stormtrackertf Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Stacking flakes as usual this season here on the south side of Taylor Might get close to double digits if this keeps up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Man, Dekalb went from being in the jackpot zone, to watching last nights snow head north, while today’s stays just south. Brutal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Latest Euro looks pretty good for the GTA with the third wave, as well. We'll see how that transpires after wave 1 and wave 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 some heavy snow rates and reports of up to 8" in northern Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indeedinger Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 6.5" here; 8" snow depth. Not a lot of blowing, so with the sun being out the roads have cleared up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Sun is definitely doing its magic now that we are entering mid-February. Lots of melting going on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Excellent flake size right now. Rates are still light but nice sized fluff balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 That band on the south side of Chicago has really solidified. Narrow area gets 5" additional this afternoon? I got 5.5" last night in Madison. Expected 4-5" so was happy. About 8" on ground. This is the best snow pack we've had in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevermind Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I’m in south Plainfield,IL about 4 miles north of I-80 and it has just been absolutely dumping snow for the past 2+ hours. Really coming down. We’re easily over 6” from this storm- probably 8-9. Another hour of this intensity and we will be double digits for sure.

ajl_from_Valpo Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 We've had big, fat flakes here for the past 30 minutes or so, and looking at the current radar, we're gonna be getting ripped for a while. Up over 6" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 It should be pointed out that ratios were once again lower than expected. MDW reported 6.8" of snow on 0.61" of liquid earlier, for an 11:1 ratio. Other similar reports as well in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Flake size has sure increased from the morning. Wouldn't call them puffballs but around dime sized. About 1.0" down so far. Rates steady between -SN and SN. Liking the slight north trend for the upper range of my 4-6" call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Nam continues to be north of the other guidance in regards to wave 3. Most of it has to do with how the upper air pattern is being handled. Tonight's runs will be important with full sampling. Hoping for the best!

snowstormcanuck Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 18z NAM and the HRRR are cutting off the snow much earlier this evening than previous runs showed. Unfortunate to have so much bouncing around with the models even while the event is unfolding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we can pull off 2.0" at-least by tonight. Some decent radar returns atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Measured 5" at 1pm at home, it has been going to pound town for the last 3 hours, fully expecting close to 9-11" at home at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
