Frog Town Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 According to the 18Z GFS, this thing is just getting started with more coming later tomorrow?? Some of the local offices hinting at this actually happening, but has the GFS now confirmed it?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Only about 1.3" here. Down to just flurries for now. Hoping the radar fills in again downstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Snow started with a Bang here, probably nearing an inch and roads in very back condition. Temperatures fell from 29 to 25ﾟ once the snow started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knifeparty Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Starting to cover the grass here on the westside of Chicago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddyweather Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Quite a lot of sleet on the ground here. Kinda depressing tbh. Main snow bands missed to the north by 20 miles or so, best FZRA is to my south. Got the cursed end of warm tongue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been any winter weather at all along and south of I-70 since December 17th. Consider yourself lucky to be getting sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 0z HRRR is about as good as it gets on this side of the lake, for lake effect snow duration/quality. Obviously a bit of synoptic snow in the totals below, but most of it is LES. Also, LES is still ongoing, with a re-newed push incoming at the end of the run. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if that purple moved about 30 miles NW I’d be happy but with this winter I would just be happy to get a fresh coat of white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But trusting a short term model that suddenly pulled that type of swing on a lake event is far from certain, I'm hoping to get 2-3" out of this whole event.

MIstorm97 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Sitting at exactly 0.5" so far. Numerous accidents because the roads are icy and apparently people can't drive for sh*t. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Latest NAM 3km and HRRR are interesting with that secondary low. Both have shifted further north and now HRRR has ~7" for the GTA by Friday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, that cut off is sharp. 9.1 to 0.9 in 20 miles (as the crow flies). Someone along the lake is going to get an extra dollop I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
