1/24-1/25 Major Winter Storm - S. IL, IN, and OH

[Jackstraw]

Almost 2in here. Winds light with some gusts buts enough to blow this stuff. Dime-Nickel flake size. Some 1 footers out there already. Country roads have drift ripples building. Hope this front end lasts.

DAB- so far. Better than I thought considering I expected snow to start around midnight.

Lake enhancement is coming onshore in the immediate downtown area currently.

Snow started here in the last half hour. Dusting on everything. 3° with a dewpoint of 0° so I guess you could say it’s pretty humid out.

Multiple meso-lows out over the over the lake. That southern one is potent.

You think they drift west enough to make it on shore?

IWX already thinking about upgrading us, upped us to 4 to 7

Nice frontogenic band setting up over me. Finally getting better rates and bigger flakes. Curious how rest of night will shape up.

I do think that it'll move further onshore.

The main question more-so is how far onshore it'll move and how long it will take up residence in a particular area.

That doesn’t even look real

Still migrating west a bit, has the looks of an Evanston/Wilmette special. But its definitely east of where most hi-res guidance was placing it at this point.

The 00z HRRR and NAMnest initialized adequately with it. Suspiciously low QPF response given the evolution progged, although presumably it would be higher ratio than Kuchera output.

Could this please stay over me for hours. Great flake size and rates now.
