Baum Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 glistening Been a great ride. Pitchers and catchers report soon...will be interesting to see where we go next. Suspect not many 18:1 or 20:1 falls left in this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Awesome. I'm heading up to IKK tomorrow morning. My parent's deep winter pack should look nice and refreshed. I thought it was going to miss us to the north, when I looked at the radar earlier. Guess not. I'll take it. Safe travels up here, the roads are in bad shape. Snow depth is around 13" here. Think were are close to 45" on the year so far. This has been one of the better winters I can remember with the sustained cold and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been one of the better winters I can remember with the sustained cold and snow. Will do and thanks. Hopefully 24 and 45/52 (my IL routes that I take) are decent. Looks like more snow overnight/tomorrow morning too. And yes...one of the best winters in many a year, for a lot of us. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 4.3 inches...very light snow still falling ... looks like glitter falling in indirect lighting Radar returns via DVN leads me to believe that another 24+ hour event is likely now for MBY...started having some doubts....but flakes should remaining flying throughout the evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Quite impressive gradient south to north. Congrats. The overnight stuff should graze/miss MBY Thanks! That lunchtime burst was incredible down here...and the "incredible" rates lasted for a solid 25-30 minutes or so...that certainly helped. Not expecting much for overnight here as well...just hoping to keep flakes flying through morning to tally another 24-hr event... then again, these 30:1 ratio plates can stack pretty easily so who knows. Any kind of gusts over the next 48 hours are gonna send this 4 to 5 inches of fluff flying in hyper-drive...and most likely shatter the breadth of the fresh 5 inches down to an inch or so.... But yeah, as you said...chalk up another impressive event for LOT cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Earlier today when the snow started and the sun was out it looked like it was raining diamonds. That was pretty cool.Not sure how much has fallen tonight but it seems to be less than an inch. Makes everything all fresh and clean looking though.

Gilbertfly Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 update from Rick... NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL900 PM CST SAT FEB 8 2014.DISCUSSION...855 PM CSTEVENING UPDATE...ANOTHER STOUT MIDLEVEL WAVE/SPEED MAX EVIDENT ON W/V IMAGERYPUNCHING INTO NORTHWEST IA THIS EVENING HAS RESULTED IN A WEST-EAST BAND OF SNOW OUT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF IOWA. THE BESTFORCING FOR ASCENT WITH THIS WAVE WILL BE FOCUSED INTO THESOUTHERN CWA OVERNIGHT...SO GIVEN RADAR TRENDS...HAVE BUMPED UPPOPS TO CATEGORICAL SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATESPER SPC/RAP MESOANALYSIS ARE ALREADY FAIRLY STEEP AT AROUND 7C/KMAND VALUES OF AT LEAST 6.5 WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AS THE BETTERFORCING ARRIVES. THIS WILL SUPPORT MODERATE TO POSSIBLY EVENBRIEFLY HEAVY SNOW RATES UNDER HEART OF THE SNOW BAND. THINKINGTHAT RATIOS MAY NOT BE QUITE AS HIGH AS EARLIER TODAY BUT STILLAPPROACHING 20:1...WHICH WITH ROUGHLY 0.05 TO 0.15 QPF INDICATEDSOUTH OF I-80...IS EXPECTED TO A QUICK 1 TO 3 INCHES OFACCUMULATION BY EARLY SUNDAY. SUSPECT THAT THERE MAY BE SOMENORTHWARD EXPANSION OF THE SNOW AS BROAD FORCING FOR ASCENT ON THENORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SHORTWAVE ARRIVES...BUT WOULDNT EXPECTMORE THAN A DUSTING TO MAYBE UP TO A HALF INCH A BIT NORTH OF THEINTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR. HAVE SENT OUT AN SPS TO COVER ASSOCIATEDHAZARDS WITH ACCUMULATING SNOW OVERNIGHT FOR AFFECTED AREAS.OUTSIDE OF THE ACCUMULATING SNOW...SOME CLEARING IN THE CLOUDS ANDLIGHT TO CALM WINDS DID ENABLE OUTLYING AREAS TO SEE A QUICK DROPOFF IN TEMPERATURES AND FREEZING FOG FORMATION AT SITES SUCH ASRPJ.

michsnowfreak Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 We picked up 0.8" from this evenings round of snow, after that 0.2" burst in the morning, so 1" of fluff Saturday, and we should see a solid inch again tomorrow morning. All in all about what was expected, a beautiful sparkly refresher to a very deep winter snowpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all about what was expected, a beautiful sparkly refresher to a very deep winter snowpack DTW picked up an inch yesterday too, "inching" closer and closer to a rare 70"+ year with lots of winter left to go.
