Geos Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 MKX Office FB page sounded ominous with numerous accidents and hospitals filled. Hope things are manageable, it shows how important it is to consider LES and warn viewers/listeners. I saw two minor accidents by 10:30am. There's was no salt on the roads and it was even a little slick with my AWD vehicle. Linear banding showing up nicely. Bursts of +SN occurring here.

mimillman Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Steady light snow here should be coming to an end in an hour or so. Everything is covered, including roads. Pretty to say the least, but won't be much more than a half inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'm hoping some of those brighter returns out in SE Iowa make their way over here. Maybe that's what LOT is referring to when they said it's gonna be heavier this afternoon. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Tried to get a ratio reading, but it's too hard right now. It's over 30:1 though. 0.6" down at 12:45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc2man13 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Bank clock is 33 I was in Rogers Park on Friday night and the heat island effect there is incredible. It was 14 at my house in Glenview, 15 in downtown Skokie, 17 at Howard and McCormick and 20 at Howard and Clark according to my car thermometer. On topic, flake size is trying to pick up here with some larger flakes slowly mixing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 A friend just told me it took him 1 hr and 45 minutes to get from the northside of Kenosha to Shorewood! (which should be a 40 minute drive at most) Accidents everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cold out now but it's just snowing way too light to stick on heavily trafficked roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 MLI has had 1.4" of snow through 12:27pm, and 0.06" of precip through 12:52pm, so >20:1 ratios there according to my calculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 None of the models that I've looked at recently are picking up on this dry slot flying up this way. No sign of redevelopment yet over southeast Iowa, or west-central IL. Still some light snow falling there, but the lack of radar data in that area is abysmal.

Yeah that NE corner of MO has horrible coverage. Looks like you have similar rates to what I have now. Taken minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Seeing some Facebook reports of a large pileup accident on 94 in Wisconsin. Edit: beat me to it! Gets worse and worse every year; people are so used to going 10 or more over the speed limit, which may work in clear conditions, but not when it snows.

Chitown Storm Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I can't believe the mess on 94 in WI. This proves it doesn't take a large amount of snow to cause havoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The problem is that there was no salt on the roads to begin with. Mix that with drivers going too fast and you have accidents. More details. http://www.jrn.com/tmj4/news/Multiple-crash-scenes-reported-on-area-freeways-234963351.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I can't believe the mess on 94 in WI. This proves it doesn't take a large amount of snow to cause havoc. I always hate driving on 94 anyway. Everyone is either going 55 or 85. Doesn't seem to be much in between. Add snow and you have this mess.

Thundersnow12 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Latest HRRR seems to have a decent handle working this area of snow north then a lull before redevelopment around 21z from southeast IA into northern IL. Seen nicely on mean RH loop too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
