Chicago916 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Very small flake size in the city still but it got a lot heavier the last few minutes, backed up by radar returns too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Continuing to cherry pick one spot, the HRRR is still 4 degrees too warm as of 19z at ARR. 27/24 vs 31/28 in HRRR land. So that low snow totals screw zone that continues to be modeled out the western burbs/srn Kane co shouldn't be that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Our event in CR is going surprisingly well. I haven't measured, but a moderate to heavy band has been parked over us for a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

featherwx Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Light dusting on most but not all non-paved surfaces after about an hour of pretty decent returns in Hyde Park, ~1 mile from the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely going to bust low. Possibly they were looking at the high res short term models like the HRRR. Also, there's a pocket of dry air on the DVN radar but it's filling in slowly.

Malacka11 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Flake size is garbunkle now but the roads are turning entirely white slowly, I guess temps are finally low enough now. Should rip nicely when better synoptic snows move into the vicinity. Love the wind. Got a nice four or five inch drift on a little roof alcove on the ol humble abode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
