SolidIcewx Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I got my wish of at least having the ground covered. Holy hell that was a workout to shovel. Going to be cool to see once it’s freezes into a nice glacier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago916 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Also only an in or so in Avondale. Not very accurate map. On second look this is showing accumulation and not current snow depth, so it might be correct given all the melting and compaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 looks about right for mby. 6" with the intial burst and 2" last night for about 8". My call was 8". Ugliest 8"storm I experienced....but it looks good now. Time to keep adding some arctic powder now.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Had 4.2" with that initial banding before it switched over to rain. YYZ recorded 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Went out long enough to collect eggs, measure, and snap a couple pics. It's been snowing like hell for about 24 hours... another 3-5 possible before the flow backs more unfavorably. Estimating a little over 2' has fallen with a snow depth approaching 30 inches. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 4" from Wed-Thurs clipper, then got goose egged yesterday. Looks like the Ashland, WI & Ironwood, MI areas got 6-12". NWS DLH didn't do so good with this northern end of the system. It ended up being a little more east than expected, and winds not as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be cool to see once it’s freezes into a nice glacier I am exhausted between shoveling and snowblowing. That stuff was crazy heavy. It compacted with the few hours above freezing. It's definitely a dense snow pack. Great part is a good amount did not melt off the trees. With today LES here it looks like the heart of winter weather.

RCNYILWX Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Forecast vs. ActualThe extended rain up into the central metro uglied things up, but storm total forecast worked out pretty well due to the early thump plus the overnight fluffier snow. Happy with where we messaged the 12"+ probs. 13.3" in La Salle seems really high, though I'm off this weekend and can't speak to the process behind going with that report.

sbnwx85 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Calling it a storm total of 6.8”. The lake saved this one for me. There are two clear layers of snow: 3” of hard, frozen snow underneath about 4” of fluff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyweather Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 sad to see the lackluster storm performance for my friends in the city. north of Rockford we did great but actually kind of underperformed with about 8” locally as there were some 11” lollipops on either side of us. daughter had ski team practice this morning at Wilmot, the Matterhorn of the Midwest. Snow was great, a nice layer of champagne powder from the overnight and early morning drier few inch topper that came down. enchanted views driving to and from the ski area with the snow just plastered on the landscape. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Near white-out right now with heavy snow and strong winds with this mini wave of snow. Would not want to be traveling anywhere right now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacka11 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It's snowing pretty decently here (albeit with smaller flake size) under the tiniest queef of a radar return so I can only imagine that it's coming down decently out west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Final total map from MKX. Pretty good verification for MKX and the models as a whole. We were pretty much locked in for at least these totals from like Wednesday morning no matter what the trend was, so to have that verify was very nice. We probably have about 14-15" of snow OTG between the two snowfalls this week. And now with this little clipper coming in the temps have really started to drop. Low clouds with peaks of sun, snow blowing around and lightly falling, and the wind blowing. It is positively arctic out right now. Since I wasn't around here for Feb 2021, this is the most "deep winter" conditions I've experienced since late Jan 2019. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 My snow board maxed out at 3.5" yesterday and was down to 2.5" this morning, but I'm going with 5" for my storm total. Several reports from the Cedar Rapids area are in the 6-8" range. The 2.5" of "dry" snow on my board this morning had 0.43" liquid in it, for a 6 to 1 ratio. I always get a terrible ratio when there is wind, even if the snow is bone dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogget Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I think measuring snowfall by inches is not our best bet. It should be measured by “time to clear the #%}*%% driveway,” which would be much more useful to citizens! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 On 1/12/2024 at 3:31 PM, Frog Town said: WWA posted for Toledo. A little late to the party On 1/12/2024 at 3:21 PM, nwohweather said: 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 To be fair, I hit send on this a little earlier than these posts: URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Cleveland OH 248 PM EST Fri Jan 12 2024 OHZ003-130000- /O.NEW.KCLE.WW.Y.0002.240112T1948Z-240113T0000Z/ Lucas- Including the city of Toledo 248 PM EST Fri Jan 12 2024 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING... * WHAT...Wet snow occurring. Additional snow accumulations of up to two inches. * WHERE...Lucas county. * WHEN...Until 7 PM EST this evening. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heavy wet snow will impact travel conditions through the evening commute. We were aware of the potential for an impactful burst of wet snow in the Toledo area, but yes the advisory came out later than would've been preferable. I had a bit of a gut feeling around 1 PM when TOL immediately dropped to 3/4 mile visibility in snow when precip came in...but since it was still 36-38 degrees across Lucas County, raining in Wood County south of the turnpike, and only sticking to grass in western Lucas County (not in the city of Toledo) I wasn't sure if it'd snow long enough to accumulate 2"+. I have no problem issuing an advisory for less than 4" of snow (our technical advisory criteria) based on impact, but there has to be a line somewhere and I don't want to do an advisory if I'm not confident it'll snow at least a couple inches. We issued a Special Wx Statement for up to 2" of quick snow accumulation and slick road conditions around 1:20. By 2:30 Findlay flipped to snow, precip rates were intensifying, and snow was sticking to roads in Lucas County. It was obvious that conditions would be poor through the evening commute and also that snow accumulations would be a good couple/few inches in western Lucas County, so we went with the advisory at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
