A-L-E-K Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 +RN, literally no flakes mixing in and 38. Needless to say all the deathbed snow melted and i can't say i'm that bummed, it was fun to see. props to the HRRR...wonder if some mesolow features are helping to increase onshore flow because there isn't even a little flake surviving down with these drops. Can't wait to see the gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did you get from the deathband? I will have to ask my brother if he got rain. He texted me a pic last night. Snow was sticking but not to cement.

Chicago WX Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Coming down a little better here right now. Roads starting to slush up a bit.

Powerball Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Pretty solid agreement between the 11z HRRR and RAP for snow here (no mixing issues verbatim). Still, things are cutting close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Pretty solid agreement between the 11z HRRR and RAP for snow here (no mixing issues verbatim). Still, things are cutting close... 4km NAM snow map looks good and no rain on ncep model time series. Things have trended in our favor the last day for sure. 6z RGEM was the best RGEM run yet. 0.1" on elevated surfaces and some grass here. Let the fun begin.
