Chitown Storm Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 crashing temps really helping ratios out...get a really nice SN under 15-20 dbz returns. yeah our ratios sucked for the first 6-8 hours last night. That cut into the total accums. But nice fluffy flakes now really adding up quickly. I was skeptical about the 3-5" additional in my point for today, but I can see that happening now.

A-L-E-K Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 not that it really matters but 12z NAM goes ham over STL-CMI-LAF still looks a little aggressive with defo push into Chicago but hey, i'm already at or above warning criteria so no complaining.

weatherbo Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Snow increasing in intensity here...about 3/4 mile vis...decent flake size. Expecting a foot of snow! And most of it falling during the day. Not too shabby! enjoy! I'd love to ride this out in my old 'hood down there! I'll deal with my 6-8" of LE the next couple days... my main show will be blowing and drifting and the low visibilities with the talcum snow.
