It's moving along from west to east, in-between the better returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 The stuff west of Clinton still has a decent easterly component. Should be the deciding factor if I get to 4" or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Legit +SN with best flake size of event now. Rates should be much better here for awhile. Not bad. May not be a 6"-er for you, unless it really goes rip city, but still a solid event. I think my 3-5" call will be good for LAF, but just barely getting into the lower range. Crappy returns all night...and flake size just never improved here enough to really get anything going. Still, looks like winter outside and that's good enough for me.

Hoosier Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Heavy dust falling now. Just shy of an inch on the board.

Probably going to be 400:1 ratios at LAF. Flake size is getting a bit better here recently. It is a beautiful snow though, coming straight down with no wind. Not bad.
