If you can believe it, we actually switched to sleet/heavily rimed small flakes for about 15 minutes. Back to all snow now. I was curious to see how much we picked in the hour since my last measurement, and we had 1.4". So, not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Now that we have switched, all our precip is rapidly drying out. This storm is going to be a significant underperformer. Just 15 miles to my north, it is ripping hard in a very persistent heavy band. I suspect it is producing some subsidence and causing returns to it's immediate south and east to peter out. Unbelievably bad luck with this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, dry slot about to enter CR and thus ending the snow. Final call on snow totals here is 2 to 2.5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Lights have been flickering here the past half hour or so. Snow is sticking to the ice on the trees even with the wind. Looks like a good half inch so far. HRRR/3km NAM show another 0.3" or so of precip, so hope to end up in that 3-4" range. Not as epic as places east are getting but respectable.

Nah, you guys will get 3-4 easy. Light snow will persist overnight and into the morning. Thinking even IC, which has been screw zone central so far with this system will still pick up 2.5-3" of snow through noon tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
