Geos Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Another band forming along the shoreline. Just need to get that temp down a little more. Snow starting to stick on the grass and bushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Very strong band moving through right now, huge flakes and very heavy. Getting blown around though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Up to 6". Double digits may be a bit tough to pull off imby but we'll see. Areas just south/east definitely looking good for that. NIPSCO outages gradually increasing but not to huge numbers yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm not on any mountains here, and I havent hit freezing yet. I do see your point though,I just don't know how much it helped today. Your area is still at a good 800-900 feet ASL, which is significantly higher than the Chicago and Detroit metro areas. Central and Northern Oakland county are only 900 to 1,100 feet ASL as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 That's a big boy dryslot. I'm kinda glad this didn't end up being snow because this would be shaping up like a GHD I screw-job. Yeah this is just one bad (lame) "storm" so far here, I had some minor rippage for 15-20 minutes at 2:50 pm - 3:10 pm but absolutely nothing after that (hourly forecast showed 1-3 cm every hour for this period). A hour ago it was 1 inch flakes that appeared wet and flying around in a sudden gust mode that was extremely short. They might have been rimmed because they made a soft noise when hitting windows. It was a bit unique overall, good mood flakes for Christmas morning. I was in solid yellows, borderline oranges during that and it accumulated terribly, I'm at 3/4th of 1 inch.

SchaumburgStormer Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Got my mood flakes, I'm happy. Got off the phone with my parents outside of Decatur. Advised they have about 6" otg. Blizzard conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Such a waste of a storm. When you go just 25 miles NW and they're getting hit with 2" per hour rates and will likely see 12"+ accumulate while you're getting pouring ice cold rain pellets despite a storm track to Erie, PA, **** the pitiful wrap around crap and crusty **** it leaves behind on the grass as we head into Met Spring.

It had potential, it's just the wrong environment this year. Otherwise, this would deliver well if the doldrums of winter were here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story of the winter. About every part of the sub has had a "right track, wrong (insert variable here)" storm this season. With that being said, central Illinois and Saint Louis are having a pretty good winter by their standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said, central Illinois and Saint Louis are having a pretty good winter by their standards. Eh idk about all that, don't get me wrong, this storm takes the sting out of what has been a really bad and warm winter, but up until today our snowfall stood at 8.2" for the entire winter. This has been a great storm, just stinks I feel we have lost 1/2 of our snow to melting on contact. Some of the well traveled roads in Champaign are actually just fine, the rural roads are a completely different story. Like I said, not being a Debbie downer this is still a good storm, and under heavier returns with those howling 40-50mph winds, are creating a scene we don't see very often around here.

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 If you get dryslotted later don't worry REST OF EVENING WILL SEE DRY SLOT FILL IN AS EXPANDING AREA OF PRECIPITATION TO OUR SOUTH ROTATES NORTH. DEFORMATION ZONE TO EXPAND EAST ACROSS THE AREA AS LOW PULLS AWAY. COLDER AIR WILL EXPAND EAST AND SHOULD CHANGE PCPN TYPE TO ALL SNOW BY MID EVENING IN FAR EAST. RUC AND HRRR HAD A GOOD HANDLE ON PCPN TYPES TODAY AND USED THESE ALONG WITH NAM12 BLENDED FOR TIMING OF CHANGEOVER IN POWT PROCESS FOR FORECAST GRIDS. LIQUID SNOW RATIOS HAVE BEEN LOW AS EXPECTED WITH AROUND 10 TO 1 AVERAGE. SHOULD SEE THESE IMPROVE OVERNIGHT WITH SLIGHTLY COLDER AIR AND DGZ LOWERING. LAKE ENHANCED SNOW BAND STILL EXECTED TO SWING OFF THE LAKE INTO NW AND NC INDIANA WITH STRONG CYCLONIC FLOW. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL MODERATE TO HEAVY BURST OF SNOW. OVERALL INHERITED ACCUMS LOOK GOOD WITH REPORTS RECEIVED ALREADY...TOTAL ACCUMS AROUND A FOOT STILL POSSIBLE NW INDIANA TO SW MICHIGAN BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON WHEN SNOW COMES TO AN END.

TravisWx Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Wow. APX just slashed most of Presque Isle county's snow totals from 10 inches to 4 inches for tomorrow morning.

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Those further east need to calm down, you will likely get a good thump when the southern dryslot fills in when the low starts moving in 2-3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Gonna have to bite my tongue on complaining about having to shovel this cement...since at least I have something to shovel . About 5" OTG. Finally lost the battle to sleet about an hour ago and have been pinging ever since...although it looks like its switching back once again.
