IWXwx Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 .25" final call Worst call that I've ever seen by Alek. 1.5" here and still pouring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 For having 35+ dbz overhead, it was underwhelming. When it's not snowing hard with those echoes, there's either sleet mixing in or a dry layer. Yep. Comes down really good in short bursts, otherwise it's kinda blah. Pouring here right now though...

stormtrackertf Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 A couple of photos from my Mom. That Robin is all like, WTF? ikk 3:23:15 robin.jpg LOL Nice pics. Really impressive late-season storm. Was thinking temps would be more of an issue, but it seems like most places are very solidly below freezing in the area modeled to get the heavy snow. Congrats to everyone who got something, I must admit I'm a bit jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still snowing lightly here again. I just noticed the last scan from KLOT on COD was 1757. Is it down, or did their server burp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natester Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 When I was on break at work, I took a few pictures of the ice accumulation on trees. Last time I saw ice accumulation like this was on December 11, 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Went out and measured on our obs deck. I figured the wind haas been light enough that that shouldn't induce too much error. 4.0" on the dot. And still snowing too! Not bad for March 23rd!

Thunder Road Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 also, biggest calendar day snowfall after the spring equinox at ORD and RFD since 1982: https://nwschat.weather.gov/p.php?pid=201503231942-KLOT-NOUS43-PNSLOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Finished with 7.0" here. ORD is up to 5.8" Pushes the season total up to 50.1" Wow, very nice. I finished with 4.4" here.

Geos Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Not 100% sure on the exact total, but I believe it was 3.8" here with a 12:1 ratio. Ground is completely white here with the snow have a crusty top layer to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Only got 0.2" of snow/sleet here in SE Ohio, but I was definitely geeking out over some things that happened. We hit 47 this afternoon and were still at 38 when precip started, but still saw all snow initially. We were under 30-40dBZ for about 10 minutes before anything more than stray flurries made it to the ground, which makes sense considering the T/Td spread was 38/12 until we started to wet bulb. It was night so I'm sure I would've seen this better during the day, however, in the 5 minutes before it really started to snow you could see white in the distance getting closer to the ground. For about a minute I could see a hill about a mile to my south enshrouded in the snow until it finally got to me (the hill is only a little higher than I am). Once it snowed the flake size gradually increased to about golf ball size after a few minutes. The climax of the event was towards the end when it was pouring down huge flakes with visibility below half a mile for about 10 minutes. For the last 5 minutes of the heavy snow/large flakes, it started to sleet pretty decently. I've NEVER seen heavy snow and large flakes mixed with a decent amount of sleet before. It all tapered fairly quickly, the duration of better snows was about 15 minutes. Here was the temp/dew point at our on-campus weather station: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Impressive snow totals. This clipper is more reminiscent of mid winter, than early spring. Managed a nice covering here so far, I can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
