IWXwx Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Congrats to the MN posters seeing some action. It's pretty sad when I'm kicking their butts in the seasonal snowfall dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Steady mod snow falling, should do well for the next few hours. Accumulating down there? Just as I made my last post it started ripping pretty good. We'll see if it lasts. You're in a better spot than me being south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Really coming down now. The lake is just over 1/4mi across and can't see the other side, so it's ripping good. Ground is already almost covered. Wicked white out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 A few hours old off the 21z RAP but shows you the rip city potential. 1hr QPF is very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 0z NAM clown map brings 6"+ amounts into northern IL...and a nice enough band just to the north of LAF. nam clown.gif NAM forecast soundings still suggest a nice burst of snow possible, though we'll have to watch as mid level moisture gets stripped with time. Could lead to more of a rain/freezing rain scenario depending on temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather some graupel or s**** seems more likely. imo, soundings don't really look too favorable for sleet with the possible exception of right at onset. After that, the column goes below freezing though we'll have to watch for any undermodeled warm layer aloft as usual. Any liquid would probably be at the tail end.

Just don't think we'll see much liquid, if any at all. I could be wrong of course. Regardless, most likely the first "frozen" we've seen since March 1.

daddylonglegs Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Snow started this afternoon...enough to cover the grass...that then melted some before night...then the real stuff came in and last i checked...maybe 2 or 3 inches depending on where i measure has fallen (as of about 10pm)...talking to some people, looks like there has been quite a few cars off the road in various spots in the area...so very slick. Radar looks active to the west so i should be able to add more...some place over in MN had 7 inches before 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Had a bump in my grid snowfall forecast: 2-4" now. There's that 7" report. ORONOCO 2E 7.0 IN 0934 PM 03/22 44.16N/92.51W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Might have to head north tomorrow for some pics. Wet snow should stick to everything up there. Thinking a tenth or two of sleet, followed by 1/3" of snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Lol 2z RAP with over .70" liquid at DPA I think there's a good chance that LOT expands the advisory all the way into Chicago and possibly NW IN (can't even rule out some isolated warning amounts in the cwa). Amounts may be borderline in some areas but there looks to be a period of 1-2" per hour type rates possible and coinciding with morning rush. The hi-res/other stuff supports it.
