Sidewinder Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Whoa. Sure it's legit? Here is his twitter account. I would have switched to video for something like this, its just about unbelievable with the temps. Probably a real quick spinup, then dissipated. https://twitter.com/ChiPhotoGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 10.3" for the day here at DTW, probably add a couple tenths after midnight for a storm total around 11". Pretty incredible to have 2 systems over 10 inches in such a short period of time. Still some pretty good blowing snow right now, but the brunt of the system snow is just about over. Over on my side of town I didn't have a chance to measure but I would say we probably ended up with around 8 or 9" for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other time the storms were greater (16.0 and 14.1 in Feb/Mar 1900) but still this is extremely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is between 8 and 9 inches (blowing/drifting made it difficult). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I was temporarily stranded at the NWS office a little while ago. Got about 1/4 mile down the access road out and drove across a drift then the next one was too deep at 1 to 2.5 ft deep and I was about to get stuck so I had to get my coworker to come get me. Waited for one of the Will Co public works plows to plow to road so I could get out. As soon as it was plowed, immediately started drifting back over. We lost one of our snow boards too, and the snow drifts behind the building when I did the 00z ob were up to 40" in spots. I'm very worried that if the plows haven't come again or plow too early before when the day shift starts to arrive at 6am that the road will get severely drifted over again and the 2 guys coming in who drive small sedans will get stranded on the road. It's horrendous out there. Can't imagine what NW IN is like. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 9.25" officially for a storm total. The blowing and drifting is insane, walked into town and it is absolutely horrible. Probably will not be able to get back home at school until Wednesday. Best storm since Groundhog Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Wow, two 10-inchers in one SEASON is huge here. Two of them back-to-back? Just awesome, and then followed by historic cold... Finished with over 10” IMBY again as well. I won't be forgetting this week any time soon. Instant classic a-la January 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Pretty shocked to see that KMLI pulled off 7.8" of snow, but KDVN only 1.1" 11 miles away...nice gradient across DVN's CWA. Our seasonal total is 25.8" so only need 10" more for a normal Winter. All in all this is shaping up to be an amazing Winter, hopefully the snow god's don't shut us out the rest of the way. My hunch says that is not very likely. And what a Winter overall, so much snowier and colder than the last two for sure. I love the Midwest, that said I could do without the extreme cold/wind chills...but its amazing to experience every once in a great while. Congrats to all those who got some impressive totals out of this, I'd call this one an overachiever around here for sure. Nice to see a wide swath of our subforum get a good snow. Kinda bummed if we get a system next weekend that rains on us. I think the pattern we are locked in will probably re-load again though sometime in the next 10 days and we may just do it all over again right through the end of the month.

on_wx Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Winds are picking up and the blowing snow has begun. Until official totals come in for Kitchener/Waterloo we may be around 7" to as high as 8.6" (University of Waterloo precip gauge at 22mm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 View from my balcony of some blowing snow just now in the neighbouring lot. Have measured 8" at 430am in the parking lot. (not the most reliable way to do it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGEROUS BLIZZARD CONDITIONS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. STRENGTHENING NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE QUICKLY BLASTING IN BITTERLY COLD ARCTIC AIR TODAY IN THE WAKE OF AN INTENSE WINTER STORM THAT IS MOVING ACROSS THE RENFREW AREA INTO SOUTHERN QUEBEC. FLURRIES OFF OF LAKE HURON AND GEORGIAN BAY WILL INTENSIFY INTO FREQUENT STRONG SNOW SQUALLS BY THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGIONS. MANY OF THE SNOW SQUALLS WILL EXTEND QUITE FAR INLAND AS THE WINDS BECOME QUITE STRONG AND GUSTY. LOCAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 15 TO 30 CM ARE QUITE POSSIBLE IN SNOW SQUALLS BY TUESDAY MORNING. A COMBINATION OF THE DANGEROUS SNOW SQUALLS WITH EXTREME WIND CHILLS OF MINUS 35 TO MINUS 40 WILL PRODUCE FREQUENT BLIZZARD CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. FREQUENT TO WIDESPREAD VERY LOW TO NIL VISIBILITIES WITH NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ESPECIALLY IN EXPOSED AREAS DURING THE SNOW SQUALLS. THE COMBINATION OF A FRESH HEAVY SNOWFALL FROM LAST NIGHT'S STORM WITH INTENSE SNOW SQUALLS TODAY WITH BITTER WIND CHILLS POSES A LIFE-THREATENING RISK FOR ANYONE OUTSIDE FOR ANY DURATION, OR STRANDED IN VEHICLES IF ROADS BECOME SNOW-BLOCKED. TRAVELLERS NEED TO ENSURE THEY HAVE AN ADEQUATE CAR EMERGENCY KIT AND AMPLE FUEL IF TRAVELLING ANY DISTANCE.

WWCN11 CWTO 061003 SEVERE WEATHER BULLETINISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT 5:03 AM EST MONDAY 6 JANUARY 2014. ---------------------------------------------------------------------WATCHES/WARNINGS IN EFFECT FOR SOUTHERN ONTARIO... BLIZZARD WARNING FOR: I was just going to post that, how awesome . Its the first time I've ever been under a blizzard warning officially!! I do wonder if its proper considering its lake effect and not a system snow but the conditions will be the same so I side with EC. I just hope it pans out, don't let me down now Lake Huron... I don't really know how much snow I got but I assume 20 cm as forecast. Snow pack is largest since 2007-2008 winter season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Like the entire sub-forum, it's blowing this morning..... also a fine, low visibility snow flying... picked up 2-3" last night and this is what's expected in addition by tomorrow afternoon as some energy and a west flow settles in. looking forward to the warmth later in the week!

michsnowfreak Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Nice pictures from the D Ithielz! Had 0.4" of fluffy snow overnight so storm total was 9.9", snow depth 17". There is some drifting obviously but it actually wasnt as bad as I thought it was. Its absolutely gorgeous outside and the snow is DEEP and heavy powder. Cannot wait to see what kind of potential we have down the road with this base. Total liquid equivalent was 0.88". DTW finished with a storm total of 10.6"...so a 10.6" (ties for 23rd largest) and 11.1" (tied 19th largest) storm in the same week. Impressive, and only the 2nd time on record two 10"+ storms occurred in the same week (Feb 28-Mar 5, 1900 being the other, although those storms were more impressive at 16.1" and 14.0"). The 11.6" snowstorm that lasted 48 hours earlier in the week had 0.64" water in it (plus 0.07" water in the 1.4" appetizer snow early NYE). This shorter duration 9.9" snowstorm with 0.88" water had MUCH worse road conditions...both times were bad, but last night roads were literally impassable as I kept getting stuck. I have to go to work but with no plow yet, to be honest I wouldnt be surprised if I cant get out of the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Lack of Snow reports from DTX means Snow Observers like myself must have lost there measurements after 11pm winds were nuts but I did 15" measured before that point. I can only assume 16-17" fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
