February 2-3, 2022 Winter Storm here in Dallas... BTW, if the former Lafayette, IN members (Hoosier & ChicagoWX) were still actively posting, they could also attest to experiencing pingers for roughly the same length of time during GHD 2011. All of their old posts about the event are still easily searchable. Point being, after experiencing such an event, I'm fairly numb to relatively intermittent pingers now. It can be so much worse.

nwohweather Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 A little out of area, but a PDS Severe T-Storm Warning is in effect for Charleston, SC due to 70-80 MPH winds. A string of warnings in effect from Richmond, VA to Tampa, FL. Just a truly dynamic storm system on display here in the CONUS today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I'm up to 10.5". Everything is plastered with snow, including the sides of the house. Models show we have another 2.5 hours to go, but it's beginning to taper off. It's pretty awesome to have a solid defo zone parked over us all day. That is rare. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Just cleared the driveway, and people are absolutely going to die trying to shovel this. Hands down some of the heaviest snow I have tried to move. Eyeballing about 6-7” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can attest to many hours of pingers during GHD 2011. I forget exactly how many inches of sleet we had, but it was enough to make roads nearly impassable. It is also the only time I’ve seen large drifts of sleet. Wish I had taken pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeenerWx Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Nice little band in northern lake/northern porter (in) & into will (il). Just hoping something swings this way for a little refresher. An inch might be a long shot but one can wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Had high hopes with the "fast start" overnight but after all was settled I arrived to 3.5" at home. My tire tracks in the 2" this morning were still evident.Measured 4" closer to Woodstock. Certainly not our first Winter Storm Warning to miss the cut.Rippage by O'Hare this afternoon was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 4.3" with a short while of light snow left. most models showed over 1" of precip so assuming we got that we effectively got 4:1 snow with compaction/melting. Even now you can hear dripping when outside. Felt like an October or April storm. Oh well, on to the next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will end this storm with 13.2" in IC in what will go down as a top 3 storm for me. Rarely do you get the intensity/duration of snow that we did with this storm, and it happened during the day to boot. Started off this morning with giant aggregates and very sloppy ratios (prob 5-6:1) and gradually transitioned towards smaller, drier flakes. The stuff falling in this final band looks and feels north of 10:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to do one of those core samples if I had equipment or knew how, but since there's been so much melting from underneath it wouldn't be accurate anyway. The melted bottom layer likely soaked into the unfrozen top soil lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
