Chicago WX Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 You know anyone in southern Benton county? We're trying to get some reports from that area. Based off radar would think it's coming down pretty good there. Sent from my SCH-I535 Nope, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Was wondering if the nice looking band just to the north of LAF is producing anything...and apparently it is, as GGP (Logansport) is now reporting light snow. Skies to the north of here look dark...almost like spring with t'storms. Boring old partly sunny here. So close, so far away... Well the HRRR model 'Lightning 2' hints that lightning is possible but not likely ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Nope, sorry. Check that. As luck would have it, I just had a few guys stop in here where I work...and say they had silver dollar sized flakes when they left for LAF. They're from Oxford, in Benton county. Well the HRRR model 'Lightning 2' hints that lightning is possible but not likely ... Funny you say that...as I think I'm one of only three people on here that hasn't had TSSN this winter. Well, looks like a 7-10 split for here, looking at radar. Band to the north will stay there...and stuff developing in central IL looks to miss south. Our luck has run out.

IWXwx Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I was speaking with an IWX met on the phone earlier about another matter and she was confident that the weenie band would set up along the US 24 corridor. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that's good to know, thanks for the follow-up. We were thinking with 30+ dBZ it had to be producing. Slightly lighter returns near Paxton in southern Ford County IL were producing nothing according to one of our Facebook fans.

I knew those guys were from Oxford, so I had to ask them about it. And sure enough... It's started to precipitate here, but just plain old rain. Yuck. Better yet, 33 and rain. That's the LAF we all love.........to hate.

Chicago WX Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Logansport over to rain now, after starting as snow. FWA over to -ZR. Champaign temp rising as it continues to rain there. Well that all doesn't bode well for any snow prospects here. Time to punt. A great phenomenal winter, but LAF limping to the finish line. Long overdue I suppose...

IWXwx Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Started as snow here around 5ish, then transitioned to a mix, now just rain. Predicted to go over to snow after 8 PM, but it might be too late for any good accumulations. A too cold predicted temp this winter? Unheard of.

My temp has gone up since the rain started. Low levels be scorching. I think we have a good chance here, of not seeing a single flake of snow.

FWA only needs a tenth of an inch of snow to reach that magical 60" mark and you've got a 3" lead on me. This might be my chance to gain some ground.

And yeah, we aren't see any snow with this one...so time for you to make up some ground. This one does suck though, as I thought we had a shot at 2"...which would have got us to 20" for the month. Not meant to be though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60007 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Just came off of I65 about 20 to 30 minute ago. Was just rain... but looked like trying to spit a few flakes. Sitting at 32.4 at my place. EDIT: should have looked out the window before posting. Currently light snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Coming down at a good clip here. Decently solid covering on grass. West side wins this round. Finally switched over here about 15-20 minutes ago. Basically just high-end mood flakes. At least I can put another T in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokomoWX Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Just got back to Kokomo I from Rochester. Snowed this afternoon in Rochester and snowed on the way home tonight from regional basketball. However the only place it was sticking were existing snow on the ground. Air temps were 32 or 33 all the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Tim's uber pessimism rocks. It usually starts snowing pretty soon after he says it won't. I know how to play the game. Whole thing was iffy to begin with of course. Have a car topper/grass duster here, so that's better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 lol was looking at obs on COD and saw that LAF had a temp of 31 with a dewpoint of 32. I think the dewpoint gets reported as 32 when there's no dewpoint ob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
