wisconsinwx Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 1.7" as of 755pm. North Chicago burbs already doubling up on this total (for people who think I was talking out of my behind with Chicago area outsnowing Milwaukee). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimillman Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Quiet now downtown ahead of this band. Waiting for the finale before the changeover. This band should put down what I’d imagine to be 1-2” before the changeover. Should end nicely within that 2-4” range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Won't measure again until it's about to mix, but looks like fairly close to 3" now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just shoveled the walk out front. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten used to snow on top of a layer of liquid, but this is a pretty powdery dry snow. Definitely not the 8:1 ratios mentioned earlier in the thread. Sucks that it’ll rain on top of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Came up with an average depth of 4.8". Very difficult measuring event. Had to take many more measurements than normal. A heavy/driving sleet falling right now. Very loud against the east facing windows. The sleet, and small bit of freezing rain has completely shut off the blowing/drifting of the snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should square another half hour of flakes before the kitchen sink starts This must be how it feels to be in the northeast during one of their coastal events. Not very often we get several inches followed by a decent period of sleet/freezing rain. Usually it's a bit of snow followed by lots of mixed crap, or dry slot, etc. Kind of hard to get a solid front end thump it seems in these parts. Enjoyable storm! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 About 2 1/4" of snow so far. Getting into a lull and hopefully the banding to the south holds together so we can add another inch or so before the change over ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Ricky was talking about this yesterday but per meso the 925 freezing line is outrunning the 850, which actually looked like it retreated some. Think it was the NAM that was showing this yesterday and also the very dry air from the surface to a couple thousand feet. Gonna completely bust on the 1-3 inches of snow here. Looks like pinger town to ZR to cold wet muck. Just starting to get some very fine liquid/nano pingers here freezing as it lands. Going to be a weird next few hours around here.
