cyclone77 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 This final band has a nice snow globe effect to it. Flakes are a lot drier than the dense/wet/granulated type flakes we saw for much of the event. Visibility and snowfall rates not nearly as intense as the stuff from earlier, but it still has a nice look to it. Definitely over a foot now, will take final measurements in the next half hour or so when it ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malacka11 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Looking outside, you can still see the outline of the sidewalk and all. We have at least four inches of snow on the ground, but I swear way more than that must have fallen already. Need to look around tomorrow, but I imagine it's drifting about quite a bit.

As the system starts to pull away, will be interesting to see if any of the late bands get some lake enhancement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I think it's all snow now and temp has bumped down to 35. As far as what happened in Chicago near the lake, you knew going in that amounts were going to suffer there... it was just a question to what extent. Really when you think about it, it shouldn't be that surprising. Consider that 925 mb temps for much of this evening have been progged to be just a little below 0C. You can get away with that farther inland but it's really hard to cool the low levels sufficiently near the lake with that kind of airmass at this time of year, especially when the onshore flow is so strong. The good news is that CAA is kicking in so we'll see if a mini rally can take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Wow, sheets of snow and down to 34. Pretty intense... wish I could stay up longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Final total here is 12.8". Think there's a chance there may have been a bit more, as there's gotta be some compaction taking place with that much snow. I'd say about 8-9" of that fell in the 4hr period between 5 and 9pm. I'll post the whole storm time lapse sometime tomorrow. I'm hoping I caught a few of the lightning flashes this eve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Official total at DVN is 11.9", and at MLI 13.3". My 12-14" for here/QC was not too shabby if I do say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The 11.7” total at Rockford makes the current snowstorm that city’s biggest November snowstorm on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner88 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Heading to bed in the midst of the closest thing to a blizzard I’ve experienced since GHD 2011, albeit with a lower intensity of snow. Accumulations don’t look like they’ll make the 8-12” cut but it’s still been a heck of an early season system, a win by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radtechwxman Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 This deformation band fell apart relatively quickly. Sooner than I expected. Think I may be on the lower end of my snow totals but still a nice storm. Had periods of blizzard conditions and insane snowfall rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Lost power for a very short time during the midnight hour, and have lost it a second time running on 30min now.Was up to 5.1” as of midnight, but have added a decent amount since with heavier snows returning. Still looks like a run on 12” is in the cards.After decent winds during the evening and then a lull, winds have increased again since midnight. Numerous tree branches/limbs are down across the area, ranging in size. Came across one on a car earlier, and a neighbor has a large one down on their house and patio. ORD gusted to 51MPH about 30min ago and had 3.3” of snow as of midnight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 3.3" so far at O'Hare.A run into the 6-9” range still looks possible. Especially with colder air filtering in and better snows moving in again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this your biggest snowstorm since 2011? I know you went quite a few years without any meaningful snowstorms now isn't this your 2nd one in 2018?

RCNYILWX Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The 11.7” total at Rockford makes the current snowstorm that city’s biggest November snowstorm on record.Assuming they cracked 12" for the event, it'll push them into a top 10 snowstorm overall.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 17.0" in Oskaloosa, IA is the highest total I can find right now. Impressive. As for MBY, just an awful storm...one I hope not to repeat anytime soon. A bunch of miserable cold rain...and then after it flipped, we've been stuck in subsidence hell. Got some light snow dancing around in the wind now, but it's nothing more than a mood setter. Regardless, it's been a relatively wintry November...so all is not lost.

Harry Perry Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Just measured 3.0” here in Battle Creek. Heavy snow still coming down. Visibility 0. Wind gust to 33mph. Power went out a bit ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 And RFD's storm total of 11.7" at midnight would alone be good for 3rd place for their snowiest November on record. Alas, this storm pushes them up to 15.6" for the month (thru yesterday), which bests the 14.8" of Nov 1947 for 1st place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
