SchaumburgStormer Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Looking like a quick hitting 1-2 tonight to freshen up the snowpack. Provided shit doesn't go completely sideway with the late week system, will have a solid snowpack headed into the artic outbreak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 12z GFS with ORD below zero for 60 straight hours. Don't get above freezing through the end of the run (well 276, but you get the idea). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the lack of snow continuing over the next couple weeks (even with an upcoming "Arctic" airmass), this is a January 2020 repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 5 hours ago, hawkeye_wx said: Tonight's sneaky little wave has been improving for my area. The 12z HRRR now has a strip of 3-4" from Cedar Rapids to Dubuque. At the top of that graphic is what I'm expecting in my area. LES event underway right now, especially around Silver Bay to my NE. Radar showing an area of mod/hvy snow right where that bullseye is on the storyboard below. Modelling did a good job this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Looking at the models today, this LES event will probably be extended into Fri pm. 2nd stm system is going to keep mid levels out of the E, with E/NE surface winds. Temps tho will being dropping during that time. 1-2' not out of the question (Wed-Fri) depending on band alignment & movement. Then the LES machine focuses on the south shore (N WI/ UP MI). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not the usual lake effect snow location, see it on the northwest shore of the lake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Actually LES events happen quite regular anywhere along the shore, along with enhancement situations. They are very subject to the wx pattern as to where they end up, and each year can be a bit different. S shore of the lake have their regular belt areas on cold, northerly winds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Looks like a few flurries at best here tonight. Our dense snowpack has settled back to 3". Hope we can add a few more inches later tomorrow night and Friday before the cold hits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Nice event today as it looks like MBY will end up with ~2" . Had about an 1" of snow remaining from the Jan 9th event (actually got a couple inches from the backlash) before this one started. So hopefully not much melting prior to tomorrow event as I would like to keep these few inches on the ground before it starts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a pain for work today but at least it looks like winter for now… hoping and praying that warm nose don’t get too warm and melt everything in those few hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I finished with 2.7" last night. 3-4" fell just northeast of me. Models had it nailed pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 2.9" imby with a general 3-6" around the area. Lake band to my N netted 6-9". Still snowing good this morning. Potential for the snow to continue into Sat am. As cold N/NE winds at the surface with E/NE mid levels should create more heavy bands thanks to to the large system to the south. Currently the LP with trough is bringing synoptic snows combined with some lake enhancement, and lake bands are mainly N of me with E mid level flow. Good to see the snow pack build before bitter wx settles in for a short time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't been the winter for snow cover, so far. Hope things change. But after this storm, things dry out for the next 10 days lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
