Hoosier Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Afternoon LOT afd mentioned possible 0.25"+ band of ice but confidence too low for warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one had higher snow amounts in the area though. I had about 8" of snow, a half inch or so of sleet and a really minor glaze of ice (was in Lake IN back then about 5 miles from where I am now) as the heavier ice was literally only a few miles south. That was just a moisture firehose... go back and look at radars from back then. How come you don't go for you pilots license? More than half of the knowledge is weather based - you'd enjoy it I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back edge is already approaching , but we should get another couple hours of good snow. Just remember it’s daytime ripping snow which you didn’t think you’d see a few days ago (when you thought the heaviest may fall at night). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoalCityWxMan Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Latest runs of some hi res guidance keep temps below freezing throughout the entirety of the event for along/north of 88. If we can’t get some of the snow/ice to melt off powerlines & trees before CAA kicks in tomorrow along with potential 40+ mph gusts it may be an issue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 snowing. LOT actually lowered totals for Dupage county. 1-4" on afternoon package from 3-5" this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 It's subtle but the HRRR keeps incrementally delaying the northward progress of the 32F line. Whether this is what actually happens, time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Man Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Snow has begun IMBY. Gonna roll with my previous call of 4.4" of snow from the last storm. The less ice the better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toro99 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Can anyone who is more knowledgeable than me, explain why GRR went with an advisory versus a warning? Most models have a lot of their CWA receiving 6 inches or more in 12 hours tonight, and certainly 8 inches plus in 24 hours when the lake affect kicks in later on Saturday. Add that to the fact that this is going to be the most significant snow we’ve had all year, wouldn’t be prudent to go with a warning? Is it the timing of the snow, overnight? Or is it just GRR being GRR? Thanks in advance . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 +SN right now. Over 2” down based on shoveling eyeballs and stacking fast. Our snow depth was 5” before the storm hopefully we can overachieve but I’m thinking 6ish max here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Another 1.3" last hour, up to 3.9" total. Radar returns are generally weaker and not as solid to the west, but we could hit 5". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 snowing. LOT actually lowered totals for Dupage county. 1-4" on afternoon package from 3-5" this morning.Most of the county still in 3-4" range on our graphic with part of south in 2-3". I'm not sure I would've lowered totals based on trends but it was only a small adjustment and with the WWA out at this point it is what it is.
