indeedinger Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Good to see the snow wins the melting battle.... Such a steep drop off wrt accumulations from Detroit to Windsor.... Hope the SW trend holds another 10 miles. Snow pretty much stuck on grass from the start. Roads were wet until the heavy stuff started, and then things deteriorated quickly. Good thing there is little wind or the northern part of Iowa would be shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Temp has dropped from 38-35 here in the past 15-20min, as -SN/flurries has become mod snow. Already a few tenths down. Sticking to all surfaces, excluding roads/walks/drives. You still in Streamwood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Question: what's causing the early onset of snow in Chicago metro? Quicker movement? Or more rapid saturation than anticipated which may help totals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Question: what's causing the early onset of snow in Chicago metro? Quicker movement? Or more rapid saturation than anticipated which may help totals? Probably a little bit of both, based on radar trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilstormchaser Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Where the placement of the surface low is forecasted to be, the rap may be too bullish with its tick Southward of the heavy snow band. Maybe it's overestimating dynamic cooling some? Going with a total of 2.4 inches of slop here just ese of Peoria I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's overestimating dynamic cooling some? Going with a total of 2.4 inches of slop here just ese of Peoria I think. I may double that here on the north side of PIA (4-5) but just north around chillicothe may be 6-8 The cut off is going to be sharp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Surprised to see IND isn't more bullish. Just checked the forecast for LAF and it's only up to an inch. Definitely some bust potential there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Half inch or so in Woodstock. Car temp at 32. Paved surfaces still wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 This early fgen band was well modeled ahead of the main show I do think things got saturated pretty quickly though, there was a bit of expectation that you'd burn a couple hours moistening the column but that doesn't seem to be the case. Speaking of which, I see the moon is gone, so we are starting to moisten the column here as well as the clouds thicken and lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 This early fgen band was well modeled ahead of the main show Thanks. LOT noted it would weaken considerably from its strength in Iowa. Also, figured the band would take time to saturate and would be mixed with rain. Positive signs if your a snow lover in the early stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 That area of 12"+ totals in SE. SD/NW. IA has now extended east into N-C. IA near I-35 (Clarion/Hampton area). Given reports further east, it looks like this axis of 12"+ totals will soon extend east towards the Waterloo/Waverly area. Will be interesting to see if that axis continues east towards DBQ/FEP and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
