Chicago WX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 1" last hour and a wind gust of 43 mph at IND. METAR KIND 211054Z 02022G37KT 3/4SM R05L/5000VP6000FT -SN BLSN VV012 M09/M12 A2994 RMK AO2 PK WND 04037/1046 SLP147 SNINCR1/4 P0000 T10941122 $ Haven't the slightest clue how much fell here by looking outside. Mad drifting. LAF wind observations have died, so can't see how high we've been this morning either. Such a crappy site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 6" give or take...really needed a better stall to get crazy but another excellent event that gets us 1 step closer to a top 3 winter. Pretty good. If this keeps up...oh boy, winter for the ages. Getting ahead of myself probably. Weekend clippers look interesting. Might be some relatively high impact snow/wind combo deals.

blue60007 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm going to guess 2" here, judging by what fell in my gauge before the wind picked up. 1 to 2 foot drifts have cropped up around the house. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through midnight was able to get a pretty accurate measurement of 2.9", through 545" had to estimate about another 4" as the blowing/drifting was a lot worse and the amount on my "snowboard" aka the newspaper stand was very little. Looks like 6.9" for the loop with most of that pure lake effect. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 5.9" at ORD January total up to 29.7". Now the 4th snowiest January on record...with still time to go. Season total up to 44.8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Band going to town just west of GYY right now. Should move off to the east eventually...but I assume there's some big rates in parts of Lake County right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Band still hitting Lake County pretty hard. Looks like the best is still just to the west of GYY, but it's reporting mod snow and a wind gust to 40 mph.

Gilbertfly Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 didn't hit my 4.1 inches here, but came somewhat close....I would say somewhere around 2.5 to 3 inches looks to be my final tally. The wind was very impressive though...my driveway has that GHD look to it, where parts of the driveway are wiped clean...while others have some significant drifting on it. Largest drift I found around my house was about 18 inches....yet that included some of the leftover snow from previous events. Largest drift I found on previously cleaned surfaces was close to a foot. The seeder/enhancement unfolded as I thought it would as well as the getting grazed by the plume....didn't quite count on these winds being as excessive as they were though...which probably went quite a ways to shattering up any of the larger dendrites that would have tried to work their way down towards my local here away from the lake... Another memorable event in what is becoming one of the most memorable winters in my lifetime... Chilling cold now with the winds still fairly stout and still causing some blowing/drifting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Despite two hourly readings of 1"/hour snows this morning, IND comes in with a total of 1.1" through 7:00 AM. Pretty much the lowest around. Hmm...wind wiping snow off the board issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
