sbnwx85 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Light to moderate snow. 31 degrees. It's not accumulating very efficiently yet but we've managed about a half inch so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The runs before they upgraded overnight were already showing significantly lower amounts. Even an advisory is a stretch for this in most areas.

madwx Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 if you get enough forcing/upward motion to tap into the DGZ then you get really good rates, otherwise it's very blah. We'll get about 3-4 more hours of better forcing here through 7-8 PM, though we may end up just on the northern edge of things 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the truth. After our first push today, we went to needles. When the good returns moved back overhead later, back came the good flakes. Speaking of, getting another one of those right now. Measured 2.8" when I got home from work, so we'll beat the season high event of 3.0". I'll take it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The forecast here has been fairly steady showing 20+ cm or 9". The first snow is starting now. I had blue skies and sun for a few hours this morning, then by early aft the sky was a different hue as if it had just rained heavy like I see in warmer times. I've been waiting for the first synoptic winter storm - its been years here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I hear a snowblower somewhere on my street. We have slightly over an inch. 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of blowing snow possible tomorrow too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 ILX radar starting to light up with this next round. If you can get lucky and get stuck under ones of those bands for awhile, it'll heal some wounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I can get a bit of lake enhancement, WUN lowered me to 19cm but TWN increased to 25-30+. The highest winds start as the storm winds down 30km/h sustained. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King James Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Yes it is. All things considered, we did alright here. Got to believe we are on the higher end of totals compared to other locations.
