Guess we'll see! Yeah I thought it would be a bit farther inland. Been snowing with the sun out here at times, something that is not all that uncommon near the edge of lake effect.

Hoosier Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The area around the Region Rat is probably getting it good. Hopefully we hear something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimillman Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Might get a quick inch or two later once the band moves back west. The HRRR is pretty aggressive on that front actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just returned home. Typical lake effect. I left my house at around 7:45 and it was sunny to my immediate west, and not snowing at my house. I live right by Kosciuszko Park. I drove to work to assess our lots, to determine if we need to bring in a loader to move snow or if we can do it ourselves with our plow. Work is in Hammond between Indianapolis Boulevard and Kennedy Avenue. It started snowing when I turned east off the Boulevard. Moderate snow at work. Went east to Kennedy, maybe a half mile. Snowing hard. Drove north on Kennedy back to East Chicago, heavy snow moderating to light snow to no snow. Drove to Montrose Deli in Chicago via LSD to buy Polish food. Sunny. Return trip the cloud wall was evident along the state line. Light to moderate to heavy snow along Indy Boulevard north to south. Heavy snow in Whiting. Very heavy snow as I type. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetjanet998 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 FOR THE 18Z TAFS... THE CONCERNS FOR THE CHICAGO AREA AIRPORTS ARE: - WINDS NEAR DUE NORTH AT OR JUST ABOVE 10 KT AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON - A FEW HOUR PERIOD OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS LIKELY LATER THIS EVENING INTO OVERNIGHT - VARIABLE AND LIGHT WINDS MONDAY MORNING BECOMING SOUTHEAST AND GRADUALLY INCREASING IN THE AFTERNOON LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL REMAIN EAST OF ORD AND MDW THIS AFTERNOON, THOUGH THE CLOUDS ARE LIKELY VISIBLE FROM MDW TO THE EAST. THESE SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO HIT GYY HARD THROUGH AT LEAST 20Z WITH BRIEF SUB 1/4SM VISIBILITY AT TIMES. THE BAND OF SNOW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY SHIFT EAST SLIGHTLY INTO THE AFTERNOON AND THEN RETROGRADE BACK TO THE WEST THIS EVENING. CONFIDENCE ON SPECIFIC TIMING OF THESE SNOW SHOWERS TO MOVE BACK INTO MDW AND ORD IS LOW, BUT CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM-HIGH THAT THEY WILL MOVE BACK INTO THE AIRPORTS, ESPECIALLY MDW. MOST PARAMETERS FOR THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW THIS EVENING ARE BECOMING WEAKER THAN THEY ARE NOW, HOWEVER SOME WILL STILL REMAIN FAIRLY DECENT. SO BRIEF VISIBILITY UNDER 1SM IN THE SNOW SHOWERS, MAINLY AT MDW AFTER 04Z, IS PLAUSIBLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Irritating watching this band still be in Lake county but the problem being lack of better inland penetration. Nature of the beast. There's always the option of getting in the car and driving about 2 miles north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 My dad in Toledo says "We have officially gotten 8.5 inches. We may have gotten a little bit more at the house" Going west-east the whole area got 8-12” with a foot out by Sandusky where they got additional lake effect. It was deep in the driveway, I’ll take a picture but the neighbors super duty F250 actually got stuck for a bit when plowing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
