TimChgo9 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Absolutely miserable day..... Did get a thunderstorm through here today. .97" rain locally as of this hour. Moderate to heavy rain throughout the day..... got my new car all wet. Was a a bit surprised by the thunder and lightning today. All of this is making me look forward to spring.

Geos Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Boosted up in the rainfall department this afternoon. Sitting at 0.57" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoof Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I had 2" of cement snow at the start of the storm (better than expected), ripping sleet now, looks like some thundersleet coming in a few mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 One of the better rainstorms I tracked for 9 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Ripping now, heaviest all day currently 2"+ hr rates, wind has picked up its pretty wicked out, closing in on 5" , expecting to change to sleet in the next hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Just got a very nice / close rumble of thunder (first of the year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 impossible to measure with the blowing and drifting, but I'm guessing I have 9-10" and it's still pound town here in St. Paul. The heavy band is just camped out over the metro. This has been fun and it's not even close to being over. 2' drifts on the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonbo Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Definite congrats to MSP. That band has just been lingering all afternoon to great results. I'm just hoping the band exiting Omaha will hold together long enough to drop another inch here. Cover up the wet sloppy snow from this morning.

IllinoisWedges Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Ended the day with 1.08" of rain here. Had multiple cracks of thunder. To me, that beats a snowstorm. Bring on spring. Congrats to those who got hit w/ this snowstorm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 One of the better rainstorms I tracked for 9 days. 33 and +RA. Evil. Pure evil. Same here! 34 degrees here with thunderstorms off and on for the past 6 bloody hours. Over an inch of rain. $#@$#$#!@$#$ this winter! Well, with it being so cold, much of snowpack has survived the deluge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 This storm has been a total slap in the face. Places just to the north that got snow, go their couple inches of snow and then dry-slotted with barely a drop...while here it's poured and poured and poured rain.

stormtrackertf Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Got several nice rumbles of thunder today and some torrential but brief downpours. Not bad if I'm missing out on the wintery side of the show.Good luck to those still getting snow out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 started snowing around 4 and then let up for a couple hours but has been mod/heavy snow for almost three hours. 1/3 of the way to a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisWx Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Approximately 5 inches of concrete in Rogers City, MI. Still coming down at a moderate rate. This stuff is not fun to shovel at all, going to be a pain in the butt clearing the driveway tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your backyard will do fine obviously and you already know that BUT some areas busted really hard to the south and east of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think through tomorrow shoreline counties will match forecast, but you're right about se areas... although Menominee received over 4".

TravisWx Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 What is your depth up there? Haven't measured total depth in awhile, but if I'd have to guess its around 24" inches total. With this heavy garbage on top, probably 27" to 29" by morning. Hopefully we won't get too much rain if it switches over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Lower didn't do too badly, all things considered. They were only expected to see 3-6" of snow, which they did. The convective nature of the precipitation and strong wet bulb cooling really helped them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some places dry slotted almost the whole storm. If that happened here. Oh boy. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota Meso Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Just went on a walk with the dog. 7.5" in the last 5 hours. Still rockin'. Should hit double digits based on current trends. MPX mentions locations possibly getting 12-18" as these heavy bands continue to roll through. Chitown not surprised with this at all. Look at the Minnesota Forecaster site. I'm randyinchamplin there. Used Vorticity Advection for my forecast and rode it hard. http://www.minnesotaforecaster.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
