Chicago Storm Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 3 minutes ago, cyclone77 said: Only thing I can think of is it was pretty foggy before, and at the onset of precip. Maybe the high saturation "water logged" the flakes as they hit the melting layer (around 500ft) and caused rapid melting? All snow here now, and ripping pretty nicely. That could be a very good point. Wet bulb temps are also above 32 across a large area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Man Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Where exactly is the rain/snow line? I can confirm that the depiction on RadarScope is not accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Snow is pouring down here, medium flakes. Half inch so far, and sticking to paved surfaces as well. Trees are coating up nicely. Wish it could do this all night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! I wish they did more updates and "nowcasts" during events like this but know they have an actual job to do! Today's was a great AFD. ...near Warning criteria snowfall before all is said and done, somewhere in the I-90 corridor vicinity across parts of Kane, McHenry, Lake, and far northwest Cook County. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the crappy rain is gone, this thing looks great on radar if you are north of I-88. Precip is also starting to fill in south along I-47. Aurora to Downtown Chicago has been the southernmost extent of the snow for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this last wave was optimized for your area. Still snowing quite nicely here as well. Snow is fairly wet, so ratio is prob around or a bit under 10:1. Flake size is medium, but pouring down nicely. About an inch of fairly dense new snow so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
