Geos Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Flake size went up a couple notches, but still under 1/4" I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORD passed 1966-67 already today into 4th snowiest season overall (July 1-June 30). Next up in 3rd place is 1969-70 with 77". Interesting thing about 1969-70 is that there were only 48.5" heading into spring. March had 17.8" and April had 10.7". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hawks-Penguins at Soldier Field tonight, at 7:00 CT/8:00 ET (NBC). For those that want to watch the snow...and hockey of course. NHL Network has some pre-game stuff on right now...and flake size looks decent on the Lakefront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the colder readings tonight would make a difference, but not really. Might have to do with that warmer layer shown on the forecast soundings at around 800 mb. If we had these surface temps and a more favorable profile/deeper dgz may have had at least 15:1 ratios. When I left the office after 4, there was almost a mix of icy grauple and small snowflakes.

Not to get too far off topic but will they have to plow the ice if it accumulates a lot during the game? Kind of like run a snow plow over the ice then the Zamboni?

cyclone77 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Back edge of the snow looks pretty progressive. Figure another 2-3hrs of snow left here. It's been mostly light so far, with a few very brief periods of low end moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Back edge approaching Rockford, so I probably have till 9 pm and then it shuts off. Still a lot of pixie dust flakes. --- Detroit break 80" yet!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
