snowstormcanuck Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 And more then enough time for a few more small shifts to the north. Surprise snowfall may be the name of the game in Feb 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Man, if the RGEM is right, you could argue 4" here between both waves Yeah that's an interesting run to be sure. Drops close to 0.30" precip near the QC, which would easily fluff up to 4-5". Sticking with my 1.5" call from earlier, but could bust if wetter runs like the GFS and RGEM end up winning out.

Hoosier Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 The 0z NAM has like 42 hours of light snow that adds up to 0.21" LE for LAF. Woo! Though the second half of that is most likely dumb NAM fantasy snow. But, mood flakes will be enjoyed. Model handling of these waves has been less than stellar so you never know. Why I've been hesitant to make a call lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 1-2" looks good for here, maybe someone gets 2.5". A couple of pennies to add to the till. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why I've been hesitant to make a call lol And the 6z runs take the Sunday "best" to our north. Rock solid models as usual. Some snow here this morning covering everything up, which is nice. I was getting tired of the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 My earlier sneaky central Indiana Sunday snow has now turned into a sneaky northern Indiana snow. Also note how the Wyandotte snow magnet is trying to do its dirty work. FWIW, and it's a big FWIW...here's the 6z NMM 48 hour total QPF (includes today's snow as well). We'll see, as we know the drill with hi-res models sometimes...but it has trended stronger with tomorrow's snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 some nice fat dendrites falling very lightly this morning. A pocket of heavier returns forming in Will County around JOT. Stat padder at its finest today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I laughed when I saw the 06z models trending closer to here and more moist. I mean it is a weekend after all, so it has to snow with some sort of appreciable measurement.

Chicago WX Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 12z NAM tickles and teases LAF with the relatively narrow band of snow for tomorrow morning. Reaallly would like to get in on some of that, to help in the chase for the big dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The snow this morning is very fluffy. I be the ratio is double what we got a few days ago. I think we are approaching an inch and there are heavier returns approaching from the west. A guy to my nw says this may be the heaviest snow he's seen this season. I could easily see 2" out of this if it holds together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I'm going with a heavy 2", but light to push. Everything I own is in need of some repair. Looking forward to the brief pause in the action to change oil, repair broken welds and give everything the once over. Plowing in these cold temps is brutal on the plows, cracks and breakage is the name of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 --SN is falling here. Sometime earlier it snowed harder and left 0.3". Someone might get something good in that band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This system is brief, but I had the heaviest snow of the season for 15-30 minutes. It poured large dendrites. The snow rate was at least 2"/hr. I ended up with 2.6" of snow from only 0.11" of precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 "Best" band of snow tomorrow looks solid for vortex-Keener-IWXwx. Swing and a whiff for LAF, it looks like...from the consensus of the 12z runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Medium confidence call of 2-4" at this point. Will re-visit for final prediction later. Solid call in hindsight, but we'll probably be on the lower end of that scale. Final call is 1-3" for DTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 "Best" band of snow tomorrow looks solid for vortex-Keener-IWXwx. Swing and a whiff for LAF, it looks like...from the consensus of the 12z runs. I'm liking ~2" when it's all said and done. You look solid for at least 1-2" as well. The best-best-best (~3") will probably fall between us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
