sbnwx85 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I had 6 inches here on Veterans Day and would be happy to book end the season with another six incher on April 17. Would be my two biggest snows this "winter". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I'll go 4" here/DVN, and 5-5.5" for MLI. Pretty much right in line with their zone forecasts. Southern DVN cwa is gonna get smoked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Looking forward to tomorrow, with as scenic as yesterday snowfall was, I'm hoping tomorrow will be even better. A few more nudges North would not hurt either lol. To date Detroit is at 39.8" of snow on the season. The current official average is 42.5" (fwiw the 20th century avg was 40.0" and the period of record avg (1880-2019) is 41.0"). For all its wacky ups and downs this will go into the books as an average snow season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIstorm97 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Few pics from yesterday’s event. The squalls ended up being pretty photogenic once again. Ready for whatever tomorrow throws at us. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 All guidance is doing horrific in the OAX CWA currently. Several 3-7" reports in the OMA area, and still a while to go with good snows. Euro appears to be the closest, as it had 6" extending west from IA, and towards the OMA area. HRRR has failed the worst, as many runs had only 1-2" for the OMA area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 A lot of 31-32 degree readings under the heavy snow band right now. This bodes well for later on farther east. Remember there was a question about the ECMWF having slightly warmer 2m temps than other models. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 22z RAP has bumped north a bit. Now has 0.5-0.6" for here/QC. Would love to see a last minute uptick to wipe away what happened most of the winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready for whatever tomorrow throws at us. Expand Nice pics. As I posted earlier in the thread, we had very heavy snow which created picturesque scenes for a few hours, however once the snow moved out and began to melt, we only got flurries the rest of the day, missing all those squalls. As you said, let's see what tomorrow brings! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Already 5-6" reports along the IA/MO border, with quite a ways to go. A couple of 7" reports in the Omaha area as well, with snow still adding up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 On 4/14/2020 at 10:00 PM, Hoosier said: Not entirely out of the question that there could be some lake enhanced precip around northeast IL/northwest IN. Delta T and inversion heights look sufficient enough to get that going. The trade-off is that lake temps are well into the 40s now and onshore flow should result in slightly warmer temps near the lake, so because of that and the overall marginal setup, it probably won't actually add anything to the totals. Expand Maybe. Possibly. Perhaps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Top-down saturation is taking longer than expected. Models have been showing precip beginning here by 10 or so. Looks like at least another hour wait. A little nervous about 4" call for here. Temp still 39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
