Tom Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 That snow falling up stream in SD is a lot heavier than what was being forecasted by the models and tad farther south. Hopefully it holds together but models show it weakening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosaints Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 probably going to weaken tom but check out the mean ratios on the SREFS. Impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 12z RGEM showing signs of another possible brief period of LES for SE WI/NE IL early on Thursday morning. This model really does well so I would start paying attention to this tonight/tomorrow. If that wave can track a little farther SW we can have another decent LES event.

bainbridgekid Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 My family in Evanston says they ended up with close to a foot last night. Take it with a grain of salt though as I don't know how carefully they measured.

Geos Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 State Police in northern Lake County, IN are asking no one to go out until this LES band lifts out. Interstates have been gridlocks all day. http://pws.trafficwise.org/ipws/nw/index.html# High resolution models are bringing that same LES band westwards tomorrow!

Tom Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Mike Caplan's microcast showed a lake effect band hugging the lakeshore Thursday morning but not as long as the one we just had. Could enhance totals lakeside totals for tomorrow's Clipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 ^ Nice intense lake plume, could it wobble to the west??? It's possible, look what happened 2 nights ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Not sure Tom. Been out of the loop on the runs since this morning. Today's snow was nothing special. Maybe a half inch. Still can see patches of grass.

Geos Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 0.4" here today. Wind has been constant enough to keep patches of grass visible. Some drifting occurring, but it's manageable.
