cyclone77 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Nothing special, but thought the sun setting behind the departing clouds looked pretty cool a little while ago. Looked a lot better than this in person. Crappy cell pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Good bye to the pesky dry slot. Its filling in finally. See if we can get to 4" at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 5.9" at MLI. They've done pretty well there this season. Maybe Justin has some thoughts on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJSnowLover Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'll ride high and go with 4.8" at ORD. Not a 48+ hour prediction, but I almost nailed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 you might make a run at warning criteria....probably could have let the WWA ride as 3-5 will be the norm instead of upgrading but timing and impact was probably WSW worthy. Gonna bust by about 1.5", so not terrible for a 36+ hour call Actually ended up with exactly 6 inches...the last band gave about 3/4 of an inch....great pics from downtown BTW...congrats on the TSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelakeroy Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Well it doesn't look like TSSN is going to happen and the death band looks to be diminishing in intensity. What a let down given all of the upstream observations today and what the models progged. In our area I usually hate these convective type systems. Rarely do they work out. By the time they get this far north and east the radar is a mess and the TSSN is pretty much done. Yes they can happen as Josh got it good a few years ago but normally these systems do well west of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 We're not done yet! Another new (albeit weaker) band still has to rotate on through. Although actually I don't know if it will ever make it up here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 1.5 reported in FNT. Good indication on what was lost early this evening for the DET area. No, its a good indication of what was predicted to happen happening. 12z NAM had 0.12" qpf at FNT by 7pm and 0.00" at DTW by 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 All the models I looked at showed the dry slot pretty perfectly as it would turn out. So all hope isn't lost yet. These convective type scenarios can always lead to some high busts. If it snows like this for the next several hours, 5-6"+ is not hard to imagine.

donsutherland1 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Went from absolutely nothing to near whiteout in literally 2 minutes. 2013-14 should reach the 3rd snowiest winter on record by the time the snow stops falling. Moreover, there's still plenty of time left to climb higher up the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Looks like about 4-5". Waiting for it to quit before I measure. Traffic was light today, so the snow only tacked on 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 That is what I got before that dry slot from HELL moved in. I got nothing more then 1/4" and what we are 15 miles apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Got some light blowing snow for a second, now back to nothing. It's coming, bro.

Powerball Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It's snowing now. Certainly not the whiteouts observed upstream, but solid SN with 1/2 mile visibilities. Death band is all but gone (its last breath was over michsnowfreak/IthielZ), so I'm going to be "screw zone." DTX even said so in the Aviation update when they excluded DET from the poorest aviation conditions. Had better with the Arctic Front in January.

DTX even said so in the Aviation update when they excluded DET from the poorest aviation conditions. Had better with the Arctic Front in January. The rates now are actually better than with that death band. It had dry air to overcome, stuff keeps getting heavier as it goes on even if the radar doesn't necessarily reflect (no pun intended) on that trend. It's gonna be a fun night.
