Hoosier Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL 759 PM CST SUN JAN 26 2014 UPDATE ISSUED AT 756 PM CST SUN JAN 26 2014 THE SNOW SHOWERS ALONG THE ARCTIC FRONT WERE ALL IT TOOK. WE HAD LITTLE SNOW AVAILABLE TO BLOW IN THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE CWA UNTIL 5 PM...WHEN WE RECEIVED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1/2 INCH AND 1.5 INCHES OF POWDERY SNOW. THAT HAS COMBINED WITH WINDS THAT ARE ABOUT 10 MPH HIGHER THAN FORECAST TO PRODUCE A BLIZZARD THAT IS NOW TAKING PLACE IN OUR NORTHEAST 1/2. IT IS CONSISTENTLY BAD HERE AT OUR OFFICE...REPRESENTING RURAL CONDITIONS WELL. WE HAVE WINDS HITTING 58 MPH...SUSTAINED AT 40 MPH AT TIMES. VISIBILITIES VARY BETWEEN 1/2 MILE AND TRUE ZERO IN THIS BLOWING SNOW BLIZZARD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Looks like one last band of intense snow just north of my location that could briefly cause intense blizzard like conditions. Maybe the airport can eke out 4" of snow today? They only need 3.7" to hit 40 for the year. I measured just over 4" at the dog park parking lot which in on airport property with planes taking off just above your coconut and that was 2 hrs after the snow ended. I knew they would come in low but i just had to measure there to make certain and of course they came in with only 3.3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Pretty nasty now, especially during the gusts. Yet I've seen about 5 cars go by since this started! Looks like about 0.9" of snow fell. - measured before the winds kicked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Didn't think we had a shot of getting stuff with the Arctic front, I guess I was wrong, it looks to hit our area right as I head to work. Maybe I'll get to see a snow plow this time, since I didn't yesterday morning or this morning Luckily I work from home but I'd imagine people that have to drive to work in the mornings are getting really frustrated with this winter and the poor road conditions.

michsnowfreak Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 my bad i only seen the 4:35 showing 8" Gained 20% in snow pack and nice to be in the dd's again. and its nice to have a glacier pack now and with no warm air in sight the pack will only keep growing and the way se michigan does feb's the pack could become real impressive for se mi standards. How cool would a big cold march be again this yr like last! Yeah they always put the 7am depth on the clim report since that was goes into the f6. But as we all have mentioned from here..its the most uneven depth ever lol. And if upstream reports are an indication, more wind is on the way tonight. We have had multiple snowstorms and multiple wind assaults all month, you literally will find a different depth every few inches you stick the ruler/yardstick.
