A-L-E-K Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 about an inch of dust so far, should barely hit or just under perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Just over an inch here. The drifts are actually quite impressive, 6-10” in spots which I was not expecting. Just about to catch a flight to go skiing. I’ll be back in a week and expect only gains to this snowpack! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 1.1" of very cold, dry powder here. It's difficult to get a lot of snow when it's -6º. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 nice gentle light snow falling. BROAD MAINLY LIGHT SNOW STARTS OFF THE SATURDAY ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA. MORE FREQUENT MODERATE RATES ARE LIKELY BY LATER THIS MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON AS STRONGER AND DEEPER FORCING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE MOVES OVERHEAD. A GREATER PROPENSITY FOR TEMPORARY SUB 1 1/2SM VISIBILITY IS SEEN IN OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS UPSTREAM AND THE METEOROLOGICAL INGREDIENTS WE LOOK AT, SO CONFIDENCE WAS ENOUGH TO INTRODUCE A TEMPO FOR 1SM VISIBILITY AND 1,000 FT CEILINGS IN SNOW. LOWER ON BOTH CONDITIONS IS POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME. ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL FROM 12Z THROUGH 00Z TODAY OF 1 TO 2 INCHES IS PRESENTLY EXPECTED AT THE AIRPORTS.

Owensnow Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 And just like that it goes waaay north again and these models are having a hell of a time with this in SEMI and SW Ontario hopefully that’s a signal for the next two storms they will be further north west and we will actually get some snow that wasn’t predicted.

frostfern Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Light snow, but decent flake size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 some larger dendrites here now. LOT update: SNOW INTENSITY WILL GRADUALLY WANE THIS MORNING GIVING ROAD CREWS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE HEADWAY IN THEIR CLEARING EFFORTS. HOWEVER, A NEW AREA OF STEADY SNOW IS EXPECTED TO FLARE THIS AFTERNOON (LOOKING AT THE 1-4 PM WINDOW) AS A SECONDARY UPPER-LEVEL JET MAX PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST. WE ARE ALREADY SEEING SIGNS OF THE SECOND FLARE ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI AND CENTRAL IOWA - THAT WILL BE THE FEATURE TO TRACK AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. SNOW WILL THEN END FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER SUNSET 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanis Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Steady moderate snow for the past 45 mins or so. Best rates of the event so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Multiple reports of 5-6" in northern Porter county. This bodes well for the upcoming setup as lake parameters only get better for the 15th-16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSNOW Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 KLOT aviation update A lull in the IFR visibility reducing snow for many areas, except in NW IN and near the lake, has occurred this morning in wake of a leading band overnight into the morning hours. There is a more organized band of snow associated with a secondary upper level jet stream will lead to an uptick in snow at least for a couple of hours this afternoon across the northern IL terminals. Expect ceilings, which have increased to MVFR or even low end VFR to dip back into MVFR or a lower MVFR then currently. Vis may drop back to 3/4SM in this snow with medium-high confidence. Snow rates of 3/4" to 1" per hour may be possible in this band of dry snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
