frostfern Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Now a mist here I call that stuff "snizzle". Really fine stuff that's hard to tell if it's small crystals or liquid. Just makes it feel super damp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Geos was 13-14, no? Somewhere around 13" I thought. Probably going to top 15" after today. That's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torontonian Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Same here. Amazing the difference between north and south of the 401 with this storm. Just drove my daughter to school which is about 100 feet higher in elevation north of Davenport here downtown T.O Where we might have 2 inch of slush, up 100 ft. by her school they might have an inch more. This storm didn't get near the hype in T.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 5.4" at ORD through 6:00am. Now tied for the 18th snowiest February in recorded history for Chicago (15.5"). 4.6" at RFD. 5th snowiest February in recorded history for Rockford (20.3"). http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=lot&storyid=92912&source=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 There are a lot of very sad and droopy trees in Ann Arbor today. 4-5ish inches of pure cement on top of freezing rain/sleet base. 10-15' pine tree near me actually was pulled over and pulled out by its roots.

Geos Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Somewhere around 13" I thought. Probably going to top 15" after today. That's pretty good. I topped Sheboygan or tied! 9.5" when I cleared my snowboard, and another area without drifting at 7pm last night. Gained another 5.9" overnight. Total so far. 14.5 Total depth about 14". First pic of the day. Still snowing out. 32° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Seems about right, maybe underdone by Geos. Talk about a jackpot, Geos are you sure there aren't snow machines strategically placed in your yard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about a jackpot, Geos are you sure there aren't snow machines strategically placed in your yard? Haha, I think someone stopped by with a few machines last night. Correction: It's 14.5". I added a small amount I shouldn't have. Could easily hit 15" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontonian Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 More snow on College St compared to Lakeshore Blvd. An inch by the lake and close to two inches in the College/Bloor St area. You got it right. Very elevation dictated. 1 inch Lakeshore, 2 inch my area Bloor/College, 3 inch north of Davenport and the T.O. folks north of 401 are reporting 4 inches or slightly more. Overall very disappointing storm.1 or 2 degrees less and we all would have been hammered with snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Looks like some of the guidance will be correct in re-developing a decent band across the area...probably will see up to an additional 2-3" in some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Reports in the AA are anywhere from 4 to 7 inches and I didn't take a final measurement so what the storm total is here lol...

stormtrackertf Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Weird that we only got 3.0" here in Detroit, but 30 miles to the west in the Ann Arbor areas there are LSR's of 7"+. The higher elevations/distance from the lake must have done them good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardMafia Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 More sweetness. Definitely a plastering. Decent looking band of snow from about Quincy on east to Terre Haute right now. 33º with a few rain drops falling here. So much for the band producing much of anything here (just some drizzle). What a surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Same here. Amazing the difference between north and south of the 401 with this storm. Well, it's not black and white. About an inch downtown, 3" and counting here, 5" where you are. The gradient worked out but the amounts weren't as high. I was thinking about 8" near Steeles Ave by about 10 this morning, and I was one of the more conservative calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1vek Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Started my commute from Lincoln Park with slush of a few inches and mist falling from the sky. As I headed north on 90 to 94, snow depth increased and the mist turned to flakes. Sitting in Lincolnshire there is moderate to borderline heavy snow falling at the moment. I missed the big one in Chicago two years ago. The city has been paying for it since and I have been lucky enough to move in just in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
