Money Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Storm ended up going a lot faster than models projected, hence the low snow totals. MKE was right a few days ago lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWisconsinWeather Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Storm ended up going a lot faster than models projected, hence the low snow totals. MKE was right a few days ago lol I think most in the area will end up between 3 and 5 inches, which is a bit higher than they predicted yesterday afternoon, but about what they were predicting by evening.

Tony Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Well I am going to bust high on my call.

ChiTownWeather Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 @ 2:35 i measured 2.5 inches. Then an hour later @ 3:35 I had 4.2 inches. That makes 1.7 inches an hour!

FV-Mike Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Great to see the snow fall during the day. Officially 5in in St. Charles and I would say the same here. An incredible winter overall. something we will remember for a long time. Just hope the rain isn't as heavy as it may be on Thursday.

Tom Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Nice hot tub pic, now all you need are some snow bunnies and your set! So far 3.75", maybe pick up another 0.5" with the last band. Overall, I would say I'm pleased with the outcome even though we didn't really see those heavy snow fall rates for a longer period of time. Can't complain since 3 days ago forecasts were calling for mix/rain so any added snow today is a bonus. Sitting at a solid 16" snow depth.
