nwohweather Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Snow and wind combined with the lack of snow cleanup. Saturday morning was a great example of what light snow and wind brings. I think it is going to be a complete mess yet again. Yeah it's a shame too because 96 just this evening became good to drive on again. It's gonna be pure crap after this system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 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. Thanks for that climo report education I can't stand wind and uneven snow and we do that with most snows here.. That's why I'm not a powder fan.. If i could choose lol.. Give me paste jobs all day over powder... Plus i like the staying power of wetter snows over useless fluff crap unless you're in a snowbelt then you can buid up a nice pack 2'+with 150" of it.

Hoosier Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 All Torching still. Based on upstream obs, the crash is about to commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60007 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Nothing here right now. Winds are average, but it's cool that it hits you first though. LAF up to 40º at 9:54pm. Definitely. Solid 7 degree drop in the last 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Based on upstream obs, the crash is about to commence. A few stray flakes here, but radar returns are diminishing to our west. Probably won't be much snow at all, but winds are going to crank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to complain about anything in this winter, but I am SO done with wind. 11 days already this month with wind gusts in the 30s-40s mph. In addition to making the snow uneven it cuts into the depth because its compressing and packing would be powder into dense drifts.

BowMeHunter Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Western end will dissipate before reaching here. Can't beat the 18z NAM/RAP combo. Wagons north. Looks golden right now. Best radar returns will effect S WI and N IL...and miss us well to the north. Actually, with this warmth (up to 42.5º here)...wouldn't be surprised with just rain, if we get anything. Very disappointing. looks like you're going to take game two of the double header with hoosier wish the wind would shat or get off the pot so i can snuggle up in bed.. keeps teasing with a few light gust and then nothing much.. At least i know if i ever just give up on it for now I'll at least get a tease in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torch and little snow with the front. 18z NAM/RAP nailed it, unfortunately. Of course, they both sucked donkey balls with this morning's snow here. .500 hitters I guess.

huronicane Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Might have been a transformer? I noticed some power outages starting to pop up. Think that happened here too when the snow first started. Bright blue flash when I was walking the dog, and all the street lights went out. All of the house lights stayed on. Was really eerie.
