GreenBo Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Mood flakes here. Looks like the dead of winter out there. Thick foot+ blanket of snow. Reminds me of why I love the winter. Another 1-2” expected here before the pattern flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Snow already has redeveloped ahead of schedule. I have a good feeling about wave two. I'll bump my call to 2-4". This should help compensate for the mess that tomorrow is turning into. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSNOW Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 12z NAM is bringing 5-6 inches into chicagoland with wave #3 General model consensus of 3-5 with NAM being wetter as usual. http://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=nam&p=snku_acc&rh=2018021012&fh=36&r=us_mw&dpdt= http://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=rdps&p=snku_acc&rh=2018021012&fh=36&r=us_mw&dpdt= http://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=gfs&p=snku_acc&rh=2018021012&fh=33&r=us_mw&dpdt= http://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=gdps&p=snku_acc&rh=2018021012&fh=36&r=us_mw&dpdt= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have anywhere to go, so if it does come to some freezing rain (I'd obviously I'd rather it didn't) it may to serve to protect our snowpack somewhat when the warm-up comes on Wednesday and Thursday. Agree that wave two is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Picked up a nice 2.8" on the event last night. Not bad. Not bad at all. 2" of that fell in less than 2 hours. EDIT: My total is 23.9" of snow, with 13.1 of that falling in February so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Well, that was a bust. I could have counted the flakes. Anyone want to explain what happened withthe second wave?Some short term models progged it to weaken. They were discounted. The models showing the rapid shearing out of the wave were correct.Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams30721us Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Here's a look at snowfall totals from last night/ this morning's snow event across Iowa. A pretty decent hit for the southern 2/3rds. Gearing up for potential round 3 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 These models keep trying to push the idea that tomorrow will be sleet for the southern half of the metro area. I don't think I am buying that one, there hasn't been a transition zone with any of these waves, either snow or rain. Plus the warm "layer" these models are trying to represent is basically isothermal with the 0c line. It does however look more showery than previous waves, so could be quick hitting with near whiteout conditions and massive flakes. As for the northern half of the area, starting to look like 3-5" is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone want to explain what happened withthe second wave? Short term and hi-res guidance was further NW, and ended up being correct. Nice axis of 2-5" from south of DSM to near DVN to Woodstock, with slightly higher amounts in that axis in IA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual we get the short end of the stick when it comes to storms in our subforum . Looks like at best we may see 2.0" before a change over to sleet and freezing rain. Areas north of 401 may see cold air hanging on a bit longer at 850. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 NWS IND now says for central IN there is a possibility of less than .10 inch of ice overnight into Sunday morning. Down from ,25 expected earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajl_from_Valpo Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I woke up this morning, and suddenly someone could end up getting 6" totals from wave 3. We're in a pretty good spot here, so I'm hoping w can get death banded for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should sink a bit south and fill in through-out the afternoon. 2.0-4.0" seems like a good target for today as you mentioned earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Not our region but just a heads up that SPC is thinking possible svr with a couple of tors for NOLA region in slight risk later on this Sat.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I picked up a nice 3 inches last night from wave #2. The liquid total is 0.19". The heavy fgen band made it just far enough north to dump on us for a couple hours. The line of counties just south of I-80 got trained by the yellow on radar. 7-8" is pretty impressive.

Agree. To be honest, this is turning into a good weekend for snow and tracking storms. It's been a good winter, overall. Snow Christmas Eve and Day, bitter cold around New Years leading to some amazing photo opportunities at Niagara falls, and now a fairly solid first half of February.

TugHillMatt Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Picked up 5 inches from wave 1, a coating from wave 2, and hopefully several more tomorrow. All snow on railing is from the past week (even after the wind blowing some off.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step away from the computer and go for a Jeb walk. Great picture. I was actually about too, . As of yesterday YYZ is at ~32.6" (82.7cm). After this weekend we should be ~36.0" (>90cm), ahead of last year and 7.0-9.0" within average. Can't complain, we've had alot of frequent snow events despite nothing big.
