buckeye Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 NWOH finally getting in on some snow action today... probably won't do much but at least it's better than the 34F and rain instead of 34 and rain you have 36 and snow... Today epitomizes everything I hate about late Feb and March when it comes to winter weather. Raw, drizzly, and mid 30's....will soon transition over to raw, non-sticking wet snow and mid 30's. depressing as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak 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. Like a broken record, ARB area wins again. Though I do have to say 7.4" surprised me. Does that sound a bit high? Of course with thr slushy cement I ts hard to measure.

Geos Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Great pictures Harrisale! --- Beast - Looks like that LES band or lake enhanced band will slide through most shoreline area from Waukegan up to your area. Just small flakes here now. 1-3" in my grid for this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course with thr slushy cement I ts hard to measure. My 4-5 inches was based upon an area that might have gotten tree melt falling on it. On further examination, it was probably 6 or so IMBY. 6 inches of total cement. The peak area seems to be smack dab in central Ann Arbor which probably had an inch or so more than what I got. Lots of tree damage in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only it were as accurate for here we would've been over a foot as well. Some warm air intrusion it must have missed in modelling southern Ontario. Fun storm though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 All sorts of convergence zones across southern Wisconsin today. We're in the middle of a mini baroclinic cyclone it looks like, with a warm front like convergence zone extending across Lake Michigan, a very diffuse cold front structure extending down into Iowa, and another associated band near the backedge hitting La Crosse. That puts Madison near the triple point, we have bands approaching from the north and east. http://tempest.aos.wisc.edu/radar/wi3compflash.html 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. Looks like it set up farther north across the MKE CWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Still snowing here, but only sticking where the sun wouldn't be shining and on the existing snow. About 0.4°C now. Actually system snow as LOT put it, through 7am was about 14" and these leftover snow showers have tacked on another 1.2". Can see some heavier band to the ENE drifting this way.

turtlehurricane Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 500 mb analysis confirms that it's a baroclinic cyclone, it's a mid-upper level feature with little low level signature. East winds and warm air advection across northern IL and southern WI with cold air advection in western WI down through IA. The band over La Crosse is more of a warm front than the feature over Lake Michigan, which is a convergence zone but doesn't have typical warm front structure. That band over central IL is probably the cold front, stuff over Iowa is more of a TROWAL (trough of warm air aloft). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southeast I'm guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
