michsnowfreak Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just got home. Roughly about 4 inches after compaction so I'd estimate we avoided most of the rain and ended up with about 4-5 before this brief lull. What part of Livonia are you in?

harrisale Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I guess it's dependent on how much more QPF you see. There's at least a chance after these last spokes of showers we dry out until the column is supportive of basically just snow. True, quite the healthy dry slot as you mentioned. Was surprised to see the temperature drop so fast, hopefully that bodes well for snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 13" report about 10 miles south of here. Might be slant sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Has switched to mostly sleet now. About 8" down thus far. It's extremely heavy snow. Many people were stuck in my neighborhood this afternoon. Helped push two cars out. Probably 2-4" more before its all done and that's a big maybe ATP. Hoping that southern posters can cash in later.

Hoosier Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Any reports from mimillman or other people in the city? Hard to tell for sure but looks like a couple inches around Midway and perhaps near 6" far far south side (like Hegewisch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Congrats to the people who received snow today. Today actually was a pretty decent day here. Ended up hitting 41, and the winds weren't as strong as I thought they'd be. You have never known a storm was so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 23z mesoanalysis has a 988 near Akron, OH. Reviewing the model performance, I think you have to give it more to the eastern camp (GEM/NAM/EURO) as opposed to the GFS/UKIE/Hi Res models. Although, that eastern camp at one point, even as recently as 36-48 hours ago, was too far east (a couple of EURO runs took the low into NW PA and then between ROC and SYR).

DAFF Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 About 2.5" of slop followed by copious amounts heavy rain downtown Windsor. Here at home 15miles away nothing but rain. Awaiting the next round and watching the ground temps closely. At sunset 32.8°f asphalt temps.... System ended up producing a little more than expected on the front side, hoping for the same results on the cooler backside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castaway Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Any reports from mimillman or other people in the city? Hard to tell for sure but looks like a couple inches around Midway and perhaps near 6" far far south side (like Hegewisch) I'd say 1-2" max down by Midway. Less then .5" around the majority of Chicagoland. The snow a weekend ago had a lot more impact. This was one of the weaker snow events of the year to put it bluntly. However, the winds were/are still howling. Main show here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Wow, what a miserable day out there. Cold rain falling. Canuck, what do you think our chances are for a changeover to snow overnight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisWx Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Started snowing in Rogers city about 15 minutes ago. Went from cloudy to awful visibility in about 5 minutes. Took this picture earlier driving home from work. The lower level clouds moving in from the south looked pretty neat.

Jonger Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Our storm ran out of steam. Typical of storms outside of the east coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Gary Indiana gusting to 67mph now. Starting to wonder a bit about that site. They had a 70+ gust last Friday which seemed a little higher than maybe it should have been. Not saying either one isn't possible, but it's quite a bit higher than surrounding sites. Maybe the anemometer cups are caked with wet snow or something lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roardog Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 It has been just about a whiteout here since early afternoon and still coming down hard. I would estimate about 7 inches of the wettest snow you can get. I'm hoping the power stays on. It keeps going off and coming back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky333 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 2.5" of slop 7 miles north of me and we got .5". Looking forward to the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 ALEK must have gone on a 10hr jebwalk in the snow lol. Unusually quiet for an event (even if it was disappointing) for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman99 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Officially Lambert Field in St Louis received 3.6 inches today. Biggest storm of the winter, which is sad. Brings the seasonal total to just short of 11 inches ..again sad. Some places around the area did get 5-7 inches. I received a half inch here...10 miles east of me had 3 inches and 7 miles south had 4. Grrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Just shy of 9 inches here, I'm surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that lake could help definitely. If that reading is correct then it must be pretty crazy up in that area. That's up close to GHD1 Chicago lakefront territory.

stormtrackertf Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 9 inches or so here in Auburn Hills. Pingers flying heavily now. Side roads are a joke. Low ratio stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Looks like 0.1" here. Pitiful Interesting look to the radar. Almost looks like LES bands, but they are not orientated right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I gotta hand it to Fabert on sticking to his guns on the 3-6" call from last night, he warned the melting on contact would significantly reduce snowfall totals. I guess the inner weenie in me chose to ignore that and was hoping for a top 5 storm, the winds definetely held up to their word, but the snowfall sucked. All but over and we ended with 3" of wet slushy slop with mostly accumulations on grassy surfaces..most well traveled roads throughout Champaign are fine. Still fun, but underperformed snowfall wise.
