Last minute miracle at YYZ? Either way it's going to be rip city for a while here. Bands back in IN look very intense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Picked up another 0.2" since 2pm. Combination of wind and -SN is making a mess out of the roads. All roads have snow on them at this point. Salt, calcium chloride doesn't even phase them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 law enforcement all over Chicagoland urging everyone to suspend road travel this evening. Some communities west of me telling people that if they get stranded, they might be be reached for several hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Last video from me, that I just took, I promise. Some solid action from about 1:00 to 1:50. With a bonus slow roller...wherever the hell they're going... Is the car port pretty much, first come, first serve? Be nice to park under there. Nice video.

The_Global_Warmer Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Snow has became immeasurable at the end. But I had 9.5-10" and then pulled another .27 liquid until 5 min ago. So I probably ended with about 14-15". But to be fair to science I am going with 13". Which is technically the second biggest in Belleville recorded history. The biggest was 14.8" in 1982. Ironically we actually got 20-30". I have no idea how the totals from then were so underdone. IT's quite embarrassing. The totals were 25" then 13" 5 miles away. Much better reporting today. Still I Know it was above 13". There was just no way to get an accurate measure with the insane winds and powder. Boxes or snow boards failed in this case.

harrisale Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Solid SN now. If we can keep these rates up for a bit we may make it into my 4-10cm range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Much warmer air aloft already reaching the north shore of Lk Erie. No miracle is going to occur. Enjoy the few hours of bliss. Do you think we'll see any freezing rain? How about the thunder sleet Roger Smith is hinting at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Wow insane rippage. Nearly impossible to measure but my best guess is about 9" total. Or 1" or 3 feet depending on where in the yard you measure. I will be uploading pictures and a video shortly. Just measured a few minutes ago and I'm close to 10" so that would fit pretty well with your report. It's really a best guess at this point with all the drifting.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think my 5" call is going to verify If you include the fgen band snowfall...possibly but unlikely. Stepped outside. Snowing nicely but I was expecting more based on the intensity on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we could see a brief period of -ZR. No opinion on TS potential as I haven't investigated the instability parameters. I haven't seen any lightning being detected with the current batch, if that means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowing nicely but I was expecting more based on the intensity on radar. Its really picking up in my area. Hopefully we can skew in some worthy snowfall totals, but so far January has started as a putrid month for us. Sucks!! Temperatures will probably be above freezing for 2-4 hours before they crash.

Chicago WX Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Certainly not a blizzard by criteria/definition, but definite blizzard conditions at times here tonight. Some real whiteout type moments in the past hour or so. I think Tippecanoe county is the only one of the surrounding counties that hasn't banned travel tonight...which is asinine. There's no sense in anyone driving around in this city, let alone out into the rural areas....outside of an emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Finished with 8.5" here Hard to measure but a few spots in my backyard that don't have to deal with drifting as much Winter total now 29.8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogieman Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 this is going to go down as the biggest snowstorm since NYE 2007 for mby and probably exceed the totals from that storm very exciting stuff We shoveled the drive and deck off around 2PM. There was easily 7" of snow from last night/this morning. Since then, we have another foot of snow down and it doesn't look like it's stopping for several more hours. This is crazy! So, basically, around 19" and however much more this storm has left to dump on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordoFabulous Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Was at 7" of cement last time I checked around 4:30pm, but it looked like I should be measuring more than that by eyeball. Still coming down pretty good here. I don't think we'll hit the magical 1', but we might get to 10". Really glad we stayed out of the rain. I would not want to see what would happen with rain-soaked snow on all of the tree, followed by a flash freeze and a high winds. Some pictures: Looking down the street. A view of the house. The big pile is about 4' high. The most impressive part about this storm, so far, is how the snow is sticking to the twigs like this. I've seen this with ice storms all the time, but I don't recall seeing this with straight snow. A testament to how cement-like the snow is to this point.
