A-L-E-K Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 actually looks south with heaviest qpf....which was more expected than Tim's north expectation. quickly trending towards a 1-2 event for MBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 but the screw hole was well modeled and expected. There really wasn't a "screw hole" around here, as much of IL/IA/WI didn't end up with much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I went out to shovel a bit ago and there was 6" on the sidewalk leading from my steps to the main sidewalk out by the street, and there was literally nothing on most of the main sidewalk.

Yup. Crazy. Arctic front looks sick on radar...hope it holds as the main snow has now exited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Crazy out there, some 5 foot drifts on the roads....and now our windows are getting a thin coating of ice....not cool It's pretty intense. Really, bordering on a little dangerous in the rural areas I'm sure. actually looks south with heaviest qpf....which was more expected than Tim's north expectation. quickly trending towards a 1-2 event for MBY Sorry, looked a bit north initially...which I think it is overall...but you are right, that the heaviest band is a bit south in the end. LAF runs a tough southern edge for any snow, verbatim. Gonna go down to the wire apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Red dot is approximately where LAF is...on the 12z NAM clown map. Not much wiggle room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeenerWx Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Actually looks like we may have gotten north of an inch. I'm not sure what to think about the second punch, but I'll take whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're sitting pretty right now. I think I'd go with the same call for you as I did for Alek. 2-4", with some potential upside. I may have missed on my red dot location on the above map, as NAM text has only 0.18" liquid equiv for LAF. So, probably more like 1-2", possibly 3" if things go favorably. At least we're still in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 lol, I was just kidding around. I think you're low balling for yourself though. But, we'll see. i know, no need to split hairs over an inch. Obv the NAM is more than 1-2 here...just a hunch on future south trends with the best waa snows.

Stebo Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Roads are an absolute nightmare in the Metro Detroit area, several freeways are closed and I passed 3 jack knifed semis just on my drive home. I know it is the weekend and budgets are tight but there is no excuse for seeing no snow plows/salt trucks out there this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Roads are an absolute nightmare in the Metro Detroit area, several freeways are closed and I passed 3 jack knifed semis just on my drive home. I know it is the weekend and budgets are tight but there is no excuse for seeing no snow plows/salt trucks out there this morning. I can only imagine with the drifting. Im calling depth 7-8" but honest to god, the corner house in a big wind tunnel has literally only like 1-2" of snow on their lawn and some other houses (incl my front yard) have well over a foot. Its just crazy, Ive never seen it like this. the only explanation I can think of is we have had so many different snowfalls followed by just ridiculous winds, that the drifted spots keep getting driftier, the snow drifts are their own snow fences. I noticed DTW clocked a 49mph gust yesterday. Open fields are to the point where they will just never be covered at more than 1-2" in their center with just gargantuan drifts at the end near the fence or whatever. Thats supposed to happen in the country, not suburban/urban areas (yes, even plenty of interesting drifts in downtown Detroit when I was there Thursday, and that was BEFORE this latest wind assault).
