michsnowfreak Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Several stations in SEMI with peak gusts around 40mph DTW had 44mph. Blowing and drifting snow all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDude Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 For blowing snow. Really wish they didn't ditch blowing snow advisories a few years back. -BS BS +BS ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 looking upstream in MN. eastern IA, DBQ and Cycloneville look good for now. Will see if we get some better snows to build ENE before swinging in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great night to me. Enjoy. Going to be close down here on the east side. GFS shows a good 3-4 while others don't get the snow going until its a bit SE of here.

Hoosier Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 FWIW, almost every member of the 18z GEFS is deeper than the op with the surface low at 60 hours. That would probably have some affect as far as wind potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Gonna ride my call from yesterday and the day before for here. 1-2" tonight, and gonna bump the 1/2-1" to 1-2" for early Sunday. NAM/RGEM/GEM will come in too wet again. Euro/GFS blend of precip amounts much more realistic. The band of snow early Sunday could be intense, but it's gonna be hauling ass. The huge temp crash and potential snow squall action Sunday afternoon/eve continue to be the most interesting thing by far to me from this setup.

cyclone77 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Another thing to be watched is that thermal ridge Sunday. If the low tracks as far north as a few of the models show much of Iowa and even into northern IL could rise above freezing for awhile. That could really cut down on any blowing snow.

Geos Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I miss Skillings inflated RPM numbers.... He'll be back Monday. --- 2-4" in the grids here, but only ~1" in southern WI. Probably going to side with the lower end of things given past events. Some blowing and drifting here, but not that big of a deal due to the lack of loose snow around. Another thing to be watched is that thermal ridge Sunday. If the low tracks as far north as a few of the models show much of Iowa and even into northern IL could rise above freezing for awhile.

Been thinking about that possibility. But then there's the snow along the front which will be coming in as temps crash so would at least have some blowing then.

The 1/29/08 arctic front and blizzard conditions had temperatures in the 50s prior to fropa and the light snow followed by incredible winds. Unless it gets really mild, crashing temperatures tend to dry out a wetter top snow layer and make it more susceptible to blowing and drifting. So whatever falls earlier on Sunday plus along the front I think will certainly be capable of being blown around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 As far as N IL is concerned, it's not going to get much above freezing (i don't think it even gets above 30) but even if it does, it will be for an hour to two with no sun and the existing snowpack and surface temps are ice cold. Just don't see it being a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I don't even see it getting above 26/27 here. EURO gets it up to 34°-35° in Chicago. It would be enough to "weigh" the snow down, especially if the wind is driving it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Northeast IL would likely stay at or below freezing, but out this way points west and south will prob be a different story. It would depend on how long it stayed above freezing as well. Any snow that melts and refreezes into icy crust isn't going to go airborne. It would probably have to be several degrees above freezing for several hours since the ground is still very cold, but it's not out of the question especially over southeast Iowa.
