Hoar_Frost Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 excellent banding setting up just north of I88 Indeed. Intensity and flake size have increased a good deal in the last 15 min. Coming down good here still but really gambling right on the edge. Just curious -- in what part of Batavia do you live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetjanet998 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Date: Dec 31st 2021 On This date in weather History: 2013: A two day New Years snowstorm started in Chicago enhanced by Lake Michigan,,When the snow stopped early on the 2nd.. 10-18 inches fell across the city. The 15.1 inches that fell at O'Hare was the 7th largest since records began ORD: 4.5 inches wave 1 small break 5.6 wave 2 5 LES with rates of 1 inch per hour a short time With a little luck ORD could get overlap from south side of part 1 north side of part 2 and then the LES band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoar_Frost Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 southeast side of town. East of 25, south of Wilson What a precarious position right now. I'm on the far north side of Geneva, near the high school, almost St. Charles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Decent band beginning to come through right now.. Snow is picking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 6+ LES is way bullish IMO, 4-8 synoptic is good, slightly bearish. I'd almost bet money on someone on the western shore seeing 6+ of lake effect. Rates of 1-2" per hour look likely at the peak so it would only take 3-6 hours of that to hit 6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yeah right on the edge for sure. you guys are fine....I am getting big fat fatty flakes down here and the radar returns overhead are paltry compared to what's headed your direction...the rate is nothing great down here....but it remains decent EDIT: just shoveled the driveway clean and it took literally only 3 or 4 minutes to be snow-covered again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huronicane Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 West side of Elgin here, right when you start getting to farmland. In the middle of a good band right now, probably approaching an inch total so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeenerWx Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Seems like the Lake Effect Event could be a "spread the wealth" scenario.
