Tony Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Been hearing about this "Artic Squall" line coming through our area for Sundays snow. I know the models have been showing this feature off and on throughout the runs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosaints Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Nice.. That could fluff up to around 5 inches here. Anyone have access to wind maps from the EURO when they become avaliable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 12z Euro staying course...I think the ratio is too low for the snow to water ratio. It is going to be quite cold; and while the wind will not be great I don't think it will be enough for a 10:1. I am thinking at least a 12 or 13 to one. Mind you I am a self proclaimed novice, so I could be wrong. Quote Signature here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone8 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Via La Porte County Sheriff's Office...Johnson Road has been closed due to drifting and blowing snow. Several other roadways within the county, including State Road 2 west of La Porte are experiencing heavy drifting. Again Johnson Road is closed to through traffic, so avoid the area. If you do not have to be out driving, please stay home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 It's wild out there right now with the wind and blowing snow. Can't wait for the snow to start falling and really create a wintry scene out there tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 18z REGM is pretty generous with qpf...its been doing quite well with Clipper systems this year. Note: There still is more snow that could fall with the arctic front and/or the squall line that Tony mentioned earlier beyond the 48hr period.

Money Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 i an thinking 5-8 or maybe 10 to 12 if this sticks around for a while. Seriously? Most models hardly show 3-4. No way someone gets 8. It's a fast mover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hopefully a lot of us in N IL/IA/S WI can squeeze 6" from both Clippers. Most of us would have about a 10" snow depth by then, maybe even more. It would be nice to build it up to where it was in the beginning of this month.

Tony Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I got this map from another forum for Sundays system. We could be looking at some very heavy snow rates in a relatively short amount of time. I could see some areas getting 3-5 and depending where that artic squall lines up add a couple more to it. The artic front will just be bonus snow for some but that could be interesting to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
