RCNYILWX Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 You guys gotta check this out. Go to here and then click 24hr timelapse and download 2/1 and check it out. 24hr time lapse from at COD of the parking lot during most of the event. http://weather.cod.edu/campusweather/ Awesome! Think I might add that to the event writeup we did here. Anyone have any ideas of stuff I could add to the page? My plan is to do a bit more tomorrow and Friday.

michsnowfreak Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 And I would think (or at least hope) DTX's map wasn't final... There's no way Grosse Pointe and Dearborn picked up less than 10". Spotter reports out of Dearborn had 14.5", but yes, the TERRIBLE observer there had 9.6". Same with Grosse Pointe. I honestly dont know how or where those guys measure, but weve beaten this horse for years. You couldnt even FIND a spot below 10" here at 7am yesterday morning. You can see that there is more snow downriver than Farmington Hills where I work, but still, no one in metro-Detroit got under a foot of snow. In fact, I doubt anyone south of M59 got under 13". South of me and north of Monroe somewhere probably got 18-19", but we will never know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 You guys to the east had some nice ratios and epic totals. This was a great storm, our best in four years, but it did have one issue that kept it from being epic here. We started out in the warm tongue, with a mild, saturated lower atmosphere. For several hours our temp/dewpoint refused to budge from 37/36. The precip wasn't heavy enough to bring down colder air from above and the south wind meant there was no colder or drier air being advected in. The first 0.20" of precip went into rain, and then it took 0.95" to produce our first 7 inches of snow. If it was two or three degrees colder from the start, that initial 1.15" of precip could have been 11 or 12 inches of snow, and our total could have been 15-17 inches, like many places out east. There is still thick snow plastered on everything here. At first it was just wet cement, but after a couple very cold days it has hardened. I hope some of the bushes and small trees in my yard perk back up after being weighted down by the heavy snow. It looks pretty cool, though.

Thunder Road Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Awesome! Think I might add that to the event writeup we did here. Anyone have any ideas of stuff I could add to the page? My plan is to do a bit more tomorrow and Friday. You could probably run HYSPLIT and get back trajectories showing how both the Gulf and East Pacific were moisture sources. And if you can't make that work, an annotated WV image would also be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing trajectories is a good idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Added the Top 5 Chicago snowstorm comparison table this evening to our event writeup. Will be adding more radar and satellite goodness tomorrow. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=lot&storyid=106548&source=0 I pulled out the average snow ratio line from the table because the liquid equivalent for this event was too low at ORD, only 1.04", while MDW 3SW had 1.54". The ratio at MDW was 1.54 LE to 19.2" total (12.5:1) vs. 1.04 LE to 19.3 total at ORD (18.6:1). Checked out ILX and DVN RAOBs 00z Saturday evening and 12z Sunday and they were beyond impressive from a moisture standpoint in a snowstorm. Pwats were .67 at DVN and .68 at ILX Saturday evening and I think .55 at DVN .66 at ILX 12z Sunday. The 00z 2/1 value at DVN is just about 2 SD above normal for the date.

cyclone77 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 A week ago tonight : just the beginning. Nice. Can't believe it's already been a week. This time last week the rain was changing over to snow for good. Never would have dreamed what would end up happening from then on out. What a storm.

cyclone77 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Here's the LOT version. 38hrs on here, but WAY less images total than the DVN loop. DVN was in VCP 212 for most of the event, so the extra SAILS scans yielded new radar data every 2-3 minutes. LOT stayed in either VCP 31 or 21 for the entire event, and no SAILS. Radar scans were as far apart as 10mins in VCP 31 (clear air mode), so I had to slow the frame rate way down compared to the DVN loop. Also, unfortunately there's around an hour's worth of missing data in the 5-6pm range on 2/1/15, as it wasn't available on NCDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
