cyclone77 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Very heavy snow now here. Probably close to 1/8 mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 lol, any mixing is going to be brief Dual pol has it racing north quickly. But, it has to actually precipitate for us to find out. Heavy heavy virga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 3.6"/3.8" at MLI/DVN respectively at 18z. Band is now past there with maybe a few more hours of light to moderate snow. May make a run at 5" there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm riding 4" as my predicted snow total, originally went with 2-4", but 4" was what I told friends and family who asked last night. Maybe more like 4.5" at the airport since they did a bit better with the initial wave early this morning. mke going 3-5" new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Dual pol has it racing north quickly. But, it has to actually precipitate for us to find out. Heavy heavy virga. That was pretty much supposed to happen...then it collapses south. I say absolute worst case scenario is that we mix for an hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 LOT has started backing down on accums, 4-6 is much more reasonable. 6-8 was never happening and 10" lollies was lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 That was pretty much supposed to happen...then it collapses south. I say absolute worst case scenario is that we mix for an hour or two. Hmm, I don't think so. Highly doubtful we see any snow with this one. Every site to our west is FZRA city. Mix knocking on the back door. Though, returns dying as they try to go over me on the east side. Awful storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 That thundersnow stuff is epic. Hoping the dry air can be overcome fairly quickly in my neck of the woods as the front of the precip inches closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
