Wowzer. Just went out to start the truck. This stuff is so wet you can hear the water running out of it.

Man, its ripping nickel/quarter size flakes sideways right now and sticking to everything that is facing north!  Probably another 1-2 hours left of the heavy stuff up this way.  I'm sitting at about 1" now.

 

Midwest, your probably have another 2-3 hours or more.

[MarcusBeier]

Snowing heavy in the D right out the gate! Woohoo...lets break this 1880 record today =)

[Tom]

Can't wait to see how all this snow looks like tomorrow morning.  Everything is coated with a blanket snow.  Should be a winter wonder land out there manana.

 

Geo's, to bad your not getting in on the action.  This is something you would love to see this winter.  Finally a wet snowfall...1st of the year.

[Tom]

SE MI looks like they can easily get 6-10" out of this...some deep moisture coming out of N IN heading right up your alley...its snowing at about 1"/hr over here right now.  You should see some very heavy snowfall rates out of this puppy.

Way off on ratios. What is this stuff like 8:1 ..Lol not light stuff at all.

[Tom]

There are going to be some lollipop totals near the Joliet area.  It has been snowing heavily in that area for hours.

 

Just measured 2.3" and its still snowing heavily and the defo band looks very solid still in NE IL.  I may crack 4" out of this one.  I can't wait to take some pictures tomorrow.  The whole scene is pure white out there!

 

@ Midwest, no kidding, this stuff is very wet.  Temps are still near 32F.  Models had temps down in the upper 20's by now.  If this was a colder storm I could see totals being way up there.

Still rippen pretty good here.

Just measured 2.2 inches here. Looking at the radar late last night that is exactly what I expected. Looks like if I subtracted my totals by 2 inches I would have had the right amounts for IMBY, ORD and the city.

Nice pics MW Built It!

 

A whole 0.2" here!

 

Wind gusts are the most noteworthy part of the storm here.

[East Dubzz]

Don't think we got any precipitation besides a couple sprinkles yesterday afternoon.

[Meichel]

4" in Troy, MI.

 

27° SN currently

Already had 4" at home when I left for work about 7am. Heavy, heavy snow with near-bliz conditions were ongoing. Went the back roads to avoid the dreaded "freeway" and all its Truckers. Had to be some 1 foot drifts on the E-W roads I was driving through. Fun stuff this morning, for sure!

[Niko]

Near blizzard conditions here. Approaching 5.5inches and still couple more hours to go. Current temp @ 23F and falling into the mid teens by late afternoon.

 

Am I hearing about another snowstorm early next week????? Could it be possible??? My forecast is calling for 70% chance for snow on Tuesday!!

[DominicR]

About 2 inches to. It rained for a decent period before chang over. Oh well. Ready for spring!

[East Dubzz]

Light snow here currently..

A picture for those that wanted sticking snow.
