Chinook Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 This was HRRR sounding with the max CAPE for Lake Michigan today. This is significant, for wintertime, sfc-700mb CAPE. In the old days, it was difficult to get the NAM soundings to show this realistically. Hmm the values displayed on here are 53 J/kg for 3CAPE but 163 J/kg for MUCAPE, so that doesn't really match up. I don't really know how that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus the two slop fest storms and lake effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Just got in to the Chicago suburbs. Took the Toll Road in and hoo boy was that a slow go through LaPorte County. Even though I was focused on the road and it’s night, I can tell you it was the most snow I’ve ever seen on the ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Got 2.3" of snow from it today. Highest snowfall of the season and will be that way for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Got another 2.3" yesterday. Have now seen 14.0" in January. Really enjoying this stretch of deep winter, since I know they don't last in strong ninos. So pretty outside! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mostly sugary, small-flake synoptic snow, but then at the end we got Lake Huron enhancement (photo with the big flakes). Yesterday's snow was 2.3" with 0.13" liquid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it’s accessible around the town. We initially tried to get into the National Park area but those roads were impassable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not pay much attention to that band as we had back to back days with snow here (2.8 + 2.3) plus I worked. I knew the models were cranking out a lot of Lake effect. But I did not pay attention to the results. was wondering how widespread those 30-inch plus totals were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Mostly in northern Laporte. Once we crossed into Porter county amounts quickly dropped to ~6”We did get an all in storm total of 16" in Chesterton. It appears the heaviest last night was far enough west of the county line that there's a relative gap just west of where you are. Out of curiosity, if you drive through there, interested if it's around a foot in the Town of Pines/Beverly Shores area.

There looked to be 8-12” in Pines area when we drove back on Route 20. Props to the town of Michigan City for getting roads passable. A storm like this when growing up in northern New Jersey would have shut everything down for 48 hours 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
