KeenerWx Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 Will be interesting to see how the response evolves over the next 24-36 hours inland of southern Lake Michigan. There seems to be a lot of scenarios on the table. Not necessarily unlike any LE potential, but look forward to seeing (and hoping) some locations cashing in.

Chicago Storm Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 On 12/20/2024 at 1:15 AM, Chicago Storm said: Brief burst of +SN here at ORD with this WAA wing of precip moving through, which produced a quick 0.5" of accumulation. It has since turned over to -FZRASN, with a light glaze of ice on colder objects.Ended up with a decent little glaze at ORD. ASOS reported 0.05” of ice.Got home and had an hour-long burst of SN/+SN, which totaled 1”.Increased forcing and lake enhancement combo leading to solid returns around the MKE area currently. This should translate southward into the Chicago area for a few hour period this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRR's notorious for conference calls and talking the downstream offices (DTW & APX) into holding off or not issuing anything. Basically they like to downplay most winter events except LES as mentioned by @michsnowfreak. I know some just north of GR have had Warning headlines this year and gotten only 2" of LES. Meanwhile, they have issued a WWA for 10 inches of synoptic snow in their non-LES counties. I had 8.5" of concrete snow when I lived downstate and I don't think I had any headline until it was almost over. Speaking of.. "An inch down already. Steady light to moderate snow. A lull is coming but this should have been an advisory. Roads are getting slick GRR blew the first part of this forecast saying there would be no impacts in Kent County this afternoon."

OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 MSP ended up with 5.5” of snowfall yesterday on 0.23” of liquid. I believe that’s a ratio of 20-1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 1-3" across my area. Underperformed big time. NWS DLH issued WS warnings around the Lake shore, and schools here closed. They have a little egg on the face today. I picked up an inch from a lake band that formed later in day that did not stay around for too long. Drier air really cut down on the synoptic precip, and LP tracked too far S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 Though the writing was on the wall, disgusted with this one here. A slushy 0.3 of snow imby which melted as it's hovering at 34°. Even though pretty much everyone N and W of me in SE MI had more, it was overall a let down event for most of light wet snow. 4.3" on the season.

Geoboy645 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 So we ended up well overperforming with the clipper yesterday here. At home Id say we got about 7" here. It actually looks like December outside for once. This is the first time it has looked like this out on Dec 20th in many years. And our first significant clipper since at least 21 if not earlier. Too bad it's supposed to get warm before Christmas, because this would be a perfect snowpack for the holiday. Although we do have enough that we should have at least some OTG for the holiday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted December 20, 2024 Share Posted December 20, 2024 I'd say 2-3 here. Can't remember the last time the grass was fully snow covered. Had some nice banding to end the event earlier that did a nice paste job on the trees, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was working up in Southfield and it was snowing most of the day with what seemed to be 1.5-2” otg. Then going home as soon as I hit 275/96 area it was all melted. Those degree or two variances made quite the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
