snowlover2 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I have been keeping an eye on the potential for moisture enhancement and the models do seem to be hinting at it as well. Any personal guesses as to how much we might receive here in the Dayton area? I'm going with 6-8 around here but I think someone may receive close to a foot if all the condtions come together just right... The fact that the snow will happen after dark is a big plus. I would not be surprised if we get at least 8" if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I thought you were in Racine today. Racine south should do really well with accumulations. Pouring snow here right now. Should hit 4" by 2pm. Temp down to -2°C. At UWM right now but it looks like Racine is getting nailed right now. 1.4" at MKE as of noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern_IN_Wx Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Snowing lightly for several hours now. About a Half inch so far. Still thinking a solid 4-6 inches possible here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 At UWM right now but it looks like Racine is getting nailed right now. 1.4" at MKE as of noon. Some of the best returns are on the RAC/KEN county line near the lake. Really wintry looking several miles to your south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
