With 925 mb temps around -5C to -6C, ongoing precip and a still fairly weak mid January sun angle, I'm gonna go with no. Yeah I will go with a no as well, the lake isn't 50 degrees anymore.

homedis Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Champaign is sitting close to the heavy band but it is not moving much. I wonder if the light snow returns showing up over Champaign are actually reaching the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The low level jet is really laying us out now. So far the snow line has stayed in SEMO. Even under convective looking returns. The snow flake size has increased a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the snow flakes arrived before the pictured edge enveloped us Certainly is good news, hope that translates further east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the hrrr might be trying to continue the trend east some, wouldn’t take much of a bump for more of N IL, IN to see a couple more inches atleast.

Yeah it's nice to see the high-res models trending more towards the Euro and GFS as we get closer. Another big change that has been slowly evolving over the past few days is how much slower the storm is to get out of the area. A few days back this was looking like the snow would be exiting stage right by noon at the latest in this area. Now much of the guidance keeps snow festering into the evening hours.

ILwxchr Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I am in Macomb, IL and we are already seeing the ground covered and snowfall coming down at a constant light to moderate rate. I'm going to make a call of about 8-9 inches here by the time its said and done. I think the main show will be a deformation band tomorrow morning into afternoon as the ULL pushes to the northeast into Southern IL. Could see some hefty snowfall rates. Crazy to think that our only 2 real snow events of the season and they are both doozies (this one and November blizzard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Kind of a lull in Peoria atm. Not much falling. Could be residual dry air trying to saturate. These bands seem to be weakening some as they approach. Hopefully it kicks up later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
