snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 6z NAM has a speck of 1.75" QPF over my head by 21z Wed. We're going to need all we can get to compensate for the temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Guess i should clarify on this for you guys. By 12z wed Chicago is at around .75 and by Friday at 1 inch or so. Don't have text details. Keeps snowing after that as well as that 1 inch+ expands down towards the IN line and then into Lake county. Thanks. So 0.75 for the main event agrees pretty closely with the op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 32 and gusty. Any warmer and we'd be melting everything right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 6z NAM still with that warm layer aloft for YYZ but it's not as intense as the 0z run. Basically tops out at about +0.8c. Similar to the GFS. ~1.70" QPF GFS, ~2.10" NAM. Geez, if this finds a way to stay mostly accumulating snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Nice to wake up and see the Euro hold its ground. With that said I'm going with 7.6" for MKE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 37 and torching. I'm going to bust. Seriously though...it looks bad from I88 south...especially further east. Radar trends are wagons west as well and have the look of a couple mixy/rainy hours and a brief non accumulating snow blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 radar trends look good for MKE and just north of there....but not 16. 6-8 looking good. wisconsinwx leaving the board will make this fail worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Lol 16" over MKE. It must have a default 20:1 ratio. Very useful in situations like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 31°F at DTW, 29°F at DET and IMBY. DTX went with an Advisory south of I-69, with a Warning north and east of there. 3-6" in the advisory and 5-8" in the warning areas. They say sleet, not rain, will cut into the accumulations.This is going to be a real nail-biter here. These are the type of storms where accumulations could vary a huge amount in a short distance depending on who stays at 32 and who goes up to 33 or 34 from time to time.

stormtrackertf Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've seen weenie runs before, but this one takes the cake. Ottawa Blizzard better have his defibrillator charged and ready to go. I believe that one just because it has a 12-14" lollipop over the famed Mt. Oakland.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 31 now. That's a bit warmer that I thought we'd be at this point but cloud cover hung tight overnight. 6z NAM spits out the same temp valid 11z and this is the same model that's trying to paint in Toronto's worst snowstorm ever so I'm not too concerned.

DLMKA Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Snowing heavy with strong winds in East Peoria, IL. Road in front of my house is already covered in the first 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Reports of very heavy snow on television from Macomb within 30 to 45min after starting, snow also being reported in Burlington/Mt. Pleasant. Viewer reported some sleet mixing in at Roseville, which I believe is just East of Macomb. Dry slot doesn't look good for areas over by Alek and perhaps Northern Indiana....that will need to be watched. With this trending West it may be more of a rain set up over Chicago metro proper and points East and Southeast but will have to see what dynamic cooling may be able to do. Problem with the dynamic cooling is this thing appears as if it won't loose its strength as fast and dynamic cooling will just offset some of the low level warm advection. I really like the areas from Sterling down to Kirksville in this area to possibly get into the 7-10" range if we get a little wet bulbing action and the heavy rates I'm expecting. Metro quad cities may be able to tickle 6-8" when its all done with. Again...now we just start nowcasting this baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It must have a default 20:1 ratio. Very useful in situations like these. Its actually 10:1 which makes these amounts even crazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Amazing to watch the progression of the sfc low coil *NW* around the upper low. Probably safe to say that the occlusion process has begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm in Macomb right now. It is ripping snow and wind. Not going to be happy if we have school at WIU. NWS has me at 7 inches for today and it looks like this snow will be over in about 2 hours tops. (1 inch now) Will there be more development in that dry slot or does this look to be it.

I don't think that dryslot will fill...on the plus side, you have 2-4 more hours of 1-2" per hour rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
