Chicago WX Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Man, you guys just can't get much straight snow down there. My friend moved to LAF this year from hre and she said the winter is definitely different there. Bad choice if she like snow. But, 2007 to 2011 was much better here. Things even out over time.

LizardMafia Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Mom confirmed hearing some thunder overnight. Dad with a weenie measurement of 2.5-3.0" up there. A couple of pics my ride this morning. Decent enough glaze of ice, sleet, and snow...had to do some work chipping out. photo-5.JPG photo-6.JPG Definitely glad I parked in the garage last night..

Geos Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Received 3.2" here. Had to measure in about 5 different places and get an average. Got some needles falling right now. Did not notice any evidence of freezing drizzle on the snow or in it. Maybe I can get another half inch from this back end slug. 10:1 ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Huh??? I thought all of the GR (and north) area had at least 6-8" back on the 7th/8th. I know Muskegon had up to 15". Heck, we even had up to 5" down here along the I-94 corridor..better check your stats. I am a little south of GR. Just 2 miles north of the Allegan County line. We have had some good LES totals, but unless something happened the week I was on vacation (Last week of January through first weekend in February) we have only had LES in excess of 3". I remember the GR folks and blackrock commenting on larger amounts, but we switched over to rain after a very promising start during that Feb storm you are referencing and that kept our totals in the 3 inch range. Places just 5 miles north did better because they held on to snow instead of switching over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Not much of anything, to be honest. Although, you would think, by some folks reaction around here, it was GHD all over again. 2.3", and that's pushing it. I woke up and looked out on the front yard, and grass was still visible through the snow cover. No drizzle that I am aware of, the snow didn't have a crust on it. This was a slight bit of snow, from a weakening winter storm, nothing more. (at least down here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Measured 2.5" earlier but we're still getting a little more snow this morning. 14.2" storm total at Wichita KS was 2nd biggest snowstorm on record for them: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ict&storyid=92760&source=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Still snowing good ad back edge approaches. Id say 3+. Gorgeous. Really nice system. I like that the snow was a little stickier than usual this winter so it should stay around longer, and I was surprised we got as much as we did. Quite pretty out right now.

Geos Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 LOT's 2-4 call looks like it worked out well. the RPM/NAM/RAP were way too wet....again. Probably would have been accurate if the dry air would not have been an issue. Snow starting to kick up here again. Nice moderate pockets out to the west.

chances14 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 major interstates in detroit were awful when i was heading down to ohio today. No salt or plow trucks to be seen. I passed several accidents on I-75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 3.5" here 3.8" at MKE as of 6am Both locations should approach (and in the case of Milwaukee, exceed) 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Ended up with 2.5" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spwild47 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Gurnee is near Geos...you guys have a very different micro-climate over there. I'm normally close to ORD unless their was a major lake influence. So i'll ride 2.5" here. It was hard to measure when I woke up because of excessive blowing off roof tops (which I suspect messes up a few unofficial city reports). Maybe some lake enhancement here...-SN as I type this...

Brewers Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Both locations should approach (and in the case of Milwaukee, exceed) 4. MKE will probably make it to 4", looks like the accumulating snow is done down in Racine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers09 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 3 inches here in Harper Woods. Very solid crunchy snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 -SN just started here but the band looks like absolute crap on radar. I think the 0.20" QPF the NAM and RGEM are spitting out may be embellished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 MSN had 2.6" as of 6 am, been snowing continuously since then so we have 3-4" now. GFS says it will snow until 00z, which I can believe since precip keeps rotating in from the west. Ekman pumping alone should be enough to keep the precip going for anyone near the center of the low.

frostfern Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I am a little south of GR. Just 2 miles north of the Allegan County line.

I remember the GR folks and blackrock commenting on larger amounts, but we switched over to rain after a very promising start during that Feb storm you are referencing and that kept our totals in the 3 inch range. Places just 5 miles north did better because they held on to snow instead of switching over. That storm had a pretty sharp cutoff gradient. 11" in the extreme NW corner of Kent County but only around 3.5" on the very southern end. I had 9" around IMBY from that one, making it the biggest snowfall of the season. However, there was also a clipper on Feb 1-2 that gave me about 8" of 25-30 ratio snow. The snowdepth on the ground briefly exceeded a foot after those two storms with minimal melting in between. Most of that melted away over the past week and a half. Though the piles and bigger drifts were still around, this mornings snow fell on mostly bare ground here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 3.1" here, biggest of the winter. Most of it fell between 10pm-3am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Nice storm here, especially as models had less than 0.10" qpf here until 24 hours or so before the storm. Once again, an overperformer (though a match with the last minute model trends). Ended up with 3.1" snow on 0.31" liquid imby, a FAR higher impact snowfall than the previous several 2-3" type snowfalls. Lasted less than 4 hours and the snow was like sand. Roads an absolute nightmare as it was dense 10-1 ratio snow but the surface was so cold there was absolutely no melting on the roads. Between drifting and tire tracks, the roads were very rutted with snow. Side note, I cant believe we got about what Chicago got. They were supposed to get 3-4 times more than us. Really isnt their winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
