Light snow beginning to fall... we have a coating on the roads from practically no liquid. Ratios are probably higher then 20:1 with blowing snow as well.

A-L-E-K Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Just saw that WV loop, you can see a nice slug of better moisture trying to push north into NE IL out of NW IN...radar returns confirm.

I think you've got a good chance of going over that range with 2" down. FWIW the CIPS analog for this is Dec 16th 2007,BUF saw a foot and 8 miles north 18" was recorded.

stormtrackertf Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Save for this little break in the action that's about to quickly transit the metro area from south to north here in about a half hour, we might actually miss out on that gigantic dry slot over E Indiana and into Ohio.

Yeah that big dry slot looks to miss us and IWX's radar is loaded with nice bands. Looking really good for us locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as trends look right now I'm not expecting that band to drill the city in the next 90 minutes. It'll probably take several more hours to grudgingly reach the lake shore.
