NAM shows that virtually all the precip (even PL or ZR) will miss us to the NW. Looks like you're going to be right, unfortunately. Still, can't really complain. The first two waves performed quite well here and it does look like a winter wonderland outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Solid 4" still snowing,but in the final stages of event.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Weaseling up on 4" when its all said and done. Time to clear it and head out to the BIL's in Big Bend, WI. for a sled ride down to Lake Geneva area. Going to be nuts on the trails. I can't remember the trails being open on a Sunday in the last 3 winters,. MKE has the trails but Detroit corralled most of the snow over that time. Enjoy your Sunday gang.

SchaumburgStormer Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sitting at 3.8” overnight with another bit of light snow working through. Will easily exceed 4” and if we get under a better band may make a run at 5” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 3" even here. Nice way to end the event. Brings the total since Thursday evening to 8.3". About 10-11" on the ground now, which looks very pretty nice. Has that deep winter look out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS profile looks good for some sl@#t, (although the map shows mostly zr), while 3km NAM soundings show a good chance of freezing rain (although map shows mostly s@#$t). Both models are only spitting out about 0.15" qpf, so anyway you slice it, things won't get out of hand, but just another slap in the face to those of us that ended up just south of the big dog. Congrats to those that scored. It looks like both models were right in that I was getting both frizzle and s#%t at the same time this morning. Just a white glaze out there.

The first two waves performed quite well here and it does look like a winter wonderland outside. First two waves performed as expected (or slightly better) in terms of amounts relative to my forecast. However, the models in both cases were too generous with the duration of the snowfall. Yesterday the snow cut off especially early as we only ended up with about 6 hours of snowfall. Had the snow persisted, with the rates we were seeing, it could have been more impressive. And wave 3 is a dud. All in all...5.5" here. My range was 6-8" so a small bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Came back to southern lake county to visit family this weekend in time for rounds 2 and 3 of this system. Final band really packing a punch, I haven't been outside but estimate another 4"+ since last night and over 12" OTG here. potato quality pic for reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I picked up 1.3" overnight from 0.10" liquid, so the HRRR did become a bit too wet. My total for the entire series of waves is 6.1". I ended up on the edge of every wave. 6.1" is not bad, and we finally have a real snow pack for once, but it still would've been nice to get a biggie in there somewhere among the nickel/dimers.

Hoosier Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Picked up 3.5", bringing my total since Thursday to 13.8". Should tack on a bit more later when the final band moves through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlew Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 One of the best weeks of snow in a while, got another 4" last night to bring us to 18 inches since last Sunday, and 13.5 since Thursday here on SW side of Chicago. Walking the dog this morning everyone had the same look of helplessness trying to shovel onto the chest-high piles. Overall depth is 13" in one of the few undisturbed spots I was able to find.

RCNYILWX Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 4" here in southeast Naperville with the final round, 13" average settled snow depth. Pretty awesome stretch for the Chicago area after what had been a frustrating winter for snow lovers around here.

Time to publicly shame myself for a pretty basic error. I forgot to clear the boards yesterday morning after I measured, so today’s data is .8” too high. Corrected totals: 4.3” for wave three, 12.7” overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Very odd FROPA. Started out as ZR, quickly mixed with heavy pingers, and then finished with a 5 minute downpour of +SN. Dynamic cooling FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 My piles at the curb are a good 6-7 feet high. Actually decided to stop adding to those piles and walked elsewhere on my property with each shovel full of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher mid Feb sun angle doing work on cleared paved areas even with temps in the teens. This is the deepest I've seen snow here since early Feb '15, after the GHDII storm. Was pretty fun tracking these waves the past week or so. My call for that enhanced band from Tipton up towards Rockford didn't pan out. Convergence band developed but was pretty meh, and washed out pretty quickly. My call for 2-3" with isolated higher amounts was generally okay, but maybe should have just went 2-4" and called it a day. DVN's decision to bump up to 4-6" ended up being too high as expected.

Thundersnow12 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Finished with 4.0" at my house for this round. 11.1" for the weekend event. 30.3" on the winter with 17" of that in the last nine days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
