DAFF Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Another chemical plow for the books.... 0.5" at best here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbcmh81 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I really look forward to this falling apart as it heads east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 0.8" as of a bit ago. Not snowing as efficiently as earlier, and flake size is smaller, but still coming down nicely. Started 2hrs ago so we've managed a respectable 0.4"/hr rate. Better than I had anticipated. Too bad the event will wind down pretty quickly in the next hour or two.

Not a bad total considering some of the drier models. Looks like the best banding is just south of 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the flake size was better than anticipated, with nice dendrites falling in the more enhanced returns. Outside of those enhanced returns it rained much smaller flakes. I'm thinking LSRs were probably >15:1 thanks to that period of larger flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Up to 1.1". Pouring small flakes. Looks very sparkly in the street lights. Thinking we may have a shot at some light pillars a little later while the snow is shutting down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The HRRR runs earlier that had 0.10" liquid falling here were too bullish. I ended up with 0.4" of snow from 0.03" of liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Nice dendrites again. May end up with close to 1.5" out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Nice dendrites again. May end up with close to 1.5" out of this. 1.5". Still snowing very lightly with very small flakes. Moon and even the stars are now visible through the thinning canopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm driving but from the looks of the radar on my phone seems to be some decent returns moving into central In. Is it verga? Just curious as I'm about half way between Indy and the IL. border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Stars and moon are easily visible, with sort of a hazy look to the sky as very tiny snowflakes continue to rain down. Sort of the opposite of the top down saturation process we saw earlier before the snow began. The column is still saturated, and the ice crystals continue to descend from higher up in the atmosphere with little to no sublimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Exactly 1.0" here with still a little pixie dust falling. Don't think it will be enough to get to my predicted 1.2" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachLB Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Good 1/2 inch down. Snowing decent still but pixie dust. Might make my 1.1 with couple hours to go before it clears out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
