dmc76 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I am anxiously awaiting this to roll through. Sun is out right now here. Its ****ing sweet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 i've been on a bad streak of busting high lately, including yesterday. Time to get back to basics. You should do better than me if it makes you feel better. starting with zzzzz and working your way up from there has proven to be absolute gold for you this season... I busted with calls too high frequently this winter myself 2 to 4 seems a safe bet for this system imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ended up with 0.4" at ORD and 0.8" here with the wave yesterday/last night. glad to here my .4" was verified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 just looking at radar, it looks like the RAP is going to nail the lower amounts over far NE IL...probably gonna be under an inch. Over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Its ****ing sweet!! I like that it looks to be thickening up. It was just a thin little squall when it moved through the Saginaw area, now it's beefed up quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Its ****ing sweet!! I will say I am quite surprised...looking at this mornings coop table, almost all reports in the area range from 1-2.5" through 8am. Knowing some of the usual suspects (ie lazy coops) I was totally expecting to see ridiculous reports of either T or 6", depending where the snowboard was in relation to this ridiculous wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Nice bands in Indiana with the front right now. Locals will know what I'm talking about it...but the stretch on Creasy between the Pavilions and McCarty is a rough ride with the blowing snow. Last two evening's I've had near whiteout conditions driving it home...and this morning was no cup of tea either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 hi res nam loves LAF with the arctic front Looks awesome. Video will be available if that pans out. EDIT: gets even more intense, as it travels east, on the 42 hour map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow poke Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Massive Flakes with wideout conditions. This will drop over 1" easily. The front just passed here, lasted about 10 minutes. We picked up about a 1/2 inch in that 10 minunte span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ended up with 0.4" at ORD and 0.8" here with the wave yesterday/last night. Not too big a deal and I could be wrong but this could've been a third instance where a few tenths may have been missed there because I'm assuming the next measurement after 6z was not taken until 12z, even though you're supposed to measure whenever the accumulating snow officially stops and not wait for the full 6 hours. I think it also may have happened in mid January with a WAA band (only a trace reported) and with the 12/21-12/22 event (only a trace). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo6899 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Pretty sweet. Blue sky one min, next its pouring. Looked like a tstorm about to roll in with how dark the clouds were. Coolest part was as I was driving west on 59, you could see in the distance the pouring snow up in the clouds about 1/4 mile ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Downtown Detroit looks like it's gonna be right in the most intense segment of the squall line... At least based on radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 No complaints about the clipper. Looks like about 2" when all is said and done. Maybe a bit more if the snow along the arctic front doesn't get shredded by the SW winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mississaugasnow Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 No complaints here. Still some light snow falling, side roads covered, 6-10 inch drifts, and everything is a fresh white again. Hopefully that band can sustain itself until Toronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Gives us here in CMH some love at 45 hours! If it's right, it certainly gets stronger as it passes east of here. Hopefully you guys get it good. And on another note, brief shut down on I-65, just north of here this morning. Jack-knifed semi blocking the road...state police attend to it...and then another semi comes along and hits the cruiser. Thankfully, no injuries reported. But these a$$holes need to slow the hell down. It's getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolest part was as I was driving west on 59, you could see in the distance the pouring snow up in the clouds about 1/4 mile ahead. Yea it was like a wall of snow. Then in a minute it turned into blizzard. Really cool 30 min of snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a few tenths too low, but not enough for me to complain this time. Though when you add all of it up, it's several inches missing.

Chicago WX Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Nothing radical on the 12z GFS with tomorrow, so far through 27 hours...but it did trim the southern edge of the band a bit. Going down to the wire for here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I thought I was a few tents too low, but not enough for me to complain this time. Though when you add all of it up, it's several inches missing. Exactly what I was thinking, individually not a big deal, but then when it comes to chasing records, becomes more important. The missing snow on 1/1 looms larger too, though the head of the ORD observers mentioned to us when thoroughly checking snow depth after that event that he thinks that day may have only been lowballed by up to 1-1.5". He did say that the 6 hour amounts reported seemed low compared to the liquid amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
