blue60007 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It was a good rally though, from what I was expecting this morning. Looks like there's some filling in on ILX's radar at the moment, but not sure if it'll move north of us...or if it'll stay snow. Just measured - I think I'll hit 3" by the time the dry slot moves in. The latest HRRR is promising - brief break but it quickly fills back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Just measured - I think I'll hit 3" by the time the dry slot moves in. The latest HRRR is promising - brief break but it quickly fills back in. 3" sounds good before dry slot. And yeah, HRRR is a little more encouraging. Total snow globe right now. Very pretty.

WxMidwest Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I would consider changing counties further west into Blizzard warnings, as the winds dictate, and deformation band builds across Northern ILL after the dry slot lull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 7.2" as of 9:30 a.m. About an inch ahead of where I thought we'd be at this hour.

Hoosier Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Around 9" has fallen here in northern Lake county, but it's settling a bit. Trees are caked with snow though bits of it are falling off. Temp seems like it's hanging just a smidge above freezing where I'm at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I live on a tree lined boulevard on the South side of Kenosha. Old towering trees--and the sounds are amazing. Reminds me of GHD. Pics? That would cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL 1036 AM CST SUN FEB 1 2015 UPDATE 1031 AM CST WE HAVE INCREASED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS SOME THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND FAR NORTHWESTERN INDIANA. A VERY IMPRESSIVE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS THIS MORNING IN RESPONSE TO A STRONG PV ANOMALY OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. AS THIS STORM CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY THIS AFTERNOON...MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT A BAND OF STRONG FRONTOGENESIS WILL DEVELOP IN AN EMERGING DEFORMATION ZONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE 700 MB LOW...RIGHT ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THIS ALSO LOOKS TO OCCUR DURING THE PERIOD OF BEST STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL Q-VECTOR DIVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID/UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM. ALL IN ALL THIS POINTS TO STRONG DYANAMICS SUPPORTIVE OF PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW THROUGH THE DAY TODAY...AND LINGERING THIS EVENING. IT APPEARS THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS WILL EXCEED A FOOT IN MANY AREAS...WITH A FOOT AND A HALF NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THE OTHER CONCERN IS BLIZZARD CONDITIONS...WE ARE UPGRADING THE REST OF NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS TO A BLIZZARD WARNING. NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL ONLY INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTS POTENTIAL UP AROUND 40 KT AT TIMES GIVEN THE STRONG GRADIENT SETTING UP ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM. THIS HAS ME SERIOUSLY CONCERNED THAT AS THE SNOW CONTINUES TO BECOME MORE POWDERY THROUGH THE DAY...THAT WHITE OUT CONDITIONS WILL BE OBSERVED ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THE OTHER CONCERN IS FOR DOWNED TREE BRANCHES AND POWER LINES. THE SNOW THAT HAS FALLEN THUS FAR ACROSS THE AREA HAS BEEN A STICKY WET SNOW AND HAS PRODUCED SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS ON TREES AND POWER LINES. THE INCREASING WINDS COULD BRING DOWN POWER LINES...LEADING TO SOME ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Attempted to take a sounding. Not sure what happened, but the sonde hit the wall of the obs deck, causing the de-reeler to de-reel too fast. Long story short, our weather balloon is now dancing in the wind on top of the art & music building next door. I hope they don't see this as an act of aggression against them...
