Chicago WX Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Radar looking real nice for parts of central IL south of I-74. Nice banding north of STL and headed east. I think IND, BMG, CMH, etc are gonna do well. Radar to the west of here breaking up and back edge racing east/southeast. Just a few spits of snow here currently. How quickly things change. Still an outside shot at 3" if things break perfectly. We'll take what we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Without mentioning anything in the discussion, I noticed DTX once again bumped up total accums in their 9pm forecast update, saying total 5-8" for Washtenaw/Wayne and 6-9" for Lenawee/Monroe.

Powerball Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Snow is definitely being seeded by Lake Huron/St. Clair, based on the radar. I have noticed an increase in the intensity of the snow, granted nothing impressive. Flake size has improved as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Looking good...if i'm not mistaken it looks like you can finally see a distinct difference between synoptic and LE developing now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The snow up here right now is coming in waves, not consistent yet. Only put down 0.1" in the last hour. 12.8" total so far. The driveway is actually in decent shape right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 For whatever reason MKX decided to cancel the LE warning and lower snow amounts tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there is definitely seeder/feeder banding going on, when you loop the radar you can see bands moving in multiple directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you see on the models, but the radar sure doesn't look like it right now. I guess we'll see...and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 For whatever reason MKX decided to cancel the LE warning and lower snow amounts tomorrow... Maybe they expect the band to be transitory? What's your total up there so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 For whatever reason MKX decided to cancel the LE warning and lower snow amounts tomorrow... Right as the fetch is starting to improve and returns are picking up in Racine/Kenosha counties. We'll see... Then again, solid lake effect events are hard to come by on this side of the lake.

Brewers Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Maybe they expect the band to be transitory? What's your total up there so far? I have 8.2" so far. Nothing has fallen the past few hours but starting to see some light snow once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they would leave the warning up so they would have things covered in case things got out of hand tomorrow but i guess time will tell.

That would be unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thoroughly impressed with the lake effect setup tomorrow. 12/25-12/26/10 had a very similar synoptic setup except temperatures were much closer to freezing. That still had 15:1 ratios in Kenosha.
