magoos0728 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Solid 7 in Kenosha. Wet, nasty stuff though--my father works in Schaumburg--per my mother he is just now in Gurnee. Got off 94 Northbound because its a parking lot. At least an hour out...in 20 years of commuting from Schaumburg to Kenosha--said this is the worst he's ever seen. People just not prepared for it...

Snowstorms Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Canuck, seems like YYZ is sitting at 3.1C whereas vaughan station is sitting at 3.4C though the dewpoints are quite below 0C, so with that plus the snow cover how long do you think it will take for the switch over? I'm assuming 1-2 hours, a bit longer for DT Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Dual pol suggests it may be flipping over to snow in the NW corner of Tippecanoe County. Actual reports of it doing so, just to the north of there. Down a degree to 34/33 at LAF with -RN. Feel even more like a whining douche bag in my last post when you are way more deserving of snow than me and are in a cold rain most of the day. Really hope the mood periods can hit you with accumulation and then there is one to watch for you guys next week.. Gonna crack my first beer since the Pack got crushed in the playoffs.. Should hit me hard and lighten my ****ty attitude up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I bet! Nice fat flakes falling. 'nother wave coming in. This is at WI-165. could be a lot worse looking (and probably was earlier) if it was colder... salt and traffic works wonders with temps around or above freezing.

on_wx Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Temp dropped from 1.3c to 1c in the last 15 minutes and light snow is picking up in size and intensity, but nothing accumulating yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Temperature has actually risen to 2.0 celcius at my place. All it's going to take to sink this storm is the models being too cold by 0.3-0.5 degrees. So far, that's the case. But we're not really going to know bust or not until probably 9-10pm.

harrisale Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 You're going to get absolutely murdered there. Please take lots of pics. It's definitely going to start as RA or RAPL/SN here. Question is how long does it take to change over. Already near SN coming down. Great considering it just started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetjanet998 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 REA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL 530 PM CST TUE FEB 26 2013 DISCUSSION 525 PM CST UPGRADED HEADLINE FOR FAR NORTHERN CHICAGO AREA TO A WINTER STORM WARNING DUE TO CONTINUED ENHANCED SNOWFALL RATES AT TIMES WITHIN THE SHOWERY ACTIVITY MAKING FOR FURTHER DANGEROUS TRAVEL. CALLS TO DISPATCH AND POLICE IN THAT AREA HAVE SHOWN SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS AND A WARNING IS NEEDED...EVEN IF THE WIDESPREAD HEAVY RATES HAVE BECOME MORE SPORADIC. STILL...THE SPORADIC RATES ARE HEAVY WITH QUARTER MILE OR LESS VISIBILITIES BEING REPORTED...INDICATING AT LEAST ONE INCH PER HOUR RATES. THE STRETCHED OUT DEFORMATION AREA OF THIS SYSTEM ACTUALLY APPEARS TO BE NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF THE AREA BUT MORE WARM AIR ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC ASCENT CONTINUES TO DRIVE DEVELOPING SNOW SHOWERS WITHIN A LIGHT SNOW/DRIZZLE REGIME. THE NAM-WRF AND RAP INDICATES THIS WEAKENS BY 03Z AS THE SYSTEM CENTER MOVES FURTHER EAST. STILL...SNOW THROUGH THAT TIME AND EVEN LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS AFTER /WHICH COULD HAVE SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT/ WILL LEAD TO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS ON TOP OF ALREADY QUITE A BIT OF SNOW. OPEN AREAS HAVE REPORTED SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH LOW VISIBILITY AS WELL...SO FURTHER CREDENCE THAT A WARNING EXTENDED FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT IS NEEDED TO ENHANCE THE MESSAGE OF DANGEROUS TRAVEL. AS THIS LATE WINTER/EARLY SPRING-LIKE SYSTEM HAS SHOWN FROM WHEN IT FIRST CAME INTO THE MODEL SOLUTIONS...IT WAS GOING TO A BEAR AND HAS CONTINUED INTO THE HEART OF THE PRECIP. IMPRESSIVE DYNAMICS HAD AND STILL CONTINUE TO YIELD TO PROLONGED VERY HEAVY RATES...EVEN DURING A LATE FEBRUARY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WITH MARGINAL BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES. ITS A GOOD REMINDER THAT WHEN ROBUST DYNAMICS ARE ABLE TO REALIZED...THEY CAN EASILY WIN OUT OVER OTHER SEEMINGLY SMALL HINDRANCES. BUT OF COURSE THESE DYNAMICS ARE ALWAYS CHALLENGING TO PLACE IN ADVANCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yeah if you look closely you can see both the WAA snows coming WNW and the lake enhanced snow near the lakeshore counties kind of just sitting there. Gotta give it to the 4km NAM that showed this for the last two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Jog my memory, folks. Was it last night's NAM or Skilling's model or RAP that showed the enhanced amounts along the north shore up to Milwaukee? I remember that some of us were joshing that possibility.
