TimChgo9 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Got a quick .5 or so last night, enough to coat the ground, and the cars. Still looking at 3" -7" in general for the LOT CWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelakeroy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 12:1 ratio snow here last night. Flake size was fairly small by the looks of it. I had a period this morning of quarter sized flakes. I got a quick ~1" that the leaf blower had no problem. Of course my temps were still in the upper teens when it was falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Radar trends in IA and NE don't look so hot. Things better amp up soon otherwise many of us might not reach the low end of the forecasted totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Congrats Chicago and south, LAF will probably get blitzed. I'll hold onto the last thread that is the 18z GFS Ensembles before these next several runs dash those last hopes. This is getting annoying. I guess the truth is annoying, and I would agree with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 You have a shot that I could use to pick that up? Hopefully Hoosier doesn't get too upset with me, but I'm gonna go with 3-5" for LAF. Riding a 12z GFS and NAM compromise with that call...because the others (RGEM, UK) so far, are pretty ugly for here. This might be the most irritating storm for me this winter. Certainly up there. I'm thinking about lowering my call but not sure to what range. System was still offshore at 12z so the 18z and especially 00z runs should tell the tale.

Chicago Storm Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 LOT 1158 AM CSTDID A QUICK UPDATE TO THE GRIDS FOR THIS AFTERNOON TO MOVE UP THETIMING OF THE ONSET OF THE SNOW THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTHERNPORTIONS OF THE CWA. STILL LOOKS LIKE STRONG MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESISWILL SUPPORT AN AREA OF FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE SNOWFALL ACROSS THE AREALATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...SPREADING GRADUALLY SOUTH ACROSSTHE CWA. WILL LIKELY BE NUDGING STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTSDOWNWARD SOME...PROBABLY MORE INTO THE 3-5" RANGE ACROSS THECWA...WITH MANY AREAS POSSIBLY WINDING UP ON THE LOWER END OF THATRANGE. EVEN SO...A COUPLE/FEW HOURS OF STRONG ASCENT COUPLED WITHWEAKER STABILITY ALOFT COULD ALLOW FOR SOME BRIEFLY IMPRESSIVESNOWFALL RATES. ALSO APPEARS AS THOUGH SNOWFALL WILL BE WRAPPING UPEARLIER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT...WITH THE MAJORITY DONE NORTH OFI-80 BY MIDNIGHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 We seem to be grasping at straws here locally. I am taking note of PAH's ice storm warning with thunder for Sunday for Western KY. And the possibility of svr wx for NOLA for Sunday festivities two days before Mardi Gras. Gotta find something of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Dee Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Current HRRR shows Des Moines - Cedar Rapids - Rockford - Chicago area to get 2-3 inches snow total, ending about mid-night. Green shades are for 1, 2 and 3 inch totals, lighter to darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the 120hr ECMWF, been showing Gulf of Mex deep Low pressure for a few days now, this run has it closer to NOLA, that would be Wed-Thu time-frame. Buoys show water heat 70-75F central Gulf.

Jrad08 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I think KILN is still a bit in the dark on this one and locals mets are flipping coins for their forecast.. I will probably give some substance to the 18z NAM when it comes in granted it's not smoking something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
