Add 30 pages to this thread if that storm hit up here Exactly. Other than quickly checking totals or pics, what interest would we have in the storm? To be honest, Ive seen posts from a few users I didnt even recognize (in the impacted areas). I dont see people from STL or Cincy taking an interest in Chicago-Detroit snowstorms, nor would I expect them to. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Posted Monday at 06:13 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:13 PM 8" was our total just west of the Indianapolis Airport. Blowing snow was an issue last night and this morning, and the wind is picking up even more now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted Monday at 06:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:23 PM congrats to the cincy and ohio river valley folks! Was really hoping this would have been an i-70 special, but not in the cards. Amazing how the north trend only happens for us when it comes with a warm tongue and a changeover. I picked up about 2.5" just northeast of CMH. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual worthwhile LES events are quite a rare occurrence on this side of the lake. You need everything to go right for it to come to fruition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted Monday at 10:01 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:01 PM No accumulation here, and a report of 3.5" 10 miles to my SE. Ouch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted Monday at 10:09 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 10:09 PM LES didn't bust across NE Illinois or SE Wisconsin. It was just that the guidance that was further west actually was correct for once. And that only happened because I said that usually doesn't happen. Reported snowfall totals of 2-6" are common across eastern Racine, Kenosha, and Lake Counties. For the parameters that were in place, that's really solid. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted Monday at 10:28 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:28 PM LES of about 1" so far here today. Looks like a bit more is moving in again. Now this is very fluffy snow with high ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largetornado Posted Monday at 11:59 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:59 PM Had about 9" in cincy. 1/2" of sleet/freezing rain in between two 4-5" layers light and fluffy snow. Without the ice, easily a foot plus storm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted yesterday at 01:02 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:02 AM This is the last time I remember being impressed by pure lake effect in Chicago proper. https://www.weather.gov/lot/2014jan22#:~:text=Total snowfalls were%3A,%2F21 with 1977-1978. I believe there was also a lake effect event that followed a larger storm in early January same year but can’t find exact details 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago One for the record books in the Queen City. Removing duplicates, this appears to be 7th largest 2-day storm ever recorded. It was the largest 2-day storm since 2008, and that one eclipsed this by only 0.1 inches. Only 2 storms have recorded greater than 1" more of snow in any 2-day period. From 1917 to 1978, no storms of this intensity were observed. This is about as big as it gets in the home of Skyline Chili. (1) 18.3 inches, 2/4/1998-2/5/1998 (2) 14.4 inches, 1/6/1996 - 1/7/1996 (3) 11.5 inches, 12/8/1917 - 12/9/1917 (4) 11.3 inches, 1/16/1978 - 1/17/1978 (5) 11.0 inches, 2/17/1910 - 2/18/1910 (6) 10.7 inches, 3/7/2008 - 3/8/2008 (7) 10.6 inches, 1/5/2025 - 1/6/2025 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All hail King Euro Everyone rips on the Euro since it's definitely not as good as it used to be, but it still schools the GFS 90% of the time. GFS had 1-3" of snow up to I-80 all the way up to near the event which was clearly lol worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Official total was 11" here in Plainfield, Indiana. We are on the north end of town, points south of us got anywhere from 7-11" and our town is only about 2 miles north to south! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago Forgot to mentioned... The LE ended up being about 95% FZRA at ORD. Trees, grass, etc, were all coated with 0.20" of ice. Chalk that up as a rare occurrence. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
