buckeye Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Wow, doesn't take much down there. yea, theyre dismissing schools here too......pretty stupid. Gotta admit I'm kinda hoping my son's bball game gets axed this afternoon, I really don't feel like driving 30 miles at rushhour with all the crazies out there.

LizardMafia Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Even that wasn't enough when I was going to school 10 years ago. And it's not like Toronto averages 200" or something. Board of Ed officials here were just pricks about it. They used to be here in my son's school district, until someone got in an accident. The explanation for the reason that the High and Middle schoolers are getting out early is so that the buses have enough time to get them home, before the elementary schools get out. Which I do agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Snow has begun in downtown Cleveland. Models have been fairly consistent with qpf for several days. I'm betting CLE winds up with 7 or 8 inches by tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The report from Wadsworth is Caplans house, he could a run at 8" looking at radar. According to a Facebook update from him, he's saying some areas in Lake/Cook counties may recieve 6-10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 bit of a lull but we have close to 4" with light snow falling EDIT: I see LOT bumped me to 3-5, if that band pivots back east/south and i think it will, we should make a run at 5" maybe more.

Chicago Storm Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 MKE concerned that the main LES band may come onshore later... THE 1000/850MB WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BACK TO NORTH NORTHEAST AT 00Z WEDNESDAY...THEN SLOWLY BACK DUE NORTH BY 06Z WEDNESDAY BEFORE SHIFTING NORTHWEST BY 12Z WEDNESDAY. HIGH RESOLUTION RAPID REFRESH AND LOCAL WRF WITH GFS BOUNDARY CONDITIONS BOTH INDICATING A SINGLE LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND DEVELOPING AND MOVING SOUTHWEST TO NEAR OR ON THE SHORE BETWEEN 22Z TUESDAY AND 02Z WEDNESDAY. IF THIS DOES MOVE ONSHORE...A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING MAY BE NEEDED AS AMOUNTS COULD GO OVER 6 INCHES DURING THE EVENING RUSH HOUR PERIOD. WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS FEATURE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 According to a Facebook update from him, he's saying some areas in Lake/Cook counties may recieve 6-10". Models are showing a thermodynamic setup similar to that event last month that dumped around 10" on the west side of the lake. The difference this time is that it will be shifting into Indiana.

Hoosier Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Deep moisture, sufficient but not really impressive delta T, lack of a sharp inversion (although probably stable enough to keep vertical growth in check), little shear...there were 4" per hour rates with that event which is a high bar for west side events, but there could be a surprise if it's less transitory than expected.

I drove through one of those in Buffalo Grove heading home, pretty good stuff. I don't think we see anything quite like that, but an additional couple inches puts me into 6+ territory.

wxdudemike Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Looks like we have about 1.5" inches now. Buckeye or Jay any measurements from you guys? I don't have any super reliable places to measure near by at the campus (that I've found so far) so I won't call anything in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like 3-4 for today, but then another inch possible overnight through tomorrow afternoon. So when all said and done 4-5 inches which falls in my original 4-6 range.
