sc2man13 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 has it turned back to snow from rockford west to Iowa border? Looks like it. Like I said earlier, such a nailbiter here. 24 degrees with the wind whipping out of the south, had an hour and a half of good snow and picked up around an inch. Next big round should start in an hour as snow, the question is how long will it remain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 18z nam trends cooler again. This is definitely going to be a nothing system for us (though a WWA is in effect for a slippery commute tomorrow), but Im feeling better and better about snowpack damage being very minimal.

Nope, it was a lighter event - around Thanksgiving 2004: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ilx/events/nov242004/nov24.php The 12/1/06 storm was a futher north, wound up storm. Chicago was on the southern edge of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I got 1.2 inches of snow between 2pm and 3pm. My storm total is up to 3.0 inches. That's the second time this winter I've had an hour of big flakes pouring down. Hopefully, we can put several hours together sometime before winter is over.

Powerball Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 18z nam trends cooler again. Eh, not really. It's about the same as the 12z run, if not a hair warmer at 925mb. Most notably it has trended slightly slower with the cold air davection in the low levels tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Blah...sorry man. Rough ride for you this winter. Thanks, man Tis ok though it still was an OK event... In the end it might challenge the biggest storm of 3.6" back on dec. 4th.. I think this will be the first 2"+ event since that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
