Chicago WX Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 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. Awesome. I'm heading up to IKK tomorrow morning. My parent's deep winter pack should look nice and refreshed. lol coming down a pretty decent clop here. Better returns are moving in too. I thought it was going to miss us to the north, when I looked at the radar earlier. Guess not. I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Can't remember seeing these kind of mid level lapse rates associated with snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 2.2" of feathers as the snow starts to wind down. Never experienced lake effect snow before, but this must be what it's like. Feels almost like fake snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanis Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Just in from x-country skiing with the dog for about 5 miles. About 1.8 inches new has fallen. Pretty solid rates right now: http://ustre.am/16Txc It's been more or less steady for the past few hours, but we didn't see the crazy rates that you folks down south did.

Hoosier Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Awesome. I'm heading up to IKK tomorrow morning. My parent's deep winter pack should look nice and refreshed.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 My total is 3.0". I certainly didn't expect to get that much, although the overperformance is completely due to the high ratio. I only got 0.11" of precip, which is what the models predicted. The last half inch of snow was so fluffy it melted down to only 1/200 of an inch. This was my highest-ratio snow of the season.
