Still, point stands…overnight snows were greater than 10:1. Didn't have time to look then. Had seen some LSRs with snow amounts but not liquid equivalent.

Powerball Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Looking at posts on Twitter, roads in/around Detroit don't seem to be as bad as you'd expect. That's perhaps the saving grace with temps around 32-34*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very beautiful out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Have had a couple hours of decent rates and better dendrites here. Guessing 1/4”-1/2” an hour. I know it’s not really the same system the rest of the sub-forum is experiencing but I’d hate to feel left out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Felt like this event exceeded our low expectations for northern Illinois. Some positive vibes as we kick off this active stretch. The higher ratios early this morning were interesting, because the snow definitely didn't feel light and fluffy when shoveling this morning. It also wasn't true cement though. We had strong omega well aligned with the DGZ, and steep lapse rates above the DGZ during the heaviest snowfall rates. The lift was associated with an upper jet streak and a mid-level fgen circulation. At onset last night, flake size was small, as the strongest lift was above the DGZ. A couple hours later, we had good alignment, and flake size improved, supporting the at or above climo ratios, despite surface temperatures hovering near freezing. This was yet another example of the challenge of snow ratio forecasting. Even if you have somewhat marginal temps, the sounding will often be a bigger driver of the ratios (Saturday night-Sunday was another example of higher than expected ratios). The Cobb output can help in these setups, vs. the Kuchera actually being too low. 10:1 maps appeared they did well enough for this event since they were higher than the Kuchera ratios. Of course once temps warmed and rates diminished late this morning and this afternoon, we've had essentially white rain, so the effective ratios are well below the Kuchera. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 A few of the models overdid the snow here, on the nw edge. I only got 0.6". The trailing energy dropping in from the north now may also produce its snow a bit farther east. I might get another 0.5" tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 At 4" now. Last bit of good returns are pushing away. Expecting at least a couple more inches tomorrow but could be more if a dominant lake band sets up just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
