Chicago Storm Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Looks like we have a 981MB SLP in E IL currently. So it most definitely will end up sub-980MB as it continues into IN/MI. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe 981.9mb at KIND will be a new minimum MSLP record for January, breaking 1978's record of 984.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelmantis Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The slop finally is hidden by actual snow. Been going pretty good for a half hour or so. Best flakes of the event so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Note to future self: WAA snows in a marginal antecedent airmass close to a warm lake will always suck regardless of what the models say. Finally starting to crank out there and sticking too. Looking for 2" or bust. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It's interesting that multiple locations set their January low pressure record today, mostly beating the bliz of '78 and those new records could get beat in three days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 As we approach 10 inches, the general condition is much worse than this morning. This morning the flakes were big and they were not blowing much. Now the flakes are small and a bit drier and the wind is howling. Snow is whipping off roofs and visibility is low. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvck Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 So far about 1.3 inches of rain today, is up to 50 now. Pressure is 980mb, lowest I've seen since installing the weather station about six months ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
