cyclone77 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Lake effect band definitely showing up better now. Wish LOT would switch out of VCP 32 since it only updates every 10-11min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The snow has been coming waves. Constantly snowing though. You would think there would be someone else at ORD that can measure snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Looks like some enhancement from huron? Yeah there is lake effect snow advisories for that along Lake Huron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yeah there is lake effect snow advisories for that along Lake Huron Thanks. The good news it's reaching this way. Should keep the snow going a little longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers09 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Somewhere around 5.5- 6 inches and still snowing. Looks like theres still some snow to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 4.9 at 6:30 5.3 at 7:30 .... rate definitely slowed compared to the previous 2 hours....but still fluctuating between -SN and SN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I got a measly 1.3" from wave #3, which makes my total for the series of clippers 4.0". It's a real nickel & dimer season so far, totaling 19.8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 sweet....looks like that LE is gonna be smacking me here in northern Wilco for awhile....obviously not quite the rates closer to the lake....but I will take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Lake band setting up over far NE Cook is interesting. That area has seem the best overlap from Round 1 and 2 and will likely do the best from the main LE show. Could see some wild totals when all is said and done.

Gilbertfly Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 nice bulge/kink from northern cook on north to the IL/WI border.... and convergence looks like it could feed some of the LE down to MBY in spurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 seems reasonable, about what I'm thinking Radar upstream looks good. Hopefully that better banding is kind to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Anyone have any maps on the LES from Lake Huron for the backside of the system. Seen one a few days ago who put quite the streamer over our area. Wondered if it still was showing up.... As for the snow still coming down at 1/2"per hr on average. Excited to see all the pixy dust fly around when the next wind comes to town !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 So far, DTW has recorded 5.2" over a 24 hour period. Nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Madison still reporting snow @ 0143Z ... so that LE is really making nice push inland... also... from LOT... //DISCUSSION...UPDATED 0130Z...HAVE MADE SOME UPDATES TO THE CHICAGO AREA TERMINALS TO PROLONGTHE REDUCED VSBY IN SNOW. RADAR TRENDS SHOW THE MAIN BAND OF SNOWCONTINUING TO PUSH SOUTH BUT RENEWED DEVELOPMENT HAS BEENOCCURRING ACROSS THE NORTHERN METRO ON THE NORTHERN FLANK OF THEMAIN SNOW AREA. THIS LOOKS TO BE A COMBINATION OF THE LARGER SCALEFORCING WITH SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT PROCESSES. AM THINKING THAT ASTHE LARGER SCALE SNOW MOVES FURTHER SOUTH THIS ENHANCEMENT WILLDIMINISH. THE BIG QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER MORE TRADITIONAL LAKEEFFECT SHOWERS WILL HAVE BEGUN BY THAT TIME. FOR NOW WILL INCLUDEA BREAK WITH BETTER VSBY FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE LAKE SNOW SHOWERSWOULD DEVELOP.MDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 So far, DTW has recorded 5.2: over a 24 hour period. Nice... Through 7pm....add in the 1.2" yesterday morning/afternoon and thats 6.4".....with many hours of snow to come. This will probably be the deepest, longest steady light snow Ive ever seen. 9pm statement: FOR DTW...LIGHT TO BRIEFLY MODERATE SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE TERMINAL THROUGH TONIGHT. RECENT OBSERVATIONS LOCALLY AND UPSTREAM SUGGEST CONDITIONS WILL LARGELY REMAIN IN IFR WITHIN THIS SNOWFALL. ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION OF UP TO 3 INCHES THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING... WITH HOURLY SNOWFALL RATES GENERALLY REMAINING AT A QUARTER OF AN INCH OR LESS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
