Not sold in stores. ruler.jpg Just kidding, Geos. It's funny, because last week I ordered a special ruler that breaks down to 1/10th's instead of the standard^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 1.2" as of now. 3" sounds reasonable. Yeah it is a weird storm. @SnowFreak - The one I got is 18", steel. It's not flimsy at all. 2-3mm thick If I'm measuring snow at night, I can read it a little easier now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Dry air moving Into the system, cutting accumulations down to less than 2" for east central Illinois. The frustration continues.

Frog Town Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Definitely getting excited about the latest trends for the NW OH/SE MI area. Don't want to get my hopes up, but it's been par for the course this winter. It's good to be hear btw. I feel like i've entered an AA meeting , but for weather nuts. Good to be hear!

cyclone77 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Snow's about to shut down as back edge is almost here. Looks like we'll finish right around, or just under an inch. LSRs were pretty low even with the dry snow due to flake size. Should have some staying power. Nice to see it looking white again out there.

Geos Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Went to light snow for a short time, but now back to moderate. Back edge band should be pretty good with temps near 30°. It's even snowing in Green Bay tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm near Flint and I've seen forecasts from 1/2" of rain, to a dusting, to 6". It's like everyone is simply guessing as far as the forecasts go now. We've been getting teased by the edge of the rain for three hours now, temp is still 43°. Hard to guess what is going to fall at this point.

Chicago WX Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Tough forecast, no doubt...but a pretty good bust for IKK. WWA issued for 3-6" turned into a glorified car topper. But the 30 minutes of good snow was cool. I do wonder how LAF will fare with this second piece. IND has 2-4" in the advisory text for them. Currently it's 41˚/40˚ at the airport there.
