Geos Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Some decent returns in central Iowa, probably is less impressive than it actually looks. Time to shovel and measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Getting some light snow here. Storm has been a mild surprise as mid level saturation issues were not as bad as progged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Finished with 3.6" here off of 0.25" liquid. Makes for a ratio just over 14:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Storm total of 4.1" with 0.26" liquid equivalent. So a 15-16:1 ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Yeah the tap just completely shut off and radar cleared out. HRRR has a brief period of moderate to heavy snow around 2-4am, so holding out hope. 1.0" is a high call. I'd go for DAB to 0.1" and thats a lucky bet.

Geos Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Storm total of 4.1" with 0.26" liquid equivalent. So a 15-16:1 ratio. Is that RAC? I got 4.1" also. Waiting for my snow to melt to get a ratio. Hmm, I did measure a spot on my board at 4.2". Might have to call it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Measured at my house...I see a 5" report from not too far away... Yeah Racine had a little more LES this morning, so I can see that being true. That location is probably around Taylor and Washington roughly. 0920 PM SNOW 2 WSW RACINE 42.72N 87.82W 12/08/2013 M5.0 INCH RACINE WI TRAINED SPOTTER 5 INCHES. 2.2 INCHES INTHE LAST 4 HOURS Haha, 0.26" here also.

harrisale Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 1.0" is a high call. I'd go for DAB to 0.1" and thats a lucky bet. Hmm I haven't made a call yet on this event, mostly because its so meager (although still welcomed) and not really an ON event but I'll go ahead and say 2cm for my backyard (0.78 inches). This region of WAA at 850mb moving north towards us won't help ratios much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This region of WAA at 850mb moving north towards us won't help ratios much. The WAA should be short-lived and should come into play 5-8 hours from now. Temperatures should be slightly above freezing in the morning falling back in the afternoon to below freezing. By then the precip will have passed our region. Got an exam tomorrow, lol. Gonna be a tough commute going to downtown.. I think 1-2cm is the highest we'll see. It disappoints you when regions much further south see more snow than you. And even more, is the possibility of another decent snowfall event on Tuesday for them -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Between 3 and 4 new inches from today. This is on top of the 2 inches we already had, so snowpack is nearing 6 inches. Here is a webcam nearby my house. The wind really blows it around there. Still snowing heavily, but looks like it will taper off soon. The 00Z NAM is showing 6 to 8 inches of lake effect coming! http://www.springlakeyachtclub.com/OurClub/WebCam.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 . Controllable snowcam, bookmarked! Yeah, it is sweet. The things I don't like about it: it is along a windy spot on the lake, so the snow gets blown away...and it faces south, so it is first to melt. Lol. So take whatever you see there and add a couple inches, and that is what I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Looks like it ended up being a solid event for a good portion of the region, all that downplaying busted hard around Chicago though. Nice to see busts high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see busts high. Yeah several of us definitely busted. Of course a bust is always nice when it's in your favor though. I rode my 1.2" call for here and MLI after several runs in a row that were significantly drier than previous runs. The 00z guidance last night quickly increased totals, but I had already committed to my call so I went down with the ship lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc2man13 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Roughly 3.5 inches in Glenview. I'm very pleased with the outcome of this storm. I wonder if the snowpack will make a difference in lows later this week in the form of radiational cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 That's for sure! Sorry you guys missed out. How much did you manage? Probably about half inch, right now we have light freezing drizzle here at KDTW. Yeah several of us definitely busted. Of course a bust is always nice when it's in your favor though.

Don't worry about it, I said most in the region would get a solid 1-3" I didn't expect the lollipops to 4-5" in Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about it, I said most in the region would get a solid 1-3" I didn't expect the lollipops to 4-5" in Wisconsin. Some of the pessimism was inexplicable. The deep DGZ was well modeled and it was a clear signal for higher than average ratios given no worries about flake shattering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we will all hear that the lake shore received 0.7" that all melted tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Central Wisconsin still getting a band of steady moderate snow at times. Looks like a pretty good band getting into Green Bay. These areas were expected to get some of the higher amounts, and looks like they will make a comeback to some decent amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
