Geos Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Heart of the band about a mile or two east of me right now. Thinking this is just about as far as she'll get. LOT was right on the money emphasizing SE Lake County. Yeah that might be about it. 1.8" here as of 11pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc294 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 doesn't get much better than this for Chicago...second time this winter Straight up fire hose of snow.

cyclone77 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 2.2" the final total here. Still some very light snow, but it's pretty much over. Fun event. Some interesting bands of snow on the DVN radar over east-central Iowa. Very narrow, yet intense bands of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm on the southern tip of the offshoots of the plume...the flake size isn't that huge but that's most likely because the winds have been ripping down here...just measured a 9 inch drift in spot that was cleared this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 LES band is pushing back east of ORD. It didn't stall out as long as I thought it would around there. RAP has been hinting at it oscillating a touch back west before it's main progression east into southern cook and Indiana.... per enhancement south and east of the plume and direct plume orientation north of the border I could see it maybe doing a quick jog west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimillman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Synoptic snows are done here. Not even flurries in the sky. I'd say it's between 2-3 inches. Now on to the lake effect...should be an hour or two before it makes its way over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hoping for more pictures in the chicago band! Wow...what a winter. When the going is good... expected absolutely nothing but it snowed beautifully from about 6-11pm (with flurries an hour either side). Picked up a completely unforecast 1.5" of snow, despite every single model keeping all the snow south of us. Huge dendrites, very fluffy (nearly 40-1 ratios). DTW picked up 1.4", and I dont doubt there will be 2"+ reports near Ann Arbor. Love how this fresh snow gave the snow, particularly the snowbanks, a velvetty look. NICE pile lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
