Jan 17th-19th Rain/Snow/Mix/LES System

Falling snow being able to basically mute the ambient sounds of traffic, people walking, etc. is just the coolest thing sometimes. I was walking to my bus stop with my head down, and if I didn’t pick my head up from time to time, I could’ve fooled myself into thinking the street was empty.

I'm at 4.4" at 5pm.  The wind is picking up and causing some drifting, so the measurements are not as uniform.

Sleet is now mixing in. Snow total for round 1 is 4.7". Might add on a few more tenths, but I think the significant accumulation is over with until the backside band tomorrow, if it occurs. This storm has just about performed in line with my expectations so far.

Also worth noting that the HRRR is again overdoing the amount of mixed precipitation that would occur on the immediate backside of this low(just like it was doing up in MN yesterday, but corrected). This is not a mixed precip profile.

just over an inch here. O'hare sounds like a nightmare. Below is an update from the airport

 

 

  • inbound flights delayed at their origin an average of 4 hours 46 minutes due to snow and ice
  • departure delays of 46 minutes to 1 hours (and increasing) due to snow and ice
  • all inbound flights being held at their origin until Friday at 06:30PM CST due to snow and ice

It turned into a frz r./ sleet mix just as it's winding down a bit. So I quickly went and measured behind the evergreen windbreak and saw I have about the same as you guys in CR. Right around 3.8" or 3.9". The spot I measured earlier must've had some blown away.

For part-1 he seems to be is. We should get both parts tho by the looks of things.  :)

Are you sure no part2? :blink:

NOAA:

All in all, most of SE MI can expect up to a half inch of accumulation

during the day Sunday but there is potential for some in the I94 to

M59 corridor to exceed 1 inch if the initial eastern moisture surge

is stronger.

I’m cruising in the city and the snowfall is majestic. You can see it falling in waves when looking at the street lamps. The wind is just enough to blow the snow around.

 

Looking at radar trends, I think N IL may be in line for some of the higher end totals. Nice plume of deeper moisture heading our way.

Not a fan of radar trends here. Out in Indiana the ZR/snow line looks to be North of where models had it this morning. It's going to start as snow but I'm worried about an early changeover to rain in the morning. And the overnight snow is pointless if rain is just gonna melt it all tomorrow.

My snow total is 4.5".  It is freezing drizzle now.

 

My guess was 3-4", so a little above that is a good total.
