OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Getting in on the action on the extreme northern edge. I’m down in Cannon Falls MN for work today and it’s a pixie dust storm at 0F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Well this going to be a bust of epic proportions here. Massive dry slot in MO going to end snow very early. Snow quality has been minimal as well. I will be shocked if we get 1-2in. This winter can piss right off. Have a feeling weekend storm gunna end up more north now because of limited snow pack laid down now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 A sampling of today’s quality of flake. This would stack up nicely, but rates are mehhhh at this point. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIllinoisSnow Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Shaping up to be even worse of an event than anticipated, has started snowing here but that back edge of the snow is already into Illinois, likely won’t get within the 2-4” forecasted range 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my expectations were low - the app I use has been predicting 2-3" for Peoria since Monday - but when I saw it was only predicting 1" this morning, I had to laugh. So many people online mad about school/business closings about now, heh. But whatever, life goes on. If it's not 6+" I'd prefer as little as possible anyway. The app's been predicting 1.5-2" for the weekend, due to the rain mix, so I'm not expecting much there either. The last decade has really killed all my enthusiasm for winter. Peoria just doesn't do winter like it used to. Our kids haven't gone sledding in at least three years, whereas I used to go sledding all the time growing up.

These past 3 winters have been brutal for snow in the Peoria area. This winter sure takes the cake though. It's crazy how many times all models have agreed on a big dog a few days out or less, only to fall apart last second. The snow falling now is dense pixie dust. I'll be lucky to get over an inch where I live. The winter storm warning headlines add insult to injury lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 raods and sidewalks are covered now but the grass is still showing. definitely a bit of a north south gradient in the Madison area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I have a nice vantage point on my route on the southwest side of the city. Neat seeing the distance disappear as the snow got closer. Flakes size has been really good here to be honest. Every flake is sticking. Hopefully we can squeeze out an inch or two out of this whole mess. Regardless, I always enjoy seeing snow. EDIT: I see LOT updated and said snow quality south of I88 is poor, which of course is not true here right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seemed like the were (or we hoped they were) the outliers. The season #1 bar isn't hard to reach at 2.2", but dont feel good about getting there with radar trends are poor rates right now.
