iluvsnow Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Chinook...I am no expert on the new radar...but can tell you that I live just southeast of Dayton on that radar...and your snapshot took place just as the precip switched from rain to heavy snow. I would say the yellow speckled returns are rain...the solid purple is snow! Don't know if that is what you were looking to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afterimage Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Nice update, hope it is on track: ISSUED AT 738 PM EST TUE MAR 5 2013 UPDATE... RAIN HAS MADE THE TRANSITION OVER TO SNOW ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL INDIANA A FEW HOURS EARLIER THAN ANTICIPATED. AS A RESULT...ADJUSTED TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS AND WARNING AREA. EXTENDED WARNING FURTHER SOUTHWEST TO A LINE FROM WARREN COUNTY TO JENNINGS COUNTY. TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST ARE NOW EXPECTED...5 TO 7 INCHES OVER THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF FORECAST AREA...AND 7 TO 9 INCHES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. CURRENT RADAR MOSAIC IS REPRESENTATIVE OF INCREASED FRONTOGENETIC FORCING AT 925 MB OVER THE EAST-CENTRAL COUNTIES OF CENTRAL INDIANA...WHICH WAS PART OF REASONING FOR THE INCREASE IN AREA OF WARNING.

IWXwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I just measured 5" and still pouring here. Congrats to all who are getting some good snows. Other than MI/ON, looking like a pretty good spread the wealth snow. I was watching radar earlier and when I saw the heavier bands moving in, I threw the wife into the truck and headed out. We just drove around out in the country watching SN and some +SN. We pulled over and watched it come down for awhile. Pretty awesome. It was cool to be out in it rather than watching on radar and out the window. I didn't even attempt to take pictures since it was in the dark countryside. Great photos being posted here. Looks like I'll make at least 6", my mark for a great storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RATES OF 1 IN/HR WILL BE POSSIBLE. DISCUSSION...REPORTS FROM THE NSSL PRECIPITATION IDENTIFICATION NEAR THE GROUND -- PING -- PROJECT AND COORDINATION WITH THE WILMINGTON OH WFO INDICATE THAT HEAVY WET SNOW IS INCREASING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY ACROSS PORTIONS OF E-CNTRL INDIANA. THIS IS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CORE OF A NW/SE-SHEARED ZONE OF WAA-RELATED PRECIPITATION OVER THE OH VALLEY. THE PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY CONTINUE OVER THE AREA INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AS A MID-LEVEL CYCLONE TRACKS SEWD/PARALLEL TO THE LONG AXIS OF THE ISENTROPIC ASCENT ZONE. LOW-LEVEL TRAJECTORIES INTO THE AREA EMANATE FROM A SOURCE REGION OF SUB-FREEZING WET BULB TEMPERATURES...WHICH WILL YIELD A PHASE CHANGE TO SNOW ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THIS WILL ALSO SUPPORT AN INCREASE IN SNOW RATES THROUGH THE EVENING...WITH AMDAR DATA SUGGESTING EFFICIENT SNOW AGGREGATION OWNING TO NEARLY ISOTHERMAL LAYERS BETWEEN 850 AND 700 MB. RATES REACHING 1 IN/HR WILL BE POSSIBLE...POTENTIALLY IMPACTING THE DAYTON METRO AREA BETWEEN 0230Z AND 0600Z. TO THE E/SE OF THE MCD AREA ACROSS CNTRL OH...A LOW-LEVEL WARM SECTOR FEATURING ABOVE-FREEZING THERMAL PROFILES IS EVIDENT PER REGIONAL SFC OBS AND THE 00Z ILN RAOB. PROVIDED THE ENEWD TRACK OF A SFC LOW...AND STRONG EWD SURGE OF THE DEEPER COLD AIR TO THE S OF THE LOW...AT LEAST PARTIAL SECLUSION OF THE WARM AIR CURLING AROUND THE LOW MAY GREATLY DELAY A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW FOR COLUMBUS AND ITS VICINITY AND POINTS FARTHER E. RAIN MAY POTENTIALLY BE THE PREDOMINANT PRECIP TYPE THROUGH AT LEAST 06Z/07Z -- AS AFFIRMED BY THE CONSENSUS AMONG HIGH-RESOLUTION WRF GUIDANCE.

wisconsinwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Just measured and reported to Milwaukee/Sullivan 5.0". About what I expected to see. I'm sure the airport will be a tad higher, they started with the steady snow a tad sooner, perhaps received slightly better LE as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 about 8.2 now ... still solid SN .... admittedly though, the measurement might not be completely accurate as there is some blowing and drifting now....but did take an average of about 10 measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 too wet here until the last minute drying trends but a solid performance overall. I think you could argue they were right on,but last nights 00Z runs with less QPF were the problem. For most metro spots this is going to be a 6-10 inch snowfall with some 12inch reports likely. I thought last nights runs made many think 4-7 as opposed to 6-12 inch calls prior. I think you will be surprised at reported totals outside the loop proper. Plus consider morning snowfall was impacted by warm temps or totals would have been higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
