cyclone77 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 First subzero reading of the season this morning here at -2. Getting a few flurries now and again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Got down to 0 last night. A couple chances at subzero lows the next two nights but this stretch is looking milder than it did a few days ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen noticeable differences between my place and the west loop in these set ups. Well, LOT pulled the trigger on an advisory for Porter but mentioned some concern/uncertainty on westward extent of band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Still wouldn't be surprised to see a localized 3-6" somewhere near the shore, but more generally should be a 1-3" type thing. These amounts mostly favored in Lake/Porter though possibly clipping Cook.WWA for Porter County. Still a good amount of uncertainty close in, as latest HRRR is earlier to focus the convergence into Lake County, and actually has slightly higher amounts in eastern Lake than within Porter County. It then goes onto scrape the Cook County shore with the band.NAMnest on other hand primarily focuses on Porter County much of the time and never gets the heart of the banding over Lake County and misses Cook County altogether.

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Based on latest runs and trying to extrapolate radar, I think the band may be out of much of Porter county around midnight except maybe west. It looks like there are some fairly intense showers in there so the advisory should work out. Then the question is if it semi-stalls out around eastern Lake/western Porter for a while or continues to steadily shift west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Got tickled by the southern edge of that plume off lake Michigan and got .75 of snow, more than Fridays storm lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Models are slightly too far east with the lake band. The below 9 pm CST position on the HRRR isn't going to work out unless it actually were to creep east in the next hour. Looking upstream over the lake, echoes are basically pointed right at Porter county and into the Porter/Laporte border area. So adjust the timing for a quicker westward move than this, at least in the short term. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Wife and I decided to hit the Seasons restaurant downtown Hastings for dinner. Heading across the SMI countryside around dusk the snow scape was pristine whiteness with the sun about to set. I'd almost forgotten how beautiful a real winter's day can be. Plow banks were a good 2 ft high there as well. Got me wanting to see more of this snowy action. 6F currently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Winds have flipped offshore in southwest MI and also turned northeast around Michigan City. Land breeze in action. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I had a feeling this would be a crappy weekend since this past week was that kind of week sunshine was hard to come by. Wall-to-wall overcast skies with a soaker yesterday followed by a raw overcast Sunday with temps in the mid teens the entire day and mood flakes.

Hoosier Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Might as well throw out the HRRR. Run after run initializes too far east with the band. Not sure if advisory has/will be met in Porter county. Heavier echoes now into far northeastern Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Low of 1F, and another 0.5” of fluff last night to grease up the roads. Snow depth at 9” this is peak winter right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is stretching it lol. Had about a half inch when I left this morning. Been snowing lightly since then so should at least eclipse the 1" mark. Notable thing in this winter.

Due to the extreme water content, the snowbanks are far more impressive than would typically be seen for this amount of snow. Some of them are downright massive, making smaller parking lots look like the mall lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Snow showers off and on yesterday added 0.4" fresh snow. Beautiful sunrise on a cold mid winter morning today. This is the weather ive been waiting for! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it looks like today could be it for the next 2-3 weeks in terms of traditional winter weather - although we could get some snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I notice that in milder winters, i really maximize my time outdoors when there is the deep winter feel. Ive been outside more the past week than i am in a month during the heat of summer. . Ive also seen city workers trying to chip away at some of the corner snowbanks. It will be interesting to see how long these glaciers last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Lots of melting going on today, with a temp of 35 at the moment. Temps are about the same as yesterday, but for some reason it seems the snow is melting faster. Our 3" of new snow between the last few nights is mostly gone, but the original 4" of glacier remains, and should be much slower to melt than the newer snows were. Looks like a fresh dusting tonight, and that could be it for quite awhile as we head into another benign stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Surprisingly there hasn't been a lot of melting here with temps in the mid 30s. This glacier has some high moisture content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 My January snowfall total is up to 13.9", which makes this the third snowiest of the last thirteen Januarys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
