Jackstraw Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Am a little surprised. Expected a few hours of lull from the models but it hasn't stopped and is actually snowing the heaviest of the event right now. Was out about 45 min and visibility never got better than a 1/2 mile. We're up to 5 now and still coming down at good clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Haven't even been able to get into >20 dbz stuff yet. Nonetheless, the duration should allow us to get toward 4", maybe just over with any luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different setup but locally this reminds me of that January 2009 storm in LAF in which you painstakingly crawl your way toward a semi-respectable total. Enjoy the snow.

Measured 7.0" at 6am, but haven't been out since. I shot some pretty good video of numerous cars stuck and even a snowplow stuck early this morning. Some of the roads were the worst I've ever been on and I got my 4 wheel drive SUV stuck twice. Some light and variable winds is creating some minor drifting on the backside of my apartment complex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md4hzwW6TcM&t=4s 1257 PM SNOW MACOMB 40.47N 90.68W 01/12/2019 M10.0 INCH MCDONOUGH IL TRAINED SPOTTER JUST OVER 10 INCHES.

cyclone77 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 3.5" here as of 1pm. Had a little over 4" at work when I left about 45 min ago. Had a nice period of rates around mid-morning. The snow is fairly wet, and is sticking to trees, etc with relatively light winds. Looks like perhaps another 2" or so, so we'll make a run at 6". If you would have told me yesterday we'd have a shot at 6" I would have spit out my drink. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Snowing heavily still here at Fortville but looks like we will enter dry slot for awhile this afternoon before more returns from EVV nw to Carbondale come ne.

Chicago Storm Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Snowing decently across the LOT CWA right now. Totals range from a DAB near the IL/WI border to 6-7" far south. 1.7" where I am in Oswego right now, with about 1" at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot all about that one since it was such a narrow path of snow and we got whiffed on it. I'm thinking the official total was somewhere around 10 and half inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
