Hoosier Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Really coming down here. Band is crawling on radar. That band looks great. Can also see some of the bright banding starting to fade as the air aloft is cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n1vek Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Sign me up. Tons of wiggle room there and with favorable ratios, could be a great event. And God I love that Chicago cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Started snowing once I got to within 3 miles of my house. Cutoff temperature looks to be 33 degrees, once I hit that it started snowing. Also starting to stick on the ground here at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n1vek Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Started snowing once I got to within 3 miles of my house. Cutoff temperature looks to be 33 degrees, once I hit that it started snowing. Also starting to stick on the ground here at home. Very pleased the changeover happened already given how warm it was today. Short range hi-res, surface obs, and upstream all say it's go time.

mimillman Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 SN+ continues. All surfaces covered. Glad to FINALLY be in one of these bands for a storm this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Quarters here Here too. Nice aggregates. Amongst the heaviest snow I've seen this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwburbschaser Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's gonna be like a different world for anyone commuting to the city from the far nw burbs. Yea it was drizzling a little before, but not much going on here. I was looking forward to maybe getting to catch the northern fringe of the heavier band like Tsnow is getting, and that just goes to show how sharp the cutoff is with this one because nothing to heavy snow is only a matter of a dozen or so miles.

Hoosier Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Pretty obvious that the NAM/hi-res stuff has a better handle on what's going on with the banding in northern IL including Chicagoland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
