VMB443 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Anyone in MKE getting good LES? Radar is showing a nice band parked over the city. I'm west of downtown probably fifteen miles or so, so we are just getting a nice gentle snowfall with some bigger flakes - not sure how much accumulation it will add up this far west of the lake, but definitely a nice snow globe effect to add to our first real snowfall since last April! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowawx Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Measured 5.8 here. Underperformed a little bit, but still good overall.  Some really impressive totals in far northeast Iowa. 14 inches is the highest I’ve seen so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmesnow Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 I spent the night at Alpine Valley until close, was some amazing powder, absolutely beautiful. And now there's hope for more on Tuesday, though it's not going to be the delicious powder if it's going to be that warm. The trails are open in SE Wisconsin for snowmobiling, going to live the life of going between boarding and snowmobiling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slow forward progress of the deep troughpivoting through northwestern Ontario today is allowing the activeportion of the frontal zone to lift further north into the CWA, ashas been the trend in the guidance since yesterday evening`s rapidrefresh runs. Furthermore, a slightly deeper and more compactsouthern stream wave currently invof the Arklatex will now beallowed to track slightly more north and west than previouslyforecast.

Currently, getting moderate to heavy snow (blowing snow also) and it is expected to be snowing all day and into parts of early evening b4 finally tapering off. Overachieving for sure. Not so much the SLP come north (it obviously didn't) but it's a bit better organized and forcing is better in the NW quadrant. Gives us a decent storm vs the weak sauce many SR models were flashing just 36 hrs ago. 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season)  Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13)  Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5"  2021-22 = 35.6"    Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2"  2019-20 = 48.0"  2018-19 = 56.1"  2017-18 = 68.3"   2016-17 = 52"   2015-16 = 57.4"   2014-15 = 55.3"   2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!)  2012-13 = 47.2"   2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianc400 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 It continued snowing for half the morning, and I ended up with 6.25. Not bad! It will be interesting what LES amounts to here. East-west roads in the open areas are starting to drift quite a bit already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 My snow boards only have 3-3.5" on them. Based on the rates the last few hours last night I was guessing around 4 inches. This morning I see there are plenty of 5-6" reports from the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area, plus several 4.5" reports, so I guess I'll just record 4.5" for my yard. I hate windy storms. The wind destroyed the ratios. My gauge catch, melted down, is actually 0.53". That's way higher than I expected. I then took a core sample from one of my boards with 3.1" on it. It melted down to 0.48", a ridiculous 6.5 to 1 ratio. The wind blows the snow around and compacts it. If there was no wind, I probably would have measured 6+ inches. 2 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2"   '21-22: 27.1"   '20-21: 52.5"   '19-20: 36.2"    '18-19: 50.2"    '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycee Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 To be completely honest, and maybe it’s cuz I live on concrete and there’s not a lot of grassy areas around here, it looks like we have maybe 3” I can’t for the life of me find how that’d be true but I guess we’ll see. We may have gotten shafted in this part of town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
