You got the better ratios Might be up to 3" here, but still not below freezing

ILX not backing down, we'll see. Can't see it falling but just came back in from the garage and it felt a little grainy here like it could be more snow pellet/sleet Edit, whoops forgot the graphic

Don't be too jealous, doubt our results are much different. Definitely not hitting the 2-3" by 5pm ILX had called for, be lucky to get 3" total. That much may have fallem, but that much definitely didn't accumulate. I'd say 1-1/2" right bow onnthe grassy surfaces. Ground is covered for the most part, hovering around the freezing mark.

Roads are worse than I imagined. Pulled my truck around to load it and roads are solidly coated in a slushy mess. They must have salted the heck in between buildings for thr fork trucks amd prevented it from sticking.

Flakes are growing, pavement is slush with white spots showing up.

Updated ILX WWA

Snow started falling here at noon, 36 degrees and temp started a gradual drop to 32 and has now gone back up to 33 degrees. Just took a walk to backside of building and grassy areas have about 1/2" to show for 3 hours of what would normally be a steady accumulating rate. Starting to coat car tops and windshields but pavement and other warm surfaces still melting on contact.

Still no go on paved and metal surfaces. Cannot see the grass currently but wooden surfaces are just now starting to get white rather than just slushy.

Down to 32 now, guessing wet bulbing helped with the quick drop, would be nice to get a couple more degrees lower but not sure how fast that will happen.

Dropped 2 degrees this past hour, now at 33.x. Getting a slushy coating on wooden surfaces, pavement and metal not so much.

I'd take the Euro in a heartbeat, but not letting it play to my emotions. Although I have a feeling heavy rates will happen about 5pm asI had a smoker delivered to my work today and have to get it home and unloaded which means dragging stuff out of the garage, getting it in and then putting the stuff back in.

Such a waste, what would be an accumulating snowfall rate just melting away with mid 30's temps. Temp did drop one degree from 36 to 35 this past hour. Wish the colder air would arrive quicker

Small flakes are falling here, no rain yet

12Z NAM 12Z NAM 3K

Depending on duration, your area could extend beyond 12Z 2/13 so woupdn't be included in Day 1 graphic. It was just something to post awaiting the 12Z NAM

12Z HRRR with radar at timestamp

WPC 4" probs

ILX latest graphic. They seem to be more on the optimistic side of things, I'd be ok woth 3"

Cutoff a bit too close for my liking, hope it's a bit more south than that

ILX AFD via LOT

They also did this mornings AFD, I have seen them do the ILX forecast in the past when the Lincoln office has computer issues or other technical difficulties.

ILX

Still can't get my hopes up with difference between 10:1, Kuchera and snow depth on 0ZNAM 10:1 is greater than Kuchera and snow depth is less than 10:1

21Z SREF Plume more than doubles 15Z, not that 2.78" is anything to write home about.

ILX wasn't very hyped either. Less than 72 hours out and still showing something for us, I'm once again on the southern fringe of things which is fine if it stays that way, but any nudge north and it could be the difference between all or mostly nothing. Why can't we get another GHD event that spreads the wealth for many, yet not everyone. Haven't had a bowling ball type event in awhile that could gibe a majority a good event. One of these winters has to break open, maybe, possibly, hopefully.......
