Kaner88 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Up to 1.9" just north of ORD. Real nice winter wonderland feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 We probably picked up a half inch in the first hour of snow (DTW had 0.05" precip last hour) and though no heavy snowfall will probably be seen the rest of the night, considering theres probably 14-15 more hours of snow (with perhaps a brief dry lull or two) I think another 3" snowfall is certainly on the table when this event is wrapped up.

Chicago WX Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 A little "did you know"... The last ice storm warning issued by the IND office was for GHD 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I thought you were down for 0.0-0.5"? Yeah I was. Big bust. I don't feel bad about it at all though since 15-20 miles north got nary a flake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers09 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 1/2 inch so far. Radar is filling in from the west so we'll see how that bodes for us in the detroit area. I'll say I end up around 3.0 when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 That was as of 6PM. Correct. And MDW had an hour head start. And also had something that ORD has yet to see.

vortex Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I wanted to get a few shots before it started to melt off here. Nothing too exciting, but the parking lot here is a little dicey. I do remember now why I despise winter 2008-09 so much. IMG_0667.JPG IMG_0669.JPG IMG_0668.JPG Ice sucks. My brother just drove back to Indy from here via 65. He said it wasn't too bad until he hit LAF. Passing lane had some icy patches. Dusting here is about all we got. Hoping the returns way southwest can hit us.

DaveNay Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 It's tracking well. DKB and points slight NE will be in line for some good rippageJust drove from sycamore to home and it was max 25 mph the whole way. Minimal wind but very heavy snow.My son spent the whole drive talking about the Millennium Falcon for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 That makes sense. Yes it does. That measurement came at about 5:45pm in order to get it in the ob that was then sent out and then calling into LOT. Relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi Def Radar app says snow is over the top of me, Weather Underground app says 5 miles south... No flakes here so Weather Underground wins the accuracy award! Check the scale bar (one may be picking up very light reflectivities like those < 10 dBZ while others are limiting it to significant returns) and also check the scan time. Since it's the same data, one shouldn't be any better than the other except in how the GUI presents the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner88 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 2.5" just north of ORD, about an inch in 40 minutes. Quieting down now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax I'm relaxed. Was just confused. All good.Had some flurries here before. Looking for some more later as the band comes through. Looking forward to seeing totals from that band though.

Back to all snow after another period of sleet here in CG. Looks like an inch on the ground so far with plenty more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
