cyclone77 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Actually snowing pretty decently now. Nice dendrites snow globing down. Have accumulated a few tenths of fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 After an inch and change of snow, dry slotted. Up until yesterday morning it looked like right now would be the main show and tonight-Friday would be a coating at best. Now, it's been flipped around. Great work models. I actually took today off work to avoid the crap commute and tomorrow I'll be stuck in it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 SYNOPTIC SCALE SNOW WILL GIVE WAY TO SCATTERED LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW (LES) SHOWERS LATE MORNING THROUGH MID-AFTERNOON. LATE THIS AFTERNOON, AND ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING, LES INTENSITY IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS INVERSION HEIGHTS RISE AND AN AXIS OF ENHANCED LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE SETTLES OVER NORTHEAST ILLINOIS. LES MODE (SINGLE STRONG BAND VS. MULTIPLE LIGHTER BANDS) REMAINS UNCLEAR, BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF HEAVIER LES EXISTS DURING THE EVENING FOR ORD/MDW, AND AFTER MIDNIGHT FOR GYY per lot aviation afd 12z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRegionRat Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Yard measurements of 3.5" to 4.5". Wait and see on the LES. Grass is covered for the first time this winter. It looks like there was some sleet at the onset. There was a glaze of slush/ice on the sidewalks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually took today off work to avoid the crap commute and tomorrow I'll be stuck in it. Before I went to bed last night, I had a strong feeling this 1st wave was going to underperform from radar returns. This is reminding me of the event back on December 1-2. The first part was a bust as most of the precip fell as sleet and we only got an inch of snow (4-6” was forecast). However, the 2nd part of the event (snow coming from the east from the developing secondary low) later that evening into Monday morning over performed with 3-4”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Unimpressive first wave. About an inch imby. HRRR is looking decent for tonight's wave with ~2-3" down by 05z and still snowing. It will most likely be light to moderate snow as the heaviest returns remain south of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Ended up with 2.0" of 10-1 ratio sugary, sandy snow here, no fluff factor at all. DTW 1.9". Seems like most of Southeast Michigan got between 1-2". Rogue called it about the needles cutting into totals i.e. ratios. Now it looks like they deformation should hit this afternoon and tonight, if there's more fluff factor as there often is in deformation we will get more snow tonight than we did last night. Another A+ job by the models . Looks pretty out though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIstorm97 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Got 1.1” as of 12z. HRRR has an additional ~3” tonight into tomorrow, with heavy lake squalls moving toward Detroit at the end of the run. Hopefully can get this round to work out.
