Thundersnow12 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 returns blossoming nicely over chicagoland, this is about as good as nickel and dime events gets. 12z RAP nailed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Awesome picture through the window Baum. Snowing is coming straight down today. Looks like it did well. Southern Cook County getting smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 12z RAP nailed it I thought LOT did a nice job in multiple AFDs explaining why this should be a decent albeit brief event despite model qpf often under .10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 NAM was obv too far north for quite a few runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 One last little burst here probably has it up near 2". The second wave tonight looks to sort of glance this area. It's possible we could get another inch out of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 'Grats on the snow to those up north. Had about 0.5" with the morning snows here, but just a few strays since then. But any snow is welcome snow. Decent looking band out west near BMI, but that looks to miss here to the north. And the next wave looks like a miss too, so we won't be tacking any additional in the LAF. Still liking IKK-DeMotte-FWA for that fun tomorrow morning.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Vortex, that looks pretty awesome. I got a 2"/hr rate this morning and it was only a medium-green pocket on radar. You just got a dark green band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just got a dark green band. I'd say 2" came down in 45 minutes. Unreal. Too bad it didn't last a few hours. Last pic as it was starting to let up.
