IWXwx Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 for the Chicago-Laf crowd: That must be a result of last night's run that they were discussing in the other thread. Let's see, early winter buckled flow = slower trough movement than models suggest at this time frame = northwest trend as system cuts harder = congrats wisconsinji.

michsnowfreak Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Looking like snow band will shift south later...we shall see. Few early morning shots today. My only gripe about all this wind? It leaves grass tips exposed in spots and there are leaves skipping across the snow from some who dont rake lol. Had 2.2" on 0.12" water yesterday, just a T so far today.

michsnowfreak Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Northeast lower Michigan only has a trace of snow on the ground. For their latitude they are perrenial screw holes it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Only had a trace today. Snow settled some more with wind, but average depth still rounds to 2". Those stuck in that band in the far northern burbs had as much as 7-8" in isolated spots fall over the last two days. The NWS at DTX was in the band, they picked up a 2-day total of 6.9", of which youd estimate a good 5.5" is pure LES. In contrast, at DTW airport, the total snowfall was 2.1", of which only 0.7" was LES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd estimate that we picked up about 2" of LES last night, with a snow depth around 3" (it was less than 1" by yesterday evening). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Looks like a period of sleet/snow Monday morning ahead of an approaching trough. Wet bulbing effects should should cause most of the column to fall below freezing, although a small warm wedge near 850mb might allow some sleet to mix in. While it won't amount to much, its nice to have some accumulating snow in this dismal pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 High of 35° today with some sun up until 1pm or so. Definitely a bit cooler than predicted today. Wintry mix tomorrow morning expected with up to an inch of snow and sleet from the city northward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'd be impressed with anything more than a half inch here tomorrow morning Turned out to be a dud here, the highly coveted 33F and rain right now. Best climo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Raining here in Grand Rapids, we must be right on the border. Yeah, it's very wet. Everything has a nice white covering on it. I have between 1 and 2 inches on the ground. Since it is so wet, it's not piling up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Euro has a band of DAB to an inch or two from Iowa into WI. Looks like a few tenths of rain followed by a half hour of light snow for northern IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Anything relevant brewing? Pretty much the below comments sum it up, so nothing unless you're in IA/M/WI/MI with the light event this weekend. Have to wait till early January to see if the next opportunity for something interesting pans out or not. Most of the sub forum will be predicting rain amounts. Euro has a band of DAB to an inch or two from Iowa into WI. Looks like a few tenths of rain followed by a half hour of light snow for northern IL.

Hoosier Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Euro is more bullish with southward extent than the GFS/NAM for Thu/Fri, but not like the GGEM. Chicago gets about .1 qpf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
