WisTodd Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 when I saw 18" as the total, I thought "over, easily" immediately. Put the total up toward 22" and you might get more two-sided action. Enjoy your historic storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the total up toward 22" and you might get more two-sided action. Enjoy your historic storm! Yes but this is the official total which is from a spotter 2 miles SW of the airport which for some reason always reports the lowest in the area in huge storms...I pointed this out on eastern a few times and posted examples such very odd low liquid to snow ratios for PIA..and even had a met form ILX try to explain it he said with the wind may be hard to measure out there where it is flat However i have seen examples in recent years where they don't use that spotters report as an official report yet at other times they do...so I am confused where the official report comes from these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilstormchaser Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Newest nam has the dryslot along the il river and points se. 16-18 inches is likely towards the Galesburg area with isolated amounts near 20. Galesburg is 40 miles wnw of Peoria. Am thinking Peoria (officially) will end up in the 13-15 inch range with amounts 15-17 inches on the far NW side of town . You can tell this by looking at the 12z nam accumulated precip forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'd say I am on the lower side, around 5 probably. I'm central peoria just north of War Memorial of Knoxville. Although I am bit secluded. Winds are still powerful and getting 16-20" drifts already. Can't imagine how it is at the parents farm right now.
