Powerball Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 52 minutes ago, Owensnow said: Man looks like DTW and TTF are going to be walking a fine line here between wasting half of the storm on sleet and whatever. modelling solutions are stronger and further north west. might even get into a dry slot for a time“ according to the latest Hi-Rez NAM but looks to be convective snows in the tail end deformation area. Still not overly confident on snow amounts from Detroit and South The changeover is progressing SE pretty quickly from what I can tell. Per the SPC mesoanalysis, the snow/sleet line is over Detroit proper now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Mesoscale Discussion 0147 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0317 PM CST Thu Feb 17 2022 Areas affected...portions of central into northern Illinois Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 172117Z - 172315Z SUMMARY...Moderate to occasionally heavy snow is expected to continue for at least a few more hours across central into northern Illinois. Up to 1 inch/hour snowfall rates are possible with the heaviest bands. DISCUSSION...KLOT and KILX dual-polarimetric radar data and surface observations have shown moderate to heavy snow falling across central into northern IL over the past few hours. While the 850 mb cyclone centered over the IL/IN continues to propagate northeast, away from the mid Mississippi Valley area, 20Z mesoanalysis continues to show modest 700 mb WAA and associated frontogenesis taking place across central into northern IL, where a saturated, sub-freezing troposphere is in place. The WAA and frontogenesis will continue to foster efficient dendrite growth within a southwest-northeast oriented snow band across central into northern IL for at least a few more hours, where moderate to heavy snow is expected. Up to 1 inch/hr snowfall rates may accompany stronger portions of the snow band. ..Squitieri.. 02/17/2022 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Got home about 15 minutes ago. Took several measurements (lots of drifting) and came up with 4.2". Pretty much been an inch per hour since it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluoronium Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 It's impossible to make a good snow depth measurement due to all the drifting. The snow hit full force around 10AM and it hasn't let up in since. Even if official totals end up lower than GHD 3 here, this storm is going to be a lot more memorable due to the crazy snowfall rates and the bulk of the snow falling during the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owensnow Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 HRRR really pushing the dry slot party all the way up to DTW. heavy snow is from this gonna be further west than projected. Going to switch to snow here after sleet and then dry slot, then back to sleet again it might finish with two or 3 inches on the ground here east of TTF Wow Gotta say the models have been all over the place with this thing and the northwest trend has once again proven itself fatal for me I think hope I’m wrong but radar really doesn’t resemble anything decent for this neck of the woods later on.

Harry Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Best rates of the day so far. Probably near 1/2 inch a hr? Wind makes it near impossible to measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has finally started to ramp up here. Not sure how long it will last though? The decent stuff does seem to weaken ( per radar ) as it approaches. Ofcourse I am having to go by iwx radar with GRR being down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Dry slot is gonna knock on the door here but should (hopefully) stay just to my south. Modeling not handling that aspect of the system well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
