Yea, me too! Wound up working the storm, but got home a few hours ago, and in several spots the avg, here in Davenport for me was in the 7"-8" range, but between several hours of sleet earlier, and some melting etc. Probably more than that fell. Also, the past few hours since I have been home has featured a steady moderate to heavy snow rate with half-dollar size flakes still ongoing. Probably a good 1/2" -1" an hr rates. What an awesome storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing! 52 at MLI 24 hours ago at this time....Heavy snow and East winds between 30-40 mph a few hours later last night. Along with widespread thundersnow and thundersleet.

Chicago Storm Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Watching reports come in... Looks like there was a swath of 9-14" in an axis on either side of an Independence, IA-DeWitt, IA-Morrison, IL. Then another swath of 8-14" in an axis from north of PIA-Roanoke-Paxton-Danville and into IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I finished with 8.0" of snow from 1.28" liquid, which makes the ratio a pretty lousy 6.3 to 1. I'm sure the ratios were better farther north. This is my first 8-inch snowstorm in four years, and only the second in eight years. It really shouldn't be that difficult to get 8 inches.

Yeah pretty wild. And almost on the EXACT same date 3/25/13. Indianapolis. Second highest one day total for the month of March with the top being March 19th 1906 at 12.1”.

Haven't had a flake or a drop in this storm but have seen some weird stuff and for some reason I'm enjoying it! http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=IND-N0Q-1-12 That was wicked cool to me too...and just like you, sitting on the fringes of nothing, this was entertaining to watch unfold. My only true complaint was the obnoxious east winds here today. Brutal to work out in, lol. 4 hours ago, cyclone77 said: Had to work all day lol. WHAT A STORM!! Some of the heaviest wet snow I've ever seen. When you're out walking in the falling snow it feels like rain. Measured an average of 9.6" here, but I'm guessing at least a foot actually fell but settled. I measured 6.4" at 5:10 am before I left for work. That early morning band completely smoked us, and laid down a nice base. The intense bands that moved in around 1pm and stalled were extremely intense. Very cool, man.

janetjanet998 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 roads are a mess especially over the north half of the the PIA metro I had 3 inches of snow on my car this morning when I left for work and none/very little on my road....when I got back there was 9-10 on my unplowed street..with cars getting stuck...at least one partial roof collapse reports say 9 inches in peoria city but I assume that was a final measurement after the snow stopped with lots of compacting and some melting...very dense heavy wet snow If one would have taken a snowboard measurement every six hours and clear it and add the totals up I suspect closer to 11-12 fell ....you can tell it was very convective since I have more snow at my place then a couple of miles away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Had 4" on my car this morning. Cleared it all off. After I left work which is very near where I live I had another 5-6". So definitely in the 9-10" range. Snow compacted so we likely had more. Great banding today with snowfall rates easily at or exceeding an inch per hour. Surprised we didn't get lightning but seems like the better frontogenesis was north of here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Temps have risen a few degrees this evening up to 34. There's been some additional melting/compaction, with snow depth generally around 8" now. It's a VERY dense 8" though. I'm gonna go with 11" for here for my "official" amount. My 9.6" from earlier was after a day's worth of melting/compaction, and there was a report from in town of 11" so I'll just go with that. I'm confident if I could have boarded this one in an official manner we would have had 11-12"+. We've had heavier snows in the past, but this one will rank up there as one of my favorites to be sure. After a pretty mediocre season (except that stretch in Feb) to get pegged by such a thread-the-needle event is truly a blessing. Glad to see areas like Peoria, Champaign, and especially Indy get in on this action today as well. Long overdue for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
