Hoosier Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 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. Here's the latest from LOT aviation discussion THIS LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND WILL LIKELY BECOME THE MAIN MODERATE SNOW MAKER THIS AFTERNOON...AS SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES EAST. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW A THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THIS BAND OF SNOW THROUGH MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL LIKELY TOP 7500KT AGL THIS AFTERNOON...PRODUCING AN AREA OF INSTABILITY THAT WILL REACH WELL INTO THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE. THEREFORE...EFFICIENT SNOWFALL PRODUCTION AND LIFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN THE AREAS THIS BANDING EFFECTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPSU Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Looks like we have about 2" so far here in central Ohio. I'd imagine we'll get anothe 1-2" in periods of light snow today and tonight. We will probably end up on the LOW side of the accumulation range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iastfan112 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Finished with 9.5 inches here over about 42 hours of snow here, models did a pretty nice job for me with the CMC and NAM probably nailing it most closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I wonder how much liquid we've had. LAF is reporting 0.17" which looks like it could be a tad underdone based on the obs but not as bad as some other snow events in the past. Probably ratios of at least 15:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAF is reporting 0.17" which looks like it could be a tad underdone based on the obs but not as bad as some other snow events in the past. Probably ratios of at least 15:1 I was surprised the airport reported that much liquid. Usually it's 0.09" or something like that with events like this.

tuanis Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Looks like the band is thinking about wiggling back east. We're in the band out here in Oak Brook. Coming down good, big flakes. It's definitely starting to edge back east. How quick it does so will tell the story in Cook County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How quick it does so will tell the story in Cook County. Eastern Cook spent most of the morning in the band before it shifted west, snow picking up pretty good again and we have 4 and some change on the ground near Foster and LSD. I think a run at 6 is possible if that band spends some time in the neighborhood before rolling out to visit Tornadotony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Very light non-accumulating snows continuing here. Snowing so lightly most people probably wouldn't even notice it. Looks like we'll finish with 2 inches on the dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Forecast calling for 2-4" here in Toronto. 4" seems like a real longshot, unless there's some frontogenetic forcing along the northern periphery of the pcpn shield. Seems unlikely given the weakening divergence aloft as the storm transfers to the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Let's keep the LES discussion in the lake effect thread. It doesn't make sense for me to post in the LE thread as this is still partly synoptic and my lake enhanced snows are distinct from what Indiana, Michigan and Ohio will see. If others want me to post there though, i will. Snow ramping up pretty good again here on the lakefront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordoFabulous Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Just west of Ball State in Muncie. Snow's been pretty heavy most of the day but has slacked off considerably. Still snowing lightly. At the house I have about 4", but it wouldn't surprise me if some locations around here approach 5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioValleyWx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 4 1/8" here as of 4 PM. 7 Miles ESE of KDAY. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Storm looks to be about over here, down to just flurries. Any more accumulation in Central Ohio will depend on whether or not we can get some heavier bands to move through tonight.. But I'd say it's about over here. I'd say on average got aroun2 - 2 1/2 inches here, so appears I am busting on my calls, Had a feeling I shouldve updated totals yesterday afternoon, but stuck with moy 4-6" call.. Anyways, congrats to everyone who got snow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
