bud2380 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 So the GFS call of 0” IMBy on yesterday’s 12z run proved to be way wrong. And the 1-2” it showed for most of the week proved to be way wrong. But the Euro showing the snow extending into central and western Iowa was also way wrong. So in the end no model appeared to do great. It was a tricky storm for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiTownWeather Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Took a look at our WSW before it expires at 6PM... looks like they snuck in total accumulations of 8-12 to match what has actually fallen. Yesterday it was suggested 5-9 inches. Nonetheless, I think LOT did a great job forecasting this storm. It’s tough forecasting when their is a mix involved and they just about nailed it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Was in the deep south unexpectedly during this storm flying out of KFNT. Came home this evening and for the first time this entire season the snow was actually getting deeper as I got closer to home. Nothing like y'all west or south or north of me but I was really surprised by it. Finally, on the last day of January we got our first plowed snow storm. Wasn't here to take measurements as it fell but my driveway had a solid 3" and there's 4+ on my lower deck out back (tho that may have benefited from some blowing off the house roof). I was like a kid at Christmas using my shovel to clear everything. I am 99% certain I've never had to wait this long into a winter to put a shovel to snow with the one possible exception being the great Nino of 82-83.

It makes sense based off of the radar images I was seeing early yesterday morning. Isn't nice to see mother nature throw you a bone?

Tom Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 As @brianc400 posted above, there are many reports coming in of 12"+ totals and they reached far and wide across the local viewing area. Last night, I was watching the local news at the mets were saying ORD had 9.9" as the final tally. I didn't believe it as there was no way they were that low. If it were to be, gosh...can you just add a 0.1" to it and make it double digits??? J/K...so, when I looked at the official data that was recorded last night they upped the daily tota yesterday that made it officially the seasons first double digit storm (10.8")!
