SchaumburgStormer Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 everything recoated....high end -SN as vis is dropping.... still small plates mixing in with the pixie dust....better than expected Doing much better than expected out here thus far. Everything recoated, probably getting close to a half in down (via my through the window guesstimating). Certainly not fatty dendrites, but not dust either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Actually decently sized dendrites in the heavier returns out here. I'll measure at 8:10pm which will be an hour since it started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natester Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Been mostly tiny flakes but recently the flakes have gotten larger. Possibly got around 2.5 inches since the snow started and expect to see 3-4 more inches before all set and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Other than that 45min period under a decent band, the rest of the event so far has been spent sub 20dbz with tiny flakes. Looks like a real nice band is moving in again now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJosh Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm seeing some light flurries starting to break out here in Ironton, Ohio, and from my own forecast, the NWS's forecasts, and just about every other forecast I have seen, that isn't supposed to be happening just yet. I feel like this forecast was a total disaster all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 took the dog out for a mini jebwalk during what appears to be the height of the storm based on radar returns.
