Chitown Storm Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 managed to hit the low end of LOT's forecasted range. I have 5.5" here. Still light snow, fat flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 The storm was a definite underperformer over here, as just about everything has been since xmas. I ended up with a lousy 1.7" from 0.18" of precip. The ratio around here was pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 it's been all snow the entire time here. been holding steady at 28 degrees for a while now Is this yellow area some sort of sleet area? Just wondering. this looks intense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Before the changeover, I'd estimate we picked up about 4-5" here. It was very intense snowfall. Didn't even bother to take a measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Current look at the Detroit area. Not very accurate (shows that I'm getting heavy snow). Still mostly rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Not very accurate (shows that I'm getting heavy snow). Still mostly rain here. Yeah it uses the RAP as guidance for p-type. Usually okay, but the surface obs tell the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Its slushy and puddly outside now as the rain continues to fall...waiting to freeze this stuff up! It will be interesting to see how much the new snow compacted from the rain. We lost a little bit in depth but gained even more density. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Funny thing is, I bet it was something stupid like 875mb temps of 0.5*C that caused this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettman320 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Here's a more accurate depiction. As you can see I am JUST north of the line and its all snow right now. It's been real slow to work its way through Ann Arbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I know, it's soooooo close to here I can almost touch it. As sloppy as it is today, not too bad for your first Michigan winter huh?

michsnowfreak Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 All the snow is dripping off the trees. Tired of hearing drips and plops. The shoveled sidewalks are puddles, the unshoveled sidewalks are slush (and those homeowners will be sorry when they are scraping tomorrow), and the snowpack is a sponge.

chances14 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Great! Found the lil area where it didn't mix. Further west always seems to stay out of mixing issues. How much you have up there? i would say close to 5". it's been all snow but the precip rates haven't been that impressive outside that one band that moved through a couple hours ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I know, 31F yesterday felt like t-shirt wx! Had 4.7" before the changeover, so no complaints from me. Best banding set up from ARB to DET (my area) with the 30-35 DBZ returns, so it's no surprise that's where the 4-5" amounts are being found. It was one of those times where the snow just steadily picked up in intensity from the start. Probably will somehow tack on another 1-3" this evening.

BowMeHunter Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Normally when SE MI is flipping to rain chicago and up to MKE would have been ripping out a text book run of the mill 6-10" event instead we end up with another stat padding 2-4" event. One of the best winters in a while for cold, snow cover, and DAB+ events but its missing a few pieces for this to be a winter to remember west of lake mi on the good side of the border and back to iowa. Congrats though to MI and the beat looks to carry at least through mid febuary and we all know there is still a ways to go after that for a big dog.. Hell just give us one legit warning event.

But for many areas, the only thing missing to make this winter flawless is the southern stream big dog (I.E. 1967, 1978, 1999, March 2008, GHD 2011, etc.). All the southern stream systems this winter have been crap, as the moisture with them fail to wrap back to the cold sector (as the shortwaves are either too weak to close off or get sheared apart too quickly). But that's something for the complaint thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Seems IND likes some changeover fun for tonight. We'll see.

A LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATION AS WELL. LOWS AROUND 19.NORTHWEST WINDS AROUND 10 MPH. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION NEAR 100PERCENT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be really surprised if we beat Chicago with this system, although of course ours was snow to rain to snow, theirs all snow. Working on 2.5-3" water content in our snowpack here...thats up north stuff. Im going to do a core sample tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
