Cuteirishgirl25 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I don’t trust it either, but you never know, remember what happened when everybody predicted a couple inches for our area and we ended up with 10 inches.

So you just never know I only got 6 or 7 in Fairfield. It's like, I felt shorted. Either way, I know what you mean. I could see 5-6, don't get me wrong, but I also know that when all the models thought we'd see a foot, we got 2 inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamarsden8 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 So after viewing the radar, it looks like unless some disappears, it should snow for 6-8 hours at least (maybe more). If we see rates of 0.5 inches per hour, that's 3-4 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RADAR IMAGERY INDICATES THAT LAKE ENHANCEMENT IS UNDERWAY OVER MUCH OF THE CHICAGO AREA. THIS IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN SOME LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW RATES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. THEREAFTER, WE SHOULD BEGIN TO LOSE THE BETTER SYNOPTIC SCALE SUPPORT LATER THIS MORNING, SO RATES SHOULD GRADUALLY EASE. FORECAST GUIDANCE HAS NOT BEEN HANDLING THIS LAKE ENHANCEMENT WELL, BUT CURRENT TRENDS SUGGEST THAT SOME ISOLATED ACCUMULATIONS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS COULD APPROACH 2 INCHES IN SOME AREAS NEAR THE LAKE. SINCE THIS WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE MORNING COMMUTE, WE HAVE ISSUED AN SPS AND A GRAPHIC CAST TO MESSAGE THIS CONCERN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Saw some early signs that the band was trying to form on BUF radar but it's since fizzled. This was well ahead of schedule though anyway; once better moisture arrives and shear is reduced it should get going by early p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Wintry appeal at its finest with dendrites drifting down and sun glinting off them. Pure fluff with an inch here. Second photo is the top of the recycling bin. Stuff is so airy you can blow it off. The goods. I took a slow-mo but file size is too big to post unfortunately.

A-L-E-K Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville IL 817 AM CST Thu Feb 18 2021 ILZ006-013-103-104-181800- Lake IL-DuPage-Northern Cook-Central Cook- Including the cities of Waukegan, Buffalo Grove, Mundelein, Gurnee, Naperville, Wheaton, Downers Grove, Lombard, Carol Stream, Evanston, Des Plaines, Schaumburg, Palatine, Northbrook, Chicago, Cicero, Oak Lawn, Oak Park, and La Grange 817 AM CST Thu Feb 18 2021 ...Snow Continues This Morning With Slick Travel... Light, but steady, snowfall, will continue this morning and possibly into the early afternoon hours due to enhancement from the lake. Overall rates will remain light, but will be enough to accumulate on elevated, less-traveled, and grassy surfaces resulting in slick travel. In addition, visibility will be reduced to a mile or less at times. Drivers are advised to leave extra time to reach their destinations this morning. Reduce speed and increase following distance when driving in snow. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
