hawkeye_wx Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I picked up 2.2" from the first wave. The snow seems fairly fluffy. I was hoping light snow would continue all night, but it looks mostly over. Maybe I can pick up a couple more inches if the wave 2 defo band can get up here in decent shape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Some nice snow globe action with some nice enhanced blobs of snow returns moving through. Pushing an inch now and adding up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has your temp been like? LOT was saying that ratios upstream were running less than 10:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOT was saying that ratios upstream were running less than 10:1 We peaked at 30-31º, then fell back to 29º during the better snow. With the snow done, it's back to 30º.

cyclone77 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 New Euro drops 0.7-0.8" of precip mainly in the form of snow on the QCA through late Sat. Even with <10:1 LSRs that would still yield over 5" of snow. Thinking the 2-4" call will bust low, and 4-7" would likely be the better call for the official total. Due to melting/compaction/lull periods the net accumulation will still likely be <4" however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 even euro down to 3 or so lakeside and dropping each run, gonna be another $$$ call looking like cyclone will play the detroit role this storm and manage a decent hit from a dud setup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will actually remove existing snow from the ground. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Looks like even the slush will be tough to come by if you believe the model trends. Not over yet though; maybe models will trend back colder. QPF AOA 1" so still a sig storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, with the proximity to the lake, probably smart to always hedge towards a shittier (re:warmer/rainer) solution in his back yard for these muddled events. Really need a nice wrapped up bomb to jackpot him with some lake enhancement to pull him back on the optimism train. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
