Frog Town Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just measured 4" here in Toledo. I think everyone in Ohio, outside of the snowbelt, had their guard up after years of dry slot, virga, wtod, etc., and then to wake up to this! We are all in shock, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Measured 3.2" a little while ago. Best rates have been this morning. Overall, ratios have been blah, but I think we kinda knew you had to get into good bands to get the fluff. LOT's call of 3-5" was money. Over 30" for the season now IMBY. Looks like winter again. I'm pleased. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pleased. Yeah. Kudos to them on this. I’ll probably end up with 2” of pixie dust. As forecasted. They were fairly consistent on this despite the razor thin cut off bi secting the metro.

homedis Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 5.6” and still cranking, I’m super impressed. Is this what it regularly feels like to be on the east side of the lake? Lol 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 At 2.2” with steady snow. Would be cool if the heavy stuff over the Decatur area would wing through here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I'd imagine by looking at radar, it's snowing an inch per hour. I'd say the models did pretty good with this, atleast in se mi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 most places around CMH should have 11-12" OTG at noon....then models show about another 6 hours of snow after that.. Pretty impressive, won't beat #1 2008, but definitely could come in as #2 largest snowfall in CMH history since that would require greater than 15". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago916 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 4-5 inches and still cranking! Should get to 6 with it still snowing and the main LE band still north of here! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocATL Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Close to 2 inches in Naperville though we might cash in on a bit more lake enhancement based on simulated radar.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSNOW Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 looks to me that the Milwaukee Lake effect band is now reached Waukegan and will merge with the Lake enhancement of southern Lake and Cook County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago916 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Interesting the different shapes to lake effect/lake enhancement. Almost like there's fingers of lake enhanced snow so between the fingers there's virtually no snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSNOW Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Izzi Lake enhanced snow has overperformed overnight with totals of 4-7" observed near Lake Michigan in Cook County. Snow to liquid ratios have been on the order of 25-40:1 with the lake enhanced snow. Guidance depicts a strengthening low level convergence axis this morning with similar moisture and instability profiles, which would favor a consolidation from a multibanded structure to a single band or two of more intense lake enhanced snow. Given the expectation that heavy lake enhanced snowfall with rates around or just over an inch per hour will continue across Cook County the remainder of the morning and into at least the early afternoon, opted to upgrade Cook County to a winter storm warning. Additional snowfall of 2-5" seems likely near the lake, which on top of the already 4-7" that has fallen should leave snowfall totals near the lake in the 6-12" range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
