Chicago WX Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Measured 7.3" here. Got about half the driveway shoveled. It's not wet snow per se, but pretty dense. Snow picking back up now too. Looks like the HRRR, RAP, and NAM's want to put down another 2-4" today. Need the top to verify...but dd's in play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that puts ORD back over seasonal average for the date of 19.1" Quite a run and would guess a shot at exceeding seasonal totals. Considering Hoosiers list of anemic starts very few rebounded but this one has a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owensnow Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 4 hours ago, MIstorm97 said: Dry air stanks Snow hasn’t been able to make it north of that line. 00z DTX sounding had a very dry layer just above the surface. So far that’s still winning out. Probably will be a real struggle to get more than 1.5” -2” total. Yeah fail scenario coming to life here I believe as well in Kingsville Ontario not even .5 inches here yet and radar is dying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not going to be all that much lower than expected across this area. PIA is at 1.42" as of 6AM, and about 0.50" at ORD with a good amount more to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm at 5.4" this morning compared to just 3.8" at the MSN airport which is about 10 mi. NE of me. I see a 5.8" report from Verona which is closer to me than MSN airport so there's support for that. I've bettered the airport by an inch or two on each of the last three storms here. I'll check total depth later but it should be around 14-15" as it was 10" before the snow started yesterday. This is the best string of storms in several years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIstorm97 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Picked up 1.3” on the board before snow shut off. Should be it for a while. May get some minor accumulations tomorrow from the storm as the northern edge of snow wraps back in. As expected, dry air won out here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the updates. Maybe HRRR wasn’t completely off it’s rocker this time for the lake effect potential. At least for SE WI; as NE IL yet to be fully realized.
