frostfern Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Nice heavy band overhead now with big flakes. Finally just barely starting to stick to the pavement. There is about .5” (and growing) on the cold surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocATL Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Rain well north of Chicago now creeping towards the Wisconsin border. Lots of standing water now in Naperville. Definitely raises the concern for flash freezing as we get into tomorrow. A sheet of ice might be worse than a blizzard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Not sure how any of you are measuring snow. Any flake that lands in my yard is melting in Lake Michigan about 30 minutes later with all this wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Pouring cottonballs under these 30-35 DBZ returns. It's been pouring large dendrites since mid-morning, with very large aggregates at times, like right now. The first wave's 5" was a much lighter/fluffier snow. Felt considerably different compared to the 4:1 slush-fest on Tuesday lol. With this main wave the snow is considerably more wet, probably <10:1 type stuff, but with the huge aggregates it's stacking up better than a sub 10:1 snowfall. Had to work all morning. Roadways are mostly vacant as most peeps seem to be hunkering down. Roads really aren't too bad where the plows are keeping up, as winds are pretty wussy right now. A bit worried for tonight when high winds hit. Trees/powerlines are caking up like a mofo. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Big slug of moisture coming from the south. If that stays on track could pick up another inch or two 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Had to take my Corolla to work today since my wife with her 4WD SUV also had work this morning. Almost got stuck trying to make a right turn due to all the compacted slop piled in the intersection, fortunately I was able to reverse out and take an alternate route. Also, don't be the guy in front of me in the thumbnail. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIllinoisSnow Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 46 degrees and heavy rain currently IMBY. And by the time the cold air gets around moisture will be gone, this one’s gonna sting for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Of course the one time the CAA is ahead of schedule it wipes out our snow chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnchaserguy Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Of course the one time the CAA is ahead of schedule it wipes out our snow chances. The low moving 50-100 miles farther east than the models showed yesterday is reallf screwing us too. Instead of moving north towards the northwest part of lower Michigan it’s now forecast to move northeast towards the northeast LP. Instead of getting light snow all day tomorrow we will be lucky to get a couple of hours. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of getting light snow all day tomorrow we will be lucky to get a couple of hours. .I should also add the models are showing a weaker low. Instead of bottoming out at 968-970 mb it’s bottoming out at 980-982 mb. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 33/32 and heavy snow here at the airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Looks like multiple low pressures, one in se Ohio, which I don't think was modeled. Helluva dry slot coming north. White rain to start here and just flipped to snow in central macomb. Not gonna accumulate much with temps at 37. Just a little too far east to get the goods. Good luck to the rest. Central Oakland looks like a good place to be on the latest rap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL> NWS Cleveland needs to get WWA's up ASAP. The snow is far more entrenched along the lines of what the GFS showed than what they predicted. Tough call, but I think 3-4" is capable. It's definitely extremely wet, heavy snow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Just now, michsnowfreak said: The latest high res showed that and also showed that it should be turning to snow very soon Accuweather's futurecast keeps the spotch over Detroit proper and the immediate suburbs as rain for a little while longer (another hour or so at least), with the transition line slowly enroaching from the North and South. We'll see if it's right or wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
