Fickle Heights Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Riding this one out at KFickle. Just measured 4" which melted to 0.35 liquid. Vis is about a quarter mile and the wind is picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Cold air is really going to start pouring into central IL and IN soon. So get your snow removal activities done early. Looks like the atmosphere is trying saturated again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ya I'm sure you will. lol It will end up raining over the GTA but to say that we will get nothing this evening/tonight just makes little sense based on surface OBS and short range modelling. I understand your frustration, but common. I'm guessing he means 1 additional inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 3-4 inches here! Yippee! Not bad. Good luck the rest of the way! I'm gonna eat lunch, pull the blinds and take a nap. Hopefully when I wake up, it'll be better than the 36 and - -SN I have right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 For SEMI, HRRR says yes by this evening. This is going to be threading a needle IMBY. Not liking how this is looking, just a bad feeling. Lambertville At 34°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*IndyMeso* Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Snow emergency issued for Hamilton County (the county just north of Indianapolis). Looks like travel is suspended there. I suspect more counties will fall as the afternoon progresses. Well that escalated quickly but I can verify. Snow is just pouring here and hasn't let up for the past hour. Visibility is easily down to a quarter mile. I see a lot of people driving but heading towards neighborhoods... hopefully they stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 This is going to be threading a needle IMBY. Not liking how this is looking, just a bad feeling. Lambertville At 34°. Don't worry. Little minor slotting, lots of moisture southwest of it has to go through your area. Moisture will cool the temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 This is going to be threading a needle IMBY. Not liking how this is looking, just a bad feeling. Lambertville At 34°. It hasn't snowed at all there yet. I think you'll see places cool a few degrees as snow begins. I think I'm safe in Ann Arbor. Pretty bad model fail if we get any mixing here. Solid SN and 30 degrees here currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Bad thermometer is bad. It's probably more like 32-33 in most of LAF. Lots of dripping and melting at my place. Won't make 6" at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*IndyMeso* Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 If IND can remain all snow then they should get near the highest totals in IN but best bet seems to be a little north of there. I like what you say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 More than I expected to have at this point. More eastern parts of the state might get the heaviest rate but we should do well. Bingo. Detroit may very well actually see the HEAVIEST snowfall this evening with the main storm, but this area will have a total frontal snow portion of 1-2" while northern suburbs a solid 3-6". Thus why storm totals are higher NW of town. DTX just updated their forecast totals from 7-11" to 8-14" north of Detroit and from 6-9" to 7-11" south of Detroit. If the ratios get fluffy later, that wont be enough IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It will end up raining over the GTA but to say that we will get nothing this evening/tonight just makes little sense based on surface OBS and short range modelling. I understand your frustration, but common. Oops, I should have phrased it better. I meant 1" aside from whats fallen already. I'm frustrated of getting screwed over all the time. But hey? What can you do when you live in a snowless sh!t pot, lol. And TorontoBlizzard, I actually mean "I will retire", lol. Good luck to everybody else.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 That's a beautiful train of precip with this storm. I wouldn't be surprised to see some 18 inch totals coming out of somewhere in Indiana or Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Lots of dripping and melting at my place. Won't make 6" at this rate. You can see the colder air is not far off from you. Things will look up soon. Back to -SN here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardof96 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm guessing he means 1 additional inch. Fair enough. Sfc low seems on track to slip towards the KY/OH border or near Cincinnati based on noaa meso analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extremewx52 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 band of SN+ setting up one row of counties east of me. figures...still pretty fun regardless. Next band looks like it wants to set up over us. Although it will probably set up over me and leave you in the screw zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 +SN here now. Winds really blowing. Visibility down to one block in the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Solid rates continue here along the lakefront as defo band grazes the area. Measured over 9" but that sounds a bit high and blowing is becoming an issue. Took a jeb walk down to the lakefront and it's not hard to imagine blizzard criteria being met in more open spaces. Great event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 That's a beautiful train of precip with this storm. I wouldn't be surprised to see some 18 inch totals coming out of somewhere in Indiana or Michigan. I think you're going to see the best chance of that in MI somewhere in a line from Jackson to Brighton stretching northeast and then east across the northern suburbs. They got frontal snows last night plus they're in a very favorable corridor for rippage as the day goes on plus no real p-type or cement concerns.

I had Mottser - B-Rent - afterimage in my jackpot area. But yeah, IND is doing a hell of a job fighting off the very close warm air aloft. Tacked on another inch last hour, and currently heavy snow.
