I was trying to remember the last storm that I saw 10"+...and pretty sure it's Jan 5, 2014. This storm won't do it either for me, so the wait will go on...but geez, that's really awful. That would probably be it. Mine was 2/24/16. Can't remember when you moved back to IKK but even if you were there for that 2016 storm, they didn't get nearly as much as areas just northeast. I've mentioned it before but this gradient was crazy for a synoptic system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nov 2015 was about 8" here, so I thought I'd see one quickly. I was wrong, lol. And I do remember that Feb 2016 storm. Such a super close miss. Eastern edge of the county here got buried.

KokomoWX Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 A small squall ahead of the main system has coated everything. We were 34 at the start but it fell as snow and in less than an hour we have dropped to 30. The 1” rates in Indy have me excited. Snow reports all the way back to Bloomington, IN and Terre Haute. Feeling primed for an over performer. HRRR has been pumped for the area the past few runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it will remain a mystery now lol. HRRR has all snow here at 5pm, so it's obviously not handing the changeover well. Most other guidance has us all snow by 7-8pm at the latest so hopefully that works out. Would be a lot more frustrating if we didn't just have the 6"er last Monday.

TheNiño Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The lake is angry here in SE Wisconsin. No measurements but I’d estimate 30mph sustained winds on the direct lakefront. video: https://imgur.com/gallery/aeERmUj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owensnow Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Personally I think where I am sitting (North shore of Lake Erie, Kingsville, ON, 3-8 inches by end of Monday. There are more pieces of energy at play for Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 20 minutes ago, madwx said: It's not really a dryness thing here, its more just a slower progression northward of the forcing for precip. Getting reports of drizzle on the SW side of Madison so we just need the forcing to arrive(probably in an hour or so) and well be golden. It's definitely dry here at 28/18. Was hoping to add at least a little to the snowpack. It looks like the backside deformation zone will be closer to you later tonight into tomorrow morning. Here the front end is all we're going to get as the upper low is forecast to fizzle as the energy transfers to the mid-atlantic. I'll be surprised if I eek 2 inches from this. You'll probably do a little better as you'll at least have a decaying deformation band overhead for a little bit of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Given the amount of blowing snow we are already seeing, should be able to knock the visibility down to around 1/4 mile in the heavier banding. If not at the reporting sites, then in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
