The radar returns along that band were pretty intense looking for quite awhile. Can only imagine how hard it must have been snowing considering how heavy it snowed here under lighter returns. Had to be an awesome sight. In the end it seems like the NAMs and GFS were both right. The NAMs had the right idea with the band of heavier precip, but the GFS was pretty spot on with the placement of the heaviest totals. Euro was a tad too far north. GFS had seen that in one of its final runs where it deviated in placement with heavy snow from central to SE IA! It was our star player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConvectiveIA Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Just an FYI if I'm not trippin, Radar echos seem to reveal that tonight's wave is a bit further north at the moment than 00z models had placed it, and it's snowing in southwestern Nebraska a good clip which the GFS and NAM missed but the GDPS hinted at. Still far to our west and tough to be able to say it will stay on that trend but it's something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Picked up 5.5" for the last 2 events, tomorrow looks like a general 6-12" across the area. Best pattern of the winter aside from the first 2 weeks of Dec with that Lake Effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Got between 4 and 5 inches here last night, thanks to Lake Enhancement. Snow depth is back to over a foot on the ground. Hopefully the GFS's obsession with multiple rainstorms in the long-range disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Still looking good for 2-4" across the GTA tomorrow with locally higher amounts due to possible LES enhancement and deformation bands. Thermals look good for decent ratios (12:1 to 15:1) as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 GFS is very bullish on the weekend event. Pretty much constant snow for much of the area from a Thursday night through Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoalCityWxMan Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 If the gfs or gem has a clue, parts of the Chicago area may have near normal snow by this time next week. One can only hope.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Finished with exactly 1 inch of pixie dust both my house and DTW last night. Building up the pack and the snowbanks. Tonight looks like a few inches then onto Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look to tack on another inch or two tonight. I would be nice to have a daytime event though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to get lucky tonight with another inch or two. Days and days and days of snow... You see the official measurement for Kankakee was only 3"? Lol. Horrible.

Indystorm Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Winter storm warning now issued for the KY bluegrass east of Louisville over to Frankfort and Paris for .25 inch of ice with possible power outages. Up to .2 inch of ice in Louisville metro. Fits Feb, climo for the Ohio Valley. And PAH has now issued an Ice Storm Warning for Poplar Bluff, Sikeston, and Cairo region in their CWA.

Chicago Storm Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Looks like 1-3" for much of the area tonight, with a likely axis of 2-5" SW/NE across the southern CWA. 1.5" sounds good for ORD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Models backed off a few hundredths for here/QC. Had consistently been showing around 0.1", but now more like 0.07-0.08". Should fluff up to close to an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoalCityWxMan Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The hrrr continues to show a possible SW-NE oritented area of banding tonight through IL-MI. Curious to see how high totals get where that band sets up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast it ain't a futility record based on what Hoosier posted a couple of weeks ago. Chicago will definitely exceed 20" by the end of this week imo. It amazes me much how much the weather varies between Chicago-Detriot-Toronto, given there relative short distance between each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to run through the heart of the CWA now, and into the south-central metro. Comparing the 12Z nam to the 0Z, it appears the main axis coming through Northern Indiana and Se MI is taking a more W-E orientation vs the SW to NE. In turn bringing North into Chi Town, but S into Toledo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 3km NAM, HRRR and RAP all showing around 2-5" across the GTA tomorrow. Depending on ratios, I'd lean closer to 4.0" atm. Doing a brief surface and upper air analysis, there is an abundance of moisture especially with the southern stream. We'll see if that can play a role tomorrow. Nonetheless, should be a quick hitting couple of inches tomorrow just after the morning commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Never made a call but it looks like that better band will be here or very close by. Even just 4" would be my biggest snow of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
