Powerball Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 not that it matters to me, but it would have kinda been cool if somewhere right in Chicago was the jackpot, since a great band is more rare there than NW IN. 7-9" of (almost) pure lake effect snow is still quite impressive for Chicago, given how rare it is to get those type of organized bands to blow west off Lake Michigan for so long.

Powerball Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 yep one of the more impressive wind/snow combos we've seen in the region...definitely more intense than anything i've experienced. Even GHD 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 ^Still little info from Gary. Someone north of 80/94 may have had more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Forgot to say I ended up with 1.2" yesterday and last night. Season total to 34.1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I expect almost the entire area in purple to get 8+. It's possible those kind of amounts extend outside of that zone, especially farther east, but just don't have enough confidence yet. The area in lighter purple is the zone I'm particularly interested in for a potential jackpot but it's really going to be a nowcast thing. This map turned out to not be very good. Band was more focused and less transitory than I thought. One bright spot is that the jackpot occurred within the area I thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 couple of 24" reports out of Griffith seem to be the highest totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 couple of 24" reports out of Griffith seem to be the highest totals Unfortunately there's no COOP or CoCoRaHS observers in the hardest hit areas, so we can't even make a good map.

Bummer, I was looking forward to seeing how those redic gradients looked like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Limited number of reports made this a big challenge but here's my best guess on totals in Lake county IN from yesterday based on the available reports and radar. These gradients are certainly not perfect but it gives a general idea of what happened. The contours are 8", 12", 16", 20". I didn't draw a 24" contour though some areas within the 20" area did get 2 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
