Chicago WX Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 This might be comparable to 3/25-26/2002 but neither of us were here then. Noticed that St. Louis list you posted earlier in the thread...seems like their late season snow climo is better than ours. lol, yeah. STL crushes us in March snow climatology.

Hoosier Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 LOL yep, although this is Charleston, not really what I'd call the tropics Tim and I have a joke about LAF being in the tropics, relatively speaking. If LAF is then you certainly are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 12z Euro went south, taking the best snows comfortably south of LAF. Crushes Indy, Anderson, Muncie, etc. The trusty RAP clobbers us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that St. Louis list you posted earlier in the thread...seems like their late season snow climo is better than ours. That storm was absolutely insane for cutoff here. I picked up 8.0" imby. There was a report of 12" in Dundee (Monroe county). However...at DTW, only 4.7" fell...at Dearborn only 1.1" fell...at Ann Arbor only 0.2" fell and at Pontiac not a flake fell. It was the greatest cutoff I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Feels to warm to snow......maybe it is just my blood pressure after more Buckeye theatrics at the Tournament........... Heavy banding just to the ssw of LAF. Yep, the smackdown is soon to begin for the LAF crew. Speaking of buckeyes, it looks like CMH may have gotten in on a little of the lead action.

Hoosier Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The RAP blows. I was being sarcastic, although it's putting the good stuff over us in the 6-12 hour period which I put a little more stock in than the period beyond 12 hours. We're going to do very well even if the heaviest totals end up south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Up to 1.2" here, but the snow is beginning to let up. Melting is already evident so I doubt I can add anything before this first wave ends. Considering it didn't start sticking until a bit past 2pm, 1.2" in about two hours isn't bad for this far south in late March during the afternoon. If snow can stick around on the ground until later this evening when the next wave moves in from the west can see a quick burst of nice accumulations...the forecast temp profiles for tonight as the precip moves through are similar to this afternoon so will expect mostly snow. RLX has upped my advisory to 3-5", and am thinking with 1.2" all the way down the low end of my 2-4" guess should have no problem verifying. Best will be probably 20 miles or so to my north where they won't dry slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
