Radtechwxman Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Though I am liking trends on hrrr I am a bit confused on its se trend given the low is 991mb now and it initialized it around 996mb. To me I would think it would end up more nw if it's stronger than it's depicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 LOT’s recent graphics. The solid gold bordered snow block from midnight to 6pm tomorrow for Rockford area has me excited as a snow enthusiast. It also has me slightly concerned as the snow removal guy for both my house & my in-laws next door. P&C from LOT has the wide range of 7-15 potential inches.Same with the 7-15 P&C. Came together nicely since this morning.More snow from this past weekend on the ground in west burbs than back home (little to none here). Probably won't make a huge difference in the accumulations but would be nice to have that starter layer in place to maximize the early potential with temperatures a few degrees above freezing yet.

RCNYILWX Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 As you'd expect, crazy day at LOT today. Will try to chime in this evening and then try to sleep. Back in at 7am tomorrow as the shift supervisor. Roads should be fun lol. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radtechwxman Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 This snow better increase in intensity and size or this won't pan out nicely out. Kind of struggling so far. Marginal temps I'm sure aren't helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 If were going to throw out storm cancel scenarios before initiation I'm going with gulf convection robbing moisture transport. Checks radar:not concerned. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanis Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Still think it’ll be a rainy mixy slop that doesn’t amount to much with tomorrow’s batch even if model trends have been positive. 20+ miles west it’ll be another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radtechwxman Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 A lot of mixing issues here thus far. Longer than what models depicted. Definitely getting nervous totals going to bust here tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 We reached 34º or 35º this afternoon, but once the snow began this evening it stuck to the pavement immediately. There is not a single wet spot anywhere. Perhaps the strengthening wind helped cool the pavement. Guidance continues to sag southeast. Fortunately, even though we won't get the heaviest snow, models still show my area solidly within the decent defo zone through the day tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
