It's very slowly, but steadily adding up. A bit over 2" now. Temp has been hovering at 31 for 6+hrs. I didn't realize it was in the low 30s over there. It appears Moline is reporting 33. We hit 28 earlier, but we're down to 21. I was at 2.1 inches a half hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Despite the great rates in this band, when I open the door I can hear a good amount of dripping from the roof which tells me we're flirting with popping above 32 up here in Lake County.

Shortly after my last post it started pouring nice large dendrites as some bright bands have moved in. It's adding up pretty nicely atm. Still coming straight down. The trees are caked up enough the limbs are sagging similar to a freezing rain event. Could be some power outages in several hrs when the north winds pick up.

Beautiful I put it in the clipper thread where it belongs. I thought I was in there to begin with lol. Anyways, I'm at about 2.5" so far in IC and we have a really good band fixing to move in. We've got a really nice shot at a 6" snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benadrill Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'm actually happy for once that it is not snowing. We don't need anymore for awhile after the last storm. Congrats to everyone north/west tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Puking snow here, best rates of the event for sure. Probably just exceeding 1”/hr. Finally got some good dendrites to boot, this band is gonna fluff up nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 3.2" as of 12:15am. Seeing wild variations between rapid accumulating periods under the bright bands, and very slow rates outside of those. Under the bright bands the flakes are considerably larger, and the snow just gushes down. Outside of that it's a very weak-sauce pixie dust fest. Temp has dropped back to 29 now, and the wind is starting to stir a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 0.5" at ORD thus far. Has been rain there for a while now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Rain currently under light returns. Have been flipping back to snow under better returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILwxchr Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Picked up probably 0.10" to 0.15" of freezing rain this morning, followed by a lot of rain that only froze on the pavement. Now we are seeing some fat flakes. I'm going with around 2" for here at home (Galesburg) before its all said and done later today. Not a blockbuster storm or even really that impressive, but its something I suppose. Onto later this week I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimillman Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Snowpack definitely took a beating but the parks are still covered. Whatever is left will crust over quickly as temps drop over next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 MLI with 6.8" so far, impressive. DMX office at 6.6", 4-6" seems to be common in between. Not sure how I fared quite yet, will go out and measure once this final band moves through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Up to 5.4" with snow still coming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Around 6 inches down and now coming down heavy again. We had a nice rally band around the 4 a.m. hour that tipped the scales - school called off. Maybe we make a run at 8 inches based on what's still upstream.Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King James Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Rained all night. It’s an absolute mess of ice, snow, and ponding out my way. Not even going to try the roads today. Sump pump kicking on every 5 minutes. Just awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda surprised how much ice is still on the pavement this morning. Truly truly a big mess, and only will get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I got totally screwed by this dud. I only have 3.8 inches. I think I spent more time in dry pockets than in snow bands. This was supposed to be the center of the heavy band. The last two storms were expected to drop 6-8" here, but instead the two combined only dropped about 8".

michaelmantis Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Looks like we got about 3 inches, not sure how much rain filtered in but doesn’t look like a lot. Snowing decently now. Roads look a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyweather Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I hate to say anything for fear of messing it up, but Rockford has been a pretty good place to be, both this year and the last few seasons. We have wound up in the narrow jackpot bands a little more often than I would say statistical odds should support. Maybe climo is involved in a way I don’t understand. Building up a very nice snowpack, and the current model porn once again shows us in the heart of max accumulations over the upcoming period. Storm total imby about 6” and continuing to accumulate.

ams30721us Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 This will by far be my favorite storm of the season! Likely will end with totals between 7-9 inches total. Went to bed last night around 10pm with heavy wet snow falling, and awoke to heavy wet snow still falling a few moments ago, looking like a perfect snow globe scene. All of this after being modeled way to far south for any decent snow up through the final hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
