fluoronium Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Only squeezed out an inch of slush last night, even though there are substantially higher reports nearby. Looks like the backside snows might make up for the dud WAA band however. Snowing now, even though models had it switching to rain here by now.

Heavy bands are pretty transient Hoping the ground dries out quickly here so Thursday mood flakes don’t melt on contact 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Currently not accumulating on treated roads. Need some 1-2” per hour rates to make this interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciascia Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It’s been snowing, but nothing too major. Still seeing some patches of sidewalk. Hoping that 1-5pm period is the high point that it’s advertised to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I'm at 7.3 inches. Heavy bands are expanding over me, so we have a real shot at 10 inches. It's a beautiful snow, too. Wet, but fluffy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravisWx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Temps slowly drifting lower. Had some initial fluffy snow around 10:30am for a half hour. Then transitioned to light rain. Heavy band of snow knocking on the door now, should be here within an hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just a Petoskey last week. It was crazy seeing so little snow. Thankfully that is finally over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not your sweet summer child and I dunno what 10 hours you are referring to lol. While detroit always seems to get in on pingers, I don't recall having 10 hours of it. I remember ghd 11 was a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cary67 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Been lightly snowing for awhile. Not really accumulating. Maybe an inch down. 3.8" call looking good if not robust. The road to 20-25" seasonal totals continues Edit: moderate snow starting to accumulate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Raining snowballs now. These things are massive. Not the widest I've seen, but they are very dense and barely icier than slush. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had pingers for the entire storm last year when area's to my south were getting a massive ice storm. So it definitely can happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford's closing that gap and will take the lead in no time: https://www.mystateline.com/skytrack-rockford/ It's kind of snowing here now... big gloopy flakes coming straight down that look like raindrops in the puddles. Nothing like that webcam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 My photo doesn't show how hard it is snowing. I received 1.3" in the last hour, now up to 8.6". The snow has dried a bit and the wind is really gusting, so it is much nastier than just an hour ago. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 After wavering around the metro area for a while, the R/S line is finally crashing back southeastward. Areas closer to the lake in E Lake and Cook Co's will still have to fight the lake influence for a while longer though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
