Ajdos Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 At 6pm.... Part 1...NYE through 3pm: 1.4" Part 2...eve NYE through 6pm: 5.3".....snow depth 6" Dendrites have since picked up. Its been a slow but steady accumulation all day. It seems like we jumped ahead of where I thought we would be by noon-1pm, then the afternoon was lighter than I expected. It has since picked up...sparkly blanket of powder outside...all is good. Models show snow continuing til about 2 or 3pm tomorrow! I guess snowfall will continue across my area with a steady, heavy accumulating snow of .1" per hour. We should grind around 1" by tmrw afternoon...Got about 3" thus far...

Chinook Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Moderate snow here south of Toledo with some heavy stuff coming I was generally seeing the 4km NAM and SREF averages show that Toledo will get 0.4" to 0.5" more QPF (after mid-day today), so I think it seems likely that 6-7 more inches could hit Toledo. Now, of course, that 0.5" figure from the 4km NAM runs is a little high, that could lead to 10", which is pretty unprecedented for Toledo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 LOT... WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO BRIEFLY MODERATE SNOW CONTINUES TO GRADUALLYSAG SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE CHICAGO/NW INDIANA TERMINALS WITH SOMECONTINUED REGENERATION ON THE NORTHERN FLANK. EXPECT THATORD/MDW/DPA WILL SEE IMPROVING VSBY AND DECREASING INTENSITY SNOWIN THE NEXT 1-2 HRS OR SO WITH GYY TAKING A BIT LONGER. CIGS HAVEBEEN IMPROVING AS WELL WITH MAINLY MID TO HIGH MVFR NOW SHOWING UPNORTH OF THE SNOW BAND.ATTENTION TURNS TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW POTENTIAL WITH LAKE EFFECTSNOW SHOWERS NOW OCCURRING ACROSS WISCONSIN. NORTHEAST WINDS WILLTURN MORE NORTHERLY LATER THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT ALLOWING THESESNOW SHOWERS TO MOVE/DEVELOP FURTHER SOUTH TOWARDS THE TERMINALS.CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF THIS IS NOT TERRIBLY HIGH THROUGH LATEEVENING BUT INCREASES OVERNIGHT AS PARAMETERS COME TOGETHER. AMTHINKING THAT SOME OF THESE SHOWERS MAY BE ABLE TO REACH THE RFDAREA LATER THIS EVENING BUT WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY VSBY REDUCTION ATTHIS TIME BUT WILL MONITOR. ORD/MDW/DPA REMAIN THE FAVORED AREASFOR SNOW SHOWERS FROM LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT.COVERAGE MAY BE MORE CELLULAR/BROKEN EARLY ON THEN BECOME MORESOLID/INTENSE WITH TIME TOWARD DAYBREAK AS LAKE EFFECT BETTERORGANIZES. THIS WILL LIKELY BRING IFR/LIFR VSBY AT LEAST AT TIMES.LAKE EFFECT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED THURSDAYMORNING AS CONVERGENCE MAXIMIZES. WINDS WILL BE TURNING MORENORTHERN THEN NORTH-NORTHWEST WITH TIME SUGGESTING THAT THE BANDWILL BE PIVOTING ACROSS ORD/MDW THEN SETTING UP JUST TO THE EASTBY MIDDAY. THE MAIN QUESTION WILL BE HOW LONG THE BAND WILL BEOVER THE TERMINALS...WHICH AT THIS POINT LOOKS TO POTENTIALLY BE AFEW HOURS BEFORE FOCUSING JUST TO THE EAST...PERHAPS BY JUST A FEWMILES. WITH THE BAND OVERHEAD...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IS EXPECTEDWITH 1/2 TO POTENTIALLY 1/4SM VSBY AT TIMES...WITH SEVERAL INCHESOF ACCUMULATION DEPENDING ON HOW LONG THE BAND IS OVERHEAD. DPAMAY BE AFFECTED LATE TONIGHT THROUGH AROUND DAYBREAK WITH THE BANDEXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE EAST. GYY MAY SEE MORE TRANSIENT SNOWSHOWERS TONIGHT THROUGH THE MORNING WITH THE MAIN BAND EXPECTED TOREACH THE TERMINAL AROUND MIDDAY WITH SEVERAL HOURS OFMODERATE/HEAVY SNOW POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON.WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE DETAILS/DURATION OF THINGSBUT HAVE DECENT CONFIDENCE IN THE OVERALL TRENDS.MDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Also I am at my mom's for the evening and we are sitting at 5" currently here in southern Warren. Looks like another 2-4" still to go too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think it was brought up before but stations like ORD don't follow those bogus new measuring guidelines right? Can you refer a thread or link to this info? It's something I've not heard about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think another 2-4" will be possible? At least for up here in S/Middle Macomb etc..Looks like Monroe/Wayne could cash in really nicely..
