RCNYILWX Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 3" here in southeast/south central Naperville near the DuPage-Will Co. border. Picturesque paste.Edit: Checked a few other spots in the back yard and it might be more like 3.4". 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I just as I posted the SPC mesoscale discussion graphic, and now... the big snowflakes are here. There are aggregate snowflakes or whatever the term is, snowflakes sticking to snowflakes. It's going to be accumulating 1" per hour for a couple of hours at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for representing the Toledo area. A bit frustrated with some of the holes in the radar early on but things seem to be filling in nicely now. Just need the wet-bulbing to kick in and get the temp under 32.. Pretty rare to see the low slide just to our SE and not get dry slotted. This only happens about 5% of the time in these parts. Would of like a little more front end stuff though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Up to 2” now. Good returns incoming on radar. Definitely a nice paste job. Edit: Should add that we’re losing some of this to melting. I can hear the water dripping down the waterspouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the grass is (finally) covered for the first time this season, I'm debating if I should even clear my long-a$$ driveway. Between the relatively warm asphalt, a bit of solar energy, and melting it looks ma nature might just take care of it for me by the afternoon, leaving me just a few spots to clean up with a shovel. Perk of marginal temps & warm-ish ground temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Snowing here with 1" so far this morning from a separate little clipper moving SE. Winds off the lake enhancing the snow a little.

What are some ratio reports so far? Whatever they are, I would suspect a lowering trend now (especially outside of the primary heavy banding) as temps nudge up. It's snowing here but not really accumulating at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the low closes off and slows down just a lil, could be double digits Short term models were spot on with this yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of rates, the best rates we've actually seen here in recent years we're on February 4th, 2021 when we saw that in the same band come through and give us nearly 3" in one hour, but the event itself only lasted 3 hours and dropped 4.2". Then of course, a few weeks after that we had an 11" snow storm on the 15th and 16th but it came over the course of 2 days and was a bit drawn out. Last Winter, the much maligned February 2nd and 3rd event came in 2 waves, a very underperforming 6" with wave 1 and 3" with wave 2. Then a few weeks after that we had another storm drop nearly 7". So we've had several different good events but each of them has their own thing to pick apart. With this event, I'd have to say the ratios would be what I pick at but it will be remembered for the consistency of the models and several hours of HEAVY snowfall!

Yea long story short, again the radar as a whole for the east side, is as good as it gets as far as rates, coverage etc. This looks to last atleast 4 hours which doesnt happen very often.I've seen these bands end up to our nw so many times over the years with lows taking this path, it's just nice to see it happen for the east side, mostly macomb. Alot of my friends in the Shelby twp area are reporting power outages, so I think the heavy nature of it may be causing issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t find the website? But of course, ratios are much lower now. Still, point stands…overnight snows were greater than 10:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
