janetjanet998 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 2 inches of fluff here maybe a hair more ... just drove around the city. A little more on the north side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homedis Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Snow still coming down at a decent rate here in Champaign, flake sizes are impressive as well. I would go and measure but I’m out with the flu and a 102 degree fever lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The new Euro came in a little better with (what now is today's) wave. Could be a repeat of today, with around an inch of fluffy snow from east Iowa through northern IL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up with 2.5" of pure fluff from yesterday's action. I'd take a repeat. Consolation prizes for missing out on Monday's event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSNOW Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL 1022 AM CST Sat Jan 26 2019 .UPDATE... 1022 AM CST Updated POPs and snow amounts to increase them this afternoon into this evening. Overall, it is looking like as good, or even a slightly better setup then Friday`s event for light snow over the area today. For this reason, we have bumped up POPs significantly, and upped snow amounts into the 1 to 3 inch range, especially south of I-88 and I-290, with up to an inch north. The snow should end across the area by mid evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Looking like we see some light snow accumulation tonight here as well. This kind of came out of nowhere. Dtx still just has 40% chance of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of came out of nowhere. Dtx still just has 40% chance of snow. Yeah, I've been bombarded with texts about NWS calling for 2-4" tonight. I checked the 3km NAM and sure enough, a strip of 0.20" right through our area. At 20:1, that's 4". I'll take it. Heck, the HRRR is giving us 0.30". If that verifies, it's warning level snow for us. I love clipper surprises. We got 1.1" on 0.03" early this morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 ILX just issued a SWS for 1-2" of fluffy snow this afternoon. This combined with the surprise ~2.5" of fluff I got yesterday is an excellent consolation prize for the potential rain I'm going to get on Monday. Quote ...Another Round of Accumulating Snow This Afternoon to Early Evening... Snow will develop across central and eastern Illinois today, and diminish this evening. One to two inches of accumulation are likely, with the higher amounts northeast of a Havana to Charleston line. With very cold temperatures in place, snow will quickly accumulate and cause slick roadways. Motorists should be ready for snow covered roads and slow travel this afternoon and evening.

Toronto4 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 For those in the Greater Toronto Area, the latest short range models (18z NAM, 3k NAM, etc) are showing around 2-4" tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Today's clipper perked up nicely as it traversed Iowa. I saw a couple heavy bursts and finished with 1.6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like close to an inch and a half of some of the fluffiest snow I've seen. Pretty impressive to go from nearly -20 to moderate snowfall in <5hrs.

michsnowfreak Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 So are the ratios good? DTX changed the forecast from 40% chance of snow to snow with 1 to 2" but I noticed the HHHR is printing out at least a tenth of an inch of liquid.

Looks like a 5 hour Period of snow here on the short term models. Will certainly cover up the bare spots and put a fresh glisten on the frozen patches of snow.

Jackstraw Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Still have some decent banding right down the 28 corridor. Looks like we're almost at 2in, haven't checked the board, but its still coming down at a nice movie clip. Honestly i'd take these nickle and dime clippers the rest of the winter. Around here it usually eliminates any WAA concerns we usually have with stronger systems. I think it was 2012-13 we piled up over a foot in 7-10 days with no melting riding the clipper train. I hope the WI folks can cash in on whats coming without me getting to much rain lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
