Yea that band over you is almost stationary. Could def boost your totals. It is trying to sink south but very very slowly. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Real nice event here. Guessing we were in the 4-5in range. Haven't been able to take an official measurement yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORD looks good for 3.1" I thought that about FWA also. We're also going to end up with about an inch, similar to ORD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlover2 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 3.5" now. 4" is a given and 5" seems doable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Hit the gym and then spent like an hour shoveling this nuisance stuff (loooong driveway). Total just over 1". Looking at storm reports from Midway and O'Hare, the northern end of this did struggle with ratios as the liquid equivalents/snow amounts at those 2 places were not that impressive.

hawkeye_wx Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I finished with 5.4". The ratio is 21:1. The heaviest totals of 6-7" are just south of CR. I was skeptical this system would meet winter storm warning criteria, but it did in at least part of the warning area. Kudos to DVN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Picked up another 0.8" from the mid-evening band of snow globe snows. Was enough to bring us to 3.6" for the day, so ended up pretty close to my 4" call for here afterall. Winds are going to start picking up after midnight, so suspect there could be quite a bit of blowing snow out in the open country with how dry/fluffy this snow is.

snowlover2 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Sitting at a little short of 4" maybe 3.8 to be more exact. Heavier returns about to move back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 1.4" on 0.07" liquid here. Lots of 3-5" reports between FWA and IND. NAMs nailed path of heaviest snow for most of Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we should enjoy it while it lasts because we look to be in for a long stretch of bone chilling dry cold. Unless a phantom clipper appears out of the blue!

nrgjeff Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 HRRR was right with the narrow band, but the ratio bulls verified within that band. Between Kankakee and Champaign we drove through moderate or better snow. I-57 was snow covered. Between Clifton and Paxton was heaviest. Measured about 4 inches at a Clifton gas station while still snowing hard, big phat flakes. The 5+ reports seem reasonable. Looks like only 2 in Champaign. Radar sharp cutofff represented reality fairly well. Thanks for sharing the nice clipper for our visit up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
