Powerball Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Wonder if DTX is even mauling a BW???? Doesn't matter to me as this storm is what it is regardless of the NWS warnings but I know for some it is a big deal to get an actual BW posted by the NWS. As long as we get the epic snowfall totals, while it would be a very nice cherry on top, having a Blizzard WArning isn't a big deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 9.1" as of 11:30 a.m. here at Valpo. 1.9" in the last two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Mid teens call is looking great. 16.1" is probably gonna be too high but we should fall in somewhere around 14-16". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmantis Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Slight lull the last our in Elgin, IL. Winds starting to pick up and so is the snow again... Haven't been outside yet but it looks like the stuff that has fallen already is heavy and wet with the new snow being much lighter. Interested to see how things change once the backside of the storm starts hitting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 My dad in the QC says he's up to 11" now and snowing very hard. Had a 9" text from Bettendorf over an hour ago as well. DVN radar is looking solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 About 4 inches here so far. Unfortunately for me, the snowflake size has been small. However, the heaviest is yet to come for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Love this in the DTX update: Good luck with that considering all the Super Bowl parties ... Maybe if a Blizzard Warning was issued for posterity, then yeah... But otherwise, most think this is going to be a "run of the mill" snowstorm.

Baum Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah I was sweating it a bit. Filled in nicely for an afternoon of moderate to heavy snow with poor visibility Deformation band is usually the best part of a storm. Wind really been a non factor to this point. Be interesting to see if it can ratchet up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I agree i just didn't understand IthielZ logic. Probably should have worded it better. Because the chances of meeting legit parameters for a blizzard warning aren't overly high, I don't think they pull the trigger simply due to the fact that it's so difficult to actually meet the criteria and it fell short the previous two times even when all signs pointed to the criteria being met easily. Simply put, I feel like it isn't slam dunk enough to issue a warning right now. Now if it's been raging snow with winds of 35-40mph for 2 hours and >0.25mi visibility in a few spots, I think they'd definitely issue a warning even if it was late.
