janetjanet998 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 updated (again) LOT aviation DISCUSSION...UPDATED 14Z... MODERATE CHANGES TO THE SHORT TERM. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE WITH THE PRESENT SCENARIO AND IS STILL /AS OF THE LATEST 12 NAM AND 11Z RUC/ USELESS WITH RESPECT TO PRECIP TRENDS AS THEY DONT INITIALIZE WELL WITH WHAT IS ALREADY ONGOING. DID UPDATE THE CURRENT TRENDS AND TEMPO AS OBS ACROSS THE AREA ARE DROPPING TO IFR VISBY WITH LOW END MVFR TO HIGH END IFR CIGS. TIMING OUT THE FIRST WAVE...EXPECT ORD AND MDW TO DROP BY 1430 WITH THE HEAVIEST OF SNOW...AND DO EXPECT SOME IMPROVEMENT FOLLOWING THE HEAVY BANDS...BACK TO A SOLID MVFR CIG THO VISBYS MAY RETAIN THEIR MID TO HIGH END MVFR RANGE FOR SOME TIME.

hawkeye_wx Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 All we managed to get out of this is 1.8 inches. Outside of the 30-45 minute heavy band that moved through just before sunrise, the snow was mostly light. At the back edge of the precip shield we've been getting snow grains/pellets. Update: Forgot to mention there is no drifting at all. Despite the wind this morning during the heavy snow, the snow depth is very uniform.

BowMeHunter Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Looked like it was almost impossible to miss the fat band of at least decent light to low end mod snow that was backed up from just on my doorstep back to Madison and down to almost the Illinois border... But par for the course it just disintegrates or takes a left turn north leaving me wih pixie.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moneyman Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Snowing pretty good here, heaviest bands off to the SW but they are moving NE so should get on them in a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 mod dust continues here, dog piss about covered up. Should see a dryslot-ish feature before slop moves in later this afternoon. Temps hanging in the low 20s, so we might see a glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 We are getting a few spits of freezing drizzle mixed in with the flurries for the first time all winter. The last few winters have been loaded with ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 28 here. Have little doubt that we'll poke above freezing eventually but it's probably several hours away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc2man13 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Some light snow starting here in GRR. I am hoping this one isn't too damaging for the MI crew, especially SE MI now that there is a good snowpack going there. OT: Alek, replying to what you said a few threads back, I am enjoying college. I just got back from a semester in Budapest. Pretty city, awesome trip but man that place is a snow hell, along with most of Europe. 47.50 North latitude and a snow climate worse than DC I did get to see the "earth shaking" record breaking snowstorms in Belgium that made me spend 2 unwanted days there. Not gonna lie, when 5 inches of snow shuts down a country it makes me cringe. I do know they never get snow there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Good luck man. Could be the biggest one of the winter to date for you, no? Thanks much! Haven't had a 3" event this winter and nothing over 2" since dec 10th lol. Highly doubt we get 3" today as we've wasted the first half of the system with very light sugar snow.
