cyclone77 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Visible satellite tomorrow should be very interesting over Indiana. The rain/snow line has been stalled on the southeast side of Indy for several hours. Ripping heavy snow to heavy rain in a few miles. Should be some dramatic cutoff images from the sat tomorrow. St.Louis is the new Madison of the southern Midwest. They've been in the cross-hairs of some big snowstorms the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Over 8 inches in Howell, biggest storm since 2000 in danger of being beat.... I'm guessing 18 inches is very possible, with a total depth around 2 feet by Monday at noon. Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Starting to rip and starting to stick. Too bad the precipitation is so showery. Would be nice if the main stratiform back west would hurry up. Wasting favourable thermals by the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Going on 7 here. Hoping that defo band will curl in as it moves away. Still, my early call of 9" is looking good. If you look at the Evansville radar, its kinda trying to fill in...but it's patchy. But, it also has some convective looking stuff that could be really fun...if runs through here at some point.

Geos Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Nah think in 77 or 78 it was 40"+ We would need some wetter snowfalls for that. All this dry snow compacts right away. 17" snow depth here. It is fairly dense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
