Gilbertfly Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Starting to stick to the roads around Naperville? Looks like it might be a late rally for you guys on the sw side yes....finally getting some nice clumping and fatty plates....starting to stack on the paved areas including streets. Not sure about main roads though that were likely pretreated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Scott - there's nothing on the ground at the office in the Loop. I'm in Logan Square (3 miles inland) and the 3" we had in the fronto band yesterday evening is a slushy half inch on grass now. Currently raining. My flight was canceled as I was on the train to ORD - huge gradient in accums across the city. Hey Andy! Wow, well kind of like we talked about yesterday. Looks like a nice final band in the city now. You gotta get a red tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 dmc hit the nail on the head. The upgrade to warning by dtx was probably because of a fast start. Here, we had 0.1" this morning, which mostly melted now it has begun snowing again. We will probably dryslot again before getting a nice 4-5 hour period of heavy snow which will be most of our accumulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanis Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just walked around the property. Good amount of melting and compacting ongoing, tree branches cracking under the weight of the heavy, wet snow. Gonna be quite a cleanup when it warms up in a few days.

snowcaine Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Have a disappointing 6.2" estimate here, with the uncleared snow board and most of the yard under 5.5". The heavier snow band ended up in northern Iowa and not central like some models (Euro) predicted, although the surface low seems to have tracked plenty far south for us. I'd say that's pretty great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Nearing the 2" mark on the hot tub cover... Grass around 1.5" and the cement starting to glaze over with a slush. Trees are caked with accumulation too since the air is so still. Can't wait for the main event to arrive, just wish it was later in the day when temps would be more supportive of +SN.

There is 8.7" of accumulation now. Rates must have slackened off after 2am and/or due to compaction. About 5" on the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Rip city for awhile here this morning. Probably around 3 and change on the grass now. Roads are greasy. It's actually kind of fun walking around (working) in this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 DTX up the totals to 6 to 10" not surprising considering the fast start here. Should be no problem getting those totals. It was a dumb call going with an advisory from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually kind of fun walking around (working) in this stuff. Good to see you checking in. Congrats on the snow. I'd imagine that's it's not much fun to work in though. I may actually get 2-3" out of this. IWX expanded their advisory areas to include Huntington County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extremewx52 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hello all. Looking forward to watching this thing rip this afternoon in northern Indiana. HRRR showing 40dbz for a few hours with 0.5" of QPF in 3 hours. Cross section showing some really strong negative EPV aloft for a few hours this afternoon. Dare I say I will be looking out for thundersnow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Snowing big flakes for a few hours now. It is slushily sticking, but per webcams not as much as just to my west. Wonder if its a bit of influence from the water? Nothing like whats going on in Chicago wrt stark accumulation contrasts, but noticeable nonetheless. The main show is several hours away here, these are just mood flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
