hawkeye_wx Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 My storm total snow is 5.8 inches. I'm sure there was a bit of settling over the last 90 minutes that prevented the remaining light snow from boosting the total up to 6 inches. Overall, a solid storm, easily the biggest of the season. The four-hour lull in the middle was a bummer, but there were pretty heavy rates early and late, all viewable during good daylight. The wind was a factor, but never too terrible. There was moderate drifting on the driveway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Final band did better than I thought, picked up 1.3 more inches bringing us to 2.5" for storm. Down to just very light now so prob about it. EDIT: MLI/DVN had 1.8/3.8 at 6pm. Both probably picked up a few tenths since before it shut off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be about half-and-half here. There was drizzle mixed with the sleet as well so its real crusty slop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toss. Main convergence axis is passing downtown right now, and has been steadily shifting east. It's already fully offshore from NE Cook Co up through SE WI.

cyclone77 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 DVN slow to issue their final tally for MLI/DVN. Guessing due to their warning busting badly, again.

The band is spicy, but relatively transient. Either way it’s a top winter event for someone along the lakeshore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
