Kind of sucks coming home from work and seeing so few posts in a storm thread. Kind of got spoiled and got used to it lol. Need something else good to track before I start getting the shakes.
-
Snowpack hasn't budged since the snow a few days ago, still at about 18". Normally you'd see at least a bit of settling/sublimation in that amount of time. Stout 'pack.
-
Bottomed out at -15
-
Down to -10. HRRR showed -20 in earlier runs, but has backed off some on newer runs.
-
Time to knock the snow off that puppy and do a little grillin
-
Should get down under -10 tonight, and that will make tomorrow the 12th day in a row with a subzero reading. There's a chance we can add 3 more days to that streak if things work out Thu-Sat. Tomorrow night and Thu night are currently expected to barely stay above zero. Mean temp so far for Feb is a bone chilling 6.6°!
-
Finished with 2.5" of fresh powder here, 18" snow depth. MLI came in with 3.8", DVN 1.3".
-
I thought temps overachieved today when I left work, it felt pretty decent out. Was surprised it was only 9 degrees lol. 30s will feel like the 4th of July.

Winter 2020-21 Medium/Long Range Discussion

It'll be back for April. -
Very nice to see such a wide area down that way get in on a big dog. Long overdue.
-
Still snowing here, got about 2". Ratios seem quite low due to the sugary nature from the pixies, but makes for a quality addition to the existing snowpack. About 18-19" of snow and ice on the ground now. EDIT: MLI has 3.5" as of midnight. Didn't think they'd be that much higher than me, so maybe I did a crappy job of measuring lol.
-
It's already down to -26 out at Le Mars Iowa. Brutal.
-
Pretty cool looking system on the ol' sat
-
These 15-18DBZ returns are doing work out here on the west side in the arctic air. Flake size increased the past hour, probably pushing 2" now with more to come.
-
Pixies here, but it's slowly adding up. Up to a little over an inch now. Alek got in 15min what we got in 4hrs lol! Hell of a storm up there in Chicago.
-
Ripping pretty nicely here with a temp right at zero. Flakes are fine, but it's pouring down nicely.
-
I hear that lol. Yeah I was still planting trees on Dec 18th. Things changed pretty fast after Christmas.
-
DVN still going with 1-2" for here/QC with no advisory, so they may need to make some adjustments this evening.
-
First flakes flying here. RAP has upped us to over 0.20" of precip now, and the HRRR and NAMs have bumped us into the high teens. Should hopefully be able to fluff 3-4" out of that, which is a HUGE win compared to how this looked a few days ago.
-
12z Euro has 4.7" here off of 0.18" precip on the new WXBell kuchera. That's 26:1 LSR, which seems a bit far fetched. I guess we'll see.
-
ORD getting in on it now, down to 1/4 mile vis.
-
Dumpin' buckets of snow at the McCallister's house (Home Alone) in Winnetka.
-
Back in 2017 we hit 70 degrees on the 17th. That seems almost unfathomable with how cold it's been as of late. We're about to pop to zero after 42 consecutive hours below zero. Pretty impressive in January let alone mid February.
-
Most of the models have upped QPF here to about 0.17" or so on average. It's gonna come down to the ratios as to how much we can fluff out of that.
-
-6 here this morning. Cherokee Iowa got all the way down to -30.
