on the ground we've had about 1.3" or pretty close to that figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Get to the higher elevations away from Lk Ontario and RAP has quite the little thump tomorrow. Probably overdone but it does seem to be handling the placement of that defo snow in IL/WI reasonably well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 This winter has been cutter crazy.... Good winter for western Wisconsin and the UP. Well then, get UP there get making tracks dude!

wisconsinwx Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hopefully we see it change to snow soon, because the intensity of the radar currently is like nothing I've probably ever witnessed during a period of snow. Would be fun to see what it was like if it was snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably overdone but it does seem to be handling the placement of that defo snow in IL/WI reasonably well. It's going to be a very close call between all rain or a wet snow/rain mix changing into a thump of heavy snow. The 12z Euro snowfall map from Wunderground gives us over an inch of snow tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 My new favorite product on our COD weather site. This is under analysis then RAP analysis. You get 500mb RAP analysis with WV as well. Awesome to see where the individual waves are and the loop is even cooler. rapwvvor_20130218_23.gif nice. That whole analysis page is top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Been snowing for about 2 hours now, it changed over all at once from rain to snow around 7 pm. Sticking to everything since all surfaces were wet beforehand. Still at 34 F so accumulations are weak, might be half an inch. Spring like event lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 30s filtering in now. Hoping to see a quick inch. Wis.Wx it looks like the change over is imminent for you! Deformation zone of heavier precip already on its way out, looks like a half hour left of heavy precip. Still rain, though the temp is dropping rapidly here as well.

cyclone77 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'd say with melting, compaction, and actual accumulation on the ground we've had about 1.3" or pretty close to that figure. Yeah the 1.1" here is extremely dense. Definitely won't be going away anytime soon. Was pretty wicked out there for a time. Power keeps going on and off here. Heard there's lots of outages around as well. All this snow caked to everything, and now with the high winds it's getting pretty awful out there.

cyclone77 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 All in all a pretty impressive little storm system here. Nice to have an overachiever for once. Probably ended up being more fun than what's coming for Thu. Little recap....HIt 56 early afternoon (MLI hit 57). Picked up 0.38" of rain as the temps dropped off. Quickly changed to heavy wet snow that clung to everything. Only picked up 1.1" but it has a high quality feel to it due to the very dense 6:1 type snow it was. Trees/power lines are still caked with a lot of snow despite the high winds. Temps plunged well below freezing before the highest winds hit, and the wet nature of the snow has allowed it to freeze to everything. The unfortunate aspect of that has been an annoying power outage situation here on and off the last few hours. Worth it though I guess. Temp has plunged all the way back to 22 now. Almost a 35 degree drop since noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
