Chicago WX Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hopefully, when the winds pick up tomorrow afternoon and evening and start blowing this powder around, we don't see a repeat of this scene from the LAF portion of I-65 from last winter. Nobody got killed or badly injured with this one, FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Back edge in SW Wisco is really drying up quickly. Losing some forcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Looking at the WV satellite view, the quasi clipper looks to be getting stretched in the upper levels as it rounds the bottom of the long wave trough. 850 winds are more WSW now. To my inexperienced eye the system seems to be beginning to shear out, with drier than forecast air moving in underneath. I'm probably wrong, but mby was forecast to be ripping quite a bit more by now than it is. I'll have to hit 1/in per hour rates until 12Z to hit warning levels.

cyclone77 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 This event ended up having some frustrating moments earlier on in the event, but can't complain it's been a fun one to track and is still a solid event. Always nice to lay down some fresh, dry snow cover before an arctic air mass moves in to make it more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Visibility dropping here again. Small flakes but impressively dense. Looks like even better returns moving in shortly.

cyclone77 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Can tell the system is winding down. These heavier returns on radar aren't yielding as impressive snowfall as earlier. Sort of getting that snow globe non-accumulating type snows now on the back end. The finer flakes in between the larger ones are mainly gone, and visibility is actually pretty good.

Lol, I just went from super fine dust to I can't see the stop sign 200 feet from my front door. Being only my second full winter, these things can be more frustrating than weak tropical storms. At least it will look like winter outside when I'm freezing my butt off tomorrow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we couldn't have done this a couple of hours ago, but better to have received than not at all. That's the thing with these relatively quick hitters...less room to make up ground if you get off to a slow start. That being said, we're probably closing in on 3" at this point (haven't gone out to check) so I think we can still surpass 4". Would like to see that band around Pontiac take more of a southward turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
