Hoosier Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Congrats to all of our Iowa, Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin posters, with Southern Michigan getting theirs later. Enjoy a highly unusual November storm and keep the pics coming. It's going to be a nice spread the wealth system for the subforum. Meanwhile, all of us Ohio, and Central and Southern Indiana and Illinois posters will wave as the storm passes to our north. Looks like you could get a good burst there tomorrow.

Central Illinois Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hmmm, not seeing it any longer on the 00z 4km NAM. And it's also colder / all snow for us. 00z 4k NAM total snowfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Precip still extends all of the way back to the QC at this point with the LE going strong. The 4km NAM is a bit further south and the RAP is a bit north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I measure 4.5 in east central RFD, although admittedly I am no michsnowfreak and not trained in the art of measuring. It was ripping a bit ago, big wet fluffy flakes. No rain, all snow from the onset. Accumulated immediately on grass, started accumulating on pavement after about 1" on grass.Looking good!

Chitown Storm Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 The WFOS will get more burned if they don't take a risk, people don't pay attention to Winter Weather Advisories as much The offices aren't in the business of taking risks. They're in the business of giving the public a fair warning about potential hazards. Chill, and enjoy the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 00z RGEM is sort of the lone "holdout", with the mixing line hugging the US / Canada border and a low track over Sandusky, OH (versus Cleveland).

Nelson Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Any one else notice the "bunching" up of heavier snow near the lake? Possible lake enhancement? I don't believe the winds have turned to come off the lake so I don't think that's lake enhancement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Seems like the earlier runs of the RAP were too bullish on southeastward advance of precip. Things might not really get going here until well after midnight, though upstream radar/obs suggest it could get going sooner. Jealous of you guys up north, but it had been looking like this fgen band would completely/mostly miss here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
