snowstormcanuck Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Yeah per radar, areas north of 401 will likely get another burst of heavy snowfall within the next hour or two before it transitions over to some mixing. I guess it'll depend if the layer of warmth can stay cold enough for a SN/PL mix to stay dominant rather than plain rain. How much your way? When do you think the temperatures will start falling? I had 4.2" when i measured about an hour ago. Maybe a tenth or two since. We're probably going to see temps spike around midnight then fall back after 3am.

michsnowfreak Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Wow! That's awesome!! Watching this one from the sidelines here in Connecticut. Back to Ann Arbor tomorrow hopefully. You should be in for a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm kinda spit balling here, but this storm will probably go down as one of the highest coverage (or area) of 10"+ amounts in the state of Indiana, in modern history. Probably joins the ranks of storms like Jan 1978 and Jan 1999, in that respect (10"+ total coverage, not necessarily impact or magnitude of high totals...those two were much different).

dmc76 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Can't wait! I've seen snow like that back home, but never the kind of cold that's being forecast. So what is your thoughts between EC winters vs MW winters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Biggest storm in Howell since the 1970's. The big dog streak is over. I'm getting friend reports of 17 inches. 20 inches looks like a probable total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The final snowfall total at ORD is 11.7" 8.7" of that fell today, which breaks the record snowfall total for the date of 6.2" (2005). The 11.7" from this storm and the 10.9" from the Dec 31-Jan 2nd storm makes it only the 4th time on record to have back-to-back 10"+ snowstorms. 10.9" - 12/31/2013-1/2/2014 11.7" - 1/4-5/2014 12.4" - 1/25-27/1978 10.3" - 2/6-7/1978 14.3" - 3/25-26/1970 10.7" - 4/1-2/1970 12.5" - 2/3-4/1896 12.0" - 2/12-13/1896 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTWeatherFan Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 So what is your thoughts between EC winters vs MW winters? The wind that came with the cold in AA made it harsher than my experiences back east. Also I noticed light snowfalls (1-2") are much more frequent in AA than back east.
