wisconsinwx Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Racine is definitely going to end up with a pretty nice total. Lake effect snow band making its way onshore in Racine and possibly far S Milwaukee Counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Wow, so LOT is predicting that much from this point forward! A bigger LES band is just moving in. Solid moderate snow. 12z NMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I heard there is 2.5" in Toledo. I'm in BG w/ 3.25" but I've heard anything from 2.5-4" north of here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Doctor Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Up to 6.5" now. Haven't seen any rippage since last night; right now it's just pure pixies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Doctor Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Wow, so LOT is predicting that much from this point forward! I think that's just expected storm total not what's going to fall from this point forward. I'm right on the 8 inch barrier on the map but the P and C only has me for 1-3.5 more inches.

IWXwx Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Speaking of the ARW. How about that 1.55" QPF bullseye over Lake county, Indiana! Yeah, I wonder if there are any web cams in that area. The LES rates could be crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 you can really see the lake influence now on LOT radar. Mixing of LE and synoptic snow bands really lighting up the radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Closing in on 3" but flake size is squat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 About 1.7" since 12z. Seems this area is increasingly benefiting from the very southwest tentacle of some lake-forced banding, perhaps converging with the synoptic forcing. A low-end moderate snow has become common here though flake habit and size leaves a bit to be desired. Will definitely need to plow again later, so more money for me from the jobs that my brothers are supposed to be doing, lol. Honestly somewhat surprised by how well I am doing. Seems to be a bit of a gradient in accumulation between my location and Thundersnow's, about four or five miles to my south-southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 This is a tough call with lake effect but after spending today and much of tomorrow morning/afternoon focusing on the WI/IL shore, the band should start to pivot eastward into northwest IN later tomorrow. One of the reasons that it's a tough call is that multiple hi-res models are indicating that the longest residence time may be in WI/IL but the maximum intensity of the band may not occur until it's swinging through Chicago and into Indiana. Really tough to single out a particular county for maximum amounts at this point but interesting that the hi-res runs are showing somewhere in Lake or Porter county IN.
