cyclone77 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Looks like an inch on the grass type of an event tomorrow afternoon/evening. As expected the NAMs have slowly reduced QPF in the final hours leading up to the event per usual this season. An uptick in QPF on the guidance in the final 12hrs before the event would be more surprising than waking up tomorrow to see that covid 19 has vanished overnight across the globe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd prefer a ring of fire pattern with 65 degree dews and evening grill outs at this point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hopefully winter's last hurrah tonight. Maybe a couple of stat padding slushy inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 2" will put us above 55" for the winter making it the snowiest winter at YYZ since 08-09 lol. Pretty sad if you think about it. Hopefully it's the last. I'm ready for Spring.

cyclone77 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Pixie dust has commenced, with a temp at 36. There have been several reports of 1/2 mile or less vis in snow in southern/southeast Iowa the past few hours, so it may rip for awhile. Looks like 1.5-2" on the grass on the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I should get into the snow, but up here I'm only expecting a couple tenths on the grass, if we get any accumulation. We have climbed into the mid to upper 30s, so the timing is not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Been snowing fairly nicely the past 25 mins, with decent flake size. However, despite the temp dropping a few degrees it's not sticking at all even on the grass. If it were January even at these temps we'd have a nice coating by now.

Hoosier Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Just starting to whiten here a little bit. When rates aren't great, getting past peak heating is your friend at this time of year so I imagine the accumulation efficiency will improve an hour or two before sunset.

Gonna have to revise the above to maybe a few tenths if we can get snow to fall after sundown. The ground is now all wet so it would take a decent period of +SN to get a dusting during the daylight. Barely snowing atm. On the plus side at least it snowed during the day while I was off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could tell it was on the verge of it 45mins ago or so while it was coming down nicely. Now we are prob at about 2 mile vis with pixies, grass just wet.

Chicago WX Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 No issues sticking to the grass here. And other elevated surfaces as well. Got 1/2 inch on my grill so far. We've been in the better banding though. Nice steady snow continues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it helped, but temps didn't get as high here as was forecasted, before the snow started. Yesterday was a solid underachiever as well. Of course pretty consistent good rates here, doing some work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Already 2-3” reports just south of I-80, in the vicinity of Joliet. That area will likely over-perform in the 3-5” range, given what’s left to go. 1-3” area wide still looks good outside of that area. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Not sure what the problem was here. The 2hr period of 2+ mile vis snow prob didn't help. Some steadier snows have moved in, and for the first time the grass is starting to whiten. Going to make for a riveting time lapse lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
