A-L-E-K Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 nice pics, when the lake has a couple hundred yards of near shore ice, it's like being out in a country field, just nothing to stop the NE winds from blowing it all onto the shoreline.

Geos Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Epic ice pictures. I hope the sun comes out and helps melt some of that. Otherwise your car could be frozen solid for awhile. Picture looking into the LES band in Racine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Although it was way too juiced, looks like the 12z NAM turned out to be surprisingly spot on with a secondary jackpot band being further north from about ORD-DTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Just before 7am... Quote FOR DTW... A BURST OF SNOW BETWEEN 12Z AND 15Z WILL PRODUCE ANADDITIONAL 1-2 INCHES OF ACCUMULATION BEFORE DIMINISHING FOR TOTALACCUMULATION OF 3 TO 5 INCHES FROM LAST EVENING THROUGH NOON TODAY.GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING. This burst of snow has easily produced 3-5" alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 NWS Detroit/Pontiac in White Lake has a snow depth of over 20" now. At 7AM, DTW's was 14". I gotta think with the bands they've been under since then they have to be pushing 17, 18 or more inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I-65, to the north of LAF, closed due to an accident. Shocker. http://wlfi.com/2014/02/05/crash-closes-i-65-in-white-county/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Normally this is the point where I'd chastise DTX for not going for a WSW, but I gotta admit...when I went to bed last night about midnight I legitimately was wondering if 3-5" might even be too high from how anemic the radar was looking to our south.I wanna say this probably caught everyone off guard, but the way this winter has been it seems like most people are expecting the worst...or best in us snow lovers' case.

It's unbelievable how awful people are on that road, in wintery conditions. I've lost track how many times I-65 has been shut down this winter.

Yeah, they've closed more times this year than in the past decade. THough, only if you count the two in the early January storm before classes were in session.

They shut down one day in my four years at Purdue...and that was for the Jan 1994 arctic outbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
