Northern_IN_Wx Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Sleet! Gonna be tough to make it to 4 inches here. Still a fun dynamic little system to watch unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 A couple of shots from my usual spot. Nothing earth shattering, but it ripped pretty good for awhile. Bonus icicles pic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Guesstimating somewhere around 3-4" here. Mike from LOT just called and I wouldn't even settle a number since it's so hard with the drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Safe to say we landed somewhere in the 4-6" range. My measurement is shot, though, because of the rough winds. I'll just see what the reports from surrounding locations look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 GFS may have been right all along as far as QPF/snow amounts. Even my 3-5" call for Detroit may be a little too bullish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping not, considering there are chances over the weekend and next week, i would rather keep some of what we have and add to it, before moving on. The majority should be gone I'd think. We start an above freezing regime tomorrow, so should lose some each day before the big rains come later in the week. But, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 based on radar, it does appear that metro detroit is in for more of a 2-4" event as opposed to a 4-6" event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad call actually. Unless that narrow band produces 4"+ per hour rates TSSN or it pivots overhead (which it won't as the low hasn't even closed off yet), there's no way those amounts higher than 4" will be the norm.

Chicago Storm Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Was sitting at 4.8" as of an hour ago. Should make it over 5" with the remaining snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Another spotter in Erie called in 4.8", which is 0.8" more than me. Doesn't surprise me considering how showery the precip was, at least initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Dtx adjusted accums down accordingly, 2-4 for me now. Added heavy snow wording though and put out SWS mentioning near-zero visibilities possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Final gasp much heavier then I pictured. Guessing will make 6. Every call I make seems optimistic and turns out too light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
