They were under the heavy fronto band for about 3 hours last night. Nice! 9.4" in Horicon according to news. I just got in from plowing, I didn't measure, but its over 6". Watertown. Was snowing pretty hard when I stopped 10 mins ago. Sun actually came out for a min or 2, then clouded up again and more snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Just now, janetjanet998 said: perhaps this segment of the system (700mb with Lake enhancement) can overachieve for NE IL??? MKE in their recent discussion said they only expected another inch but since then MKE radar has filled in nicely This. Seen this occur often at the tail end of events here. Holding of on RE- snowblowing the driveway for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wttnwx Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Gotta admit, All week been watching these threads and seeing all the southern scenarios thinking, these things in years past always seemed to head north, specifically Madison, at last min. Was pretty bummed late last night when snow didn't start here until 10:30 and everything was pointing south yet. Woke up to kids school cancelled. I dont know much about weather, I just come here to see what you guys are thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see how much activity can build into GTA off the lake with the low level easterlies. Another short-term crapping of the bed by almost all the models. wouldn't be surprised if add'l accums are limited to 1" or less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

featherwx Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Really hoping this band can push just a little more south and at least get MBY in the West Town area in on the action, if not even more south to UIC where I’m at work. Gonna be tragic if we miss out on most of today’s action by just a few miles.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 17 minutes ago, mimillman said: Boy oh boy have we been screwed. Hopefully we get lucky eventually Yeah, you could say that. This was my 2nd 2" snow this season, but still waiting for a 3" snowfall. I'll have to decide whether to be generous and count whatever falls from the lake toward the storm total or as a separate entity. Temporally, it's a pretty large break in the snow here.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 2.4" at YYZ as of 18z. Even with only scraps the rest of the way should eke out low end of my forecasted 3-4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 15.5" in Davey, Nebraska. So we had 12-16" in parts of NE and IA, but too bad it couldn't come farther east as looked possible several days ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchener poster Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 2.5” on the dot in Kitchener. Maybe a couple of scraps left. For a period of time it didn’t look like a system that was limping on one leg. Had some good bursts today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduewx80 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Watch the 3-6PM period in Chicago. RAP and HRRR convergence really blow up and you can see it at MKE already. Should be a more organized/persistent band that transitions southwards and eventually parks IN tonight. Some drying is occurring aloft but I imagine it will persist there in some form. Still unsure about tomorrow but at least coastal Cook should be affected, especially S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 sun coming out here and mood flakes winding down. thinking around 6.5" here total. Anywhere between 6"-10" in the county, most NW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 6.9" final here in western Dane county. More than I thought when I first looked out the window. Couple of 10" drifts. Nice overachiever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZ up to 7 cm (3”) as of 2 pm. Snow starting to pick up in intensity here in downtown Toronto, albeit not as heavy as a few hours ago. Latest HRRR suggests we’ll somehow pick up an additional 2-3” of snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanis Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Visibility still reduced and still accumulating, albeit much more slowly. Have about an inch and a half of fresh on the driveway since I cleared it this morning. Imagine we've seen about 7"-7.5" so far, but hard to get an accurate measurement with the blowing and drifting. Rates picking up again as I type this. It's not really a packing snow. More dense and powdery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto4 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 As a follow up to my previous post, looks like some shallow lake effect snow affecting areas along the Toronto lakeshore, including the downtown core. Snow is coming down at a steady clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIstorm97 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Finally snowing again. Hoping to get to 3” total at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
