Kaner88 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 9" on the ground here, about 15 minutes north of ORD. Roads are horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Amazing storm so far. Sitting in the office watching it unfold... Unreal. Shot from my "office".. not the best, because of the screen in the window... This is looking north toward the train station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Meteorological Perfection. Also gravity wave noted on LOT and TMDW/TORD over Will and Cook counties right now. This is absolutely incredible. Wonder if we have a legit shot at t-snow now. Soundings suggest lapse rates are over 7K/km above 500 mb. Beautiful shot right there. This one is gonna go down as one of my favorite snowstorms to be sure. Amounts will end up very impressive, and the longevity of it, combined with hardly any lulls makes this one a fantastic storm.

We had that mid level dry slot come in and the PV came east, heights tanked and you had convection fill in the dry slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I really doubt DTX goes full panic mode and issues a blizzard warning, especially since the last two times they did, it didn't quite pan out, but regardless it will be nasty this evening and all signs point to a top-tier snowstorm for the area. I don't understand that logic. This has nothing to do with past storms. If the criteria fits they need to issue one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Any possible places that hit 20"? For the LOT CWA... Ask me that yesterday I would say no. Now I'd say there's a 50/50 shot...Not only near the lake, but in that I-80/I-88 corridor, which now has 12"+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hey Tim, that stuff in IL looks to be making a beeline for LAF. Should be a nice burst again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Have had a good round of sleet recently here ne of Indpls with pellets bouncing off the sidewalk and vehicle tops. Supposed to turn to rain after 2 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 3.1" for a storm total. That should do it other than some scraps later tonight. So not a total disaster. Temp going up now as the snow has ended. 35˚ and rising...snow already melting off my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelakeroy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Latest WSW update said gusts to 30MPH and 1"/hr rates later in afternoon. That is tantalizingly close to blizzard criteria. Depending on how next few hours unfold, I don't think it's out of the question for an upgrade for the southern 2 or 3 tiers, but they play it pretty conservatively. I really doubt DTX goes full panic mode and issues a blizzard warning, especially since the last two times they did, it didn't quite pan out, but regardless it will be nasty this evening and all signs point to a top-tier snowstorm for the area. I don't understand that logic. This has nothing to do with past storms. If the criteria fits they need to issue one. That is my problem with DTX at time as DMC says. But even GRR hasn't pulled the trigger so I doubt DTX will if they don't!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Also of note, the 12z NMM core (so the WRF-NMM, and 4 km NAM, which are very close to the same thing if not exactly, right?) are more bullish again with lake-effect chances. Still brings a nice band through about 15-18z and simulated reflectivites are stronger than they've been as well. Even the WRF-ARW has a pretty good signal.

geddyweather Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Looking like a bust for me. Had 2" this morning before warm air and mixing became a problem. Hopefully this mega band over central IN pushes this way without much trouble, as that is our last shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainman Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I don't understand that logic. This has nothing to do with past storms. If the criteria fits they need to issue one. DTX isnt going to sit through a blizzard and not issue a warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman1952 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Good news for me that it seems the track went even more north last night. 2.5" new so far. That is the total that they said we get from yesterdays. NWS Detroit office. lol I have webcams from all over MI on my weather site. Super Bowl, Snowing, ..priceless. lol Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hey Tim, that stuff in IL looks to be making a beeline for LAF. Should be a nice burst again later. Think it's going to miss barely north. Though bigger flakes have resumed here for the moment. And you think my thermometer is warm biased, check out that 39˚ just to the southwest of here.

Jackstraw Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm hangin on by my chinny chin chin lol. That rain shield came up to about 5 miles of me according to COD radar, then poof, some magical cold air. I'm up to 3 now on my board and its still coming moderate to heavy at times.

DAFF Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I bet DTX is waiting for the system to unfold a little more. Rates here in Windsor are increasing by the hour. Some light drifting too. Haven't had too much time to analyze much wrt accumulations today.... Is south of city still in the heaviest or is the nams recent trend best??
