Chicago WX Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Last night definitely over achieved my expectations too. Especially after the dissappointing front end snow. Hoosier and I have always said we do late rallies really well here in the LAF. Haha. Amazing winter. Over 10 inches and still snowing. Awesome. Congrats!

A-L-E-K Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 10.7" in Columbus. 8th snowiest winter so far. Maybe another inch with snow showers later today. nice, glad this one worked out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardMafia Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ended up with about 8" last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Few general observations about this storm. the models handled it very poorly here. The snow last night underperformed, and todays deformation snow is WAY overperforming. The lastest model runs are playing catch up, but too little too late. I had a feeling the deform snows would be our gold in this storm, but not like this. Also..the radar hasnt necessarily been matching up with our snowfall intensity either. Cant say enough about how epic this winter is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanis Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It's hard to tell, because there was a good amount of drifting last night/this morning, but the average of all of the measurements I took came out to about 6.4" here in Libertyville. It's a healthy dump of snow and for some reason took quite a bit more time to remove than many of the other events this winter. Who knows how much we have on the ground here, but it's got to be around or over two feet. Feels like northern Michigan. Here are some photos I took around my property this morning once I cleared the most recent snowfall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yeah, definitely. Love the snow, but man even I'm almost ready for some spring weather! It'll arrive some day, always does. Snow picking back up here right now, as we're getting into some of these leftovers. Amazing to think it's only February 5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 6.1" The county plows as much snow as they can into my culdesac and the piles are getting a little out of control lately. Last storm they made a 2 footer right at the end of my driveway. This time it's probably 3 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJSnowLover Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 NAM did pretty decent with this one, at least for this area. Showed 6" blob over here on either the 12z or 18z yesterday. Hasn't been too bad overall this winter season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Great photos Tuanis. I had 11" on the ground before this event. I'm guessing near 5" fell through 8am or so. Very cool tree in your yard! Ithielz - Great driving in the snow photos. I probably wouldn't chance taking picture during the commute - personally. I guess if your going 5mph, it's not very risky! haha LES dumping along the Racine lakefront right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeenerWx Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Deep deep winter. Great photos. Looks like a hellacious gutter/roof ice damn in the first pic. Massively OT, but did you catch pictures of the ice storm that impacted Slovenia a day or so ago? I'm wondering if Ryan is rooting for something of that magnitude to hit Laffy at some point in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Deep deep winter. Great photos. Looks like a hellacious gutter/roof ice damn in the first pic. Yup, that's some ice damming. Unfortunately, the furnace is in the attic so when we get temps in the 20s, we get meltage/refreezing on that section of the roof. Luckily, I haven't had any problems yet. We'll see what happens when (if? haha) we get a real-deal thaw.

Cant say enough about how epic this winter is. Agreed. Last night was disappointing somewhat but today is great! Over an hour ago you could see that the radar switched modes or something. It seemed to be ok before the switch but now it has not matched rates at all. Oh well who cares ... let it snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJSnowLover Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Conditions out here not too good. City plow drivers have been told to not lower blades all the way and not to use salt unless they see cars spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
