cyclone77 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Current look of things. That band down by Champaign looks like rip city. Looks to be heading right at LAF. Been getting quite a few lightning strikes down in that freezing rain area northeast of St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Surely is some mixed precip out there, but I wouldn't be shocked that in heavy convective bands that you end up with heavily rimed flakes that appear more pellet like. Ah, makes sense. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 CMI has started as -SN, so maybe that's an ok sign that LAF may get some flakes on the front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 First wave of snow on radar not making it to the ground here in Racine. I was just thinking with these winds, the flakes might shatter and ratios may not be as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
