Geos Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Big shield of rain is quickly approaching. Looks like most of the lightning is staying further south in Missouri for now. Hope to get some boomers late tonight. Actually looking forward to the sound of a downpour hitting the roof believe it or not. What's your snow depth now? I see on the NOHRSC snow data site, the Quad Cities metro really doesn't have much now. --- Incredible satellite shot there! My picture from earlier definitely supports that image.

I see on the NOHRSC snow data site, the Quad Cities metro really doesn't have much now. --- Incredible satellite shot there! My picture from earlier definitely supports that image. Probably around 6-7". The snow depths around here this season seem a little screwy. Very inconsistent for some reason. For example DVN is showing only 2". No way in hell that's what the snow depth is in reality. Maybe at their facility which is in the open, and probably has most of their snow blow away lol. This was from this morning...

harrisale Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Note: COD site has added 4km NAM and HRRR graphics, both with dProg/dt and 4km NAM with point-and-click forecast soundings, everything is awesome Just came to post this. So much win. Amazing image of the great lakes today: Superior ice over=no lake clouds? http://lance-modis.eosdis.nasa.gov/imagery/subsets/?subset=USA3.2014050.terra.1km Great shot there eh. Can really see where the deepest snowpack is located in regards to the potential flood issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Just heard my first thunder of 2014. Awesome. Congrats.

Eh, it's kind of hit and miss. Some years we may have multiple t-storms by now, other years it's not until sometime in March. After the winter we've had, it's kind of a shock to the system to have a t-storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the winter we've had, it's kind of a shock to the system to have a t-storm. Nowhere near as good as TSSN but there is something quirky about experiencing a thunderstorm with deep snowpack. Crossing my fingers for later on today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokomoWX Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Bare round popping up in fields/open areas and under protected areas such as trees. No significant ponding anywhere. Some thunderstorms rolled though this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Geos- NWS shows 16 inches... but it took a hit today with the heavy rain... Maybe lost a few inches... Right now we are sitting in 3rd place for coldest Feb... With next week shaping u pthe way it is...we have a good shot at holding that spot me thinks.

wxman1952 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Rain and 32° on my gauge, 35° at the airport. If our snowpack goes, I'd hope we'd then get spring weather. but that isn't going to happen. lol Hopefully we won't loose all our snow on the ground. It's likely we'll still have the majority of it. I heard we could be seeing the return of the Polar Vortex or parts of it by this time next week. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just heard my first thunder of 2014. Awesome. And we've had our third t-storm for the day. As much as I love winter, this has me pumped for spring. It's looking like I may have to awhile for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Todays 1.2" of snow puts me at 80.7" on the season. This ties 2004-05 for my most on record so next measurable snow cements this season into #1 (even though its been weeks since this winter has been cemented into my "best winter ever" spot). At DTW, 1.2" also fell, which puts them at 78.5" on the season. Now...according to my records/ncdc records, #2 snowiest winter on record is 78.0" in 1925-26, but the DTX top 20 list has 1925-26 listed at 78.9". Obviously this now makes it a toss up whether 78.5" is #2 or still #3....really in the end its just a cosmetic issue, as #2 is a lock and what the hell...#1 is in reach . I will update the Detroit records thread tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Made it to 58 earlier. Snowpack took a beating...a big beating...but a little survived in addition to the big piles. But temps are still above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Pretty cool spike in temp immediately following the line of storms late this afternoon. Thermal ridge passed through quickly and then temps started falling again. Grabbed this from my weather underground page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 snow pack remained largely intact (lost4"), albeit infused with some light rains yesterday. it will be a deep glacier pretty soon. 2-4" of high impact blowing snow for today/tonight but local school still gonna happen. looks cold and mostly dry coming up. After this deep freeze, I'm beginning to wonder if snow pack will last til late April. This pattern isn't going to simply stop with Gulf of AK so warm.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Awesome temperature fail here. Looks like we'll top out in the mid 30s. Was looking forward to a bit of warmth. Good news is that we dodged the main hurdle standing in the way of 2013-14 setting YYZ's consecutive days with snowcover record. 11 days to go.

Fail WE COULD STILL SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS MORNING...BUT IT WON/T ACCUMULATE TO ANY LEVEL THAT WOLD RESULT IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING. JUST NUISANCE STUFF.
