1/11 - 1/12 Lower Lakes Snow Event

_{I'm mostly 2" from Miller Rd. north to downtown Crystal Lake, west to 31.}

[Trinomial]

Just shoveled about 2 IMBY.

Snow is accumulating onto everything in site...all the tree branches have a nice coating.  It will look very nice tomorrow when the sun is out...oh ya, might have some LES for lakeside counties.  Maybe up to 1" if it sets up right.

[Blugga]

Just measured. 2.8 inches of snow. Still coming down, but just light showers. May reach the 3 inch mark.

Looks like it's snowing pretty good at Wrigley.

It's been basically a snowless Winter here so I live through cams like these!

Hit the three inch mark here in Buffalo Grove. After the snowstorms in the past week and a half Chicago is now back around average for annual snowfall. These 2-3 inch snowstorms start adding up after a while

I guess you can consider yourself lucky to have been in the narrow 25-50 mile wide corridor of 1-3" snows in the west and north counties.  Southern counties about to get some snows.  Looks like the band is starting to fill back in.

 

Took some pics tonight as the scene whitened up again with this powdery snow that accumulated  on trees/bushes nicely with barely any wind.

 

 

Geo's, looks like you may cash in on some LES tomorrow night.  Models starting to pick up on a decent band rolling through NE IL after 6pm tomorrow for Cook/Lake/Du Page counties.  Might tack on another 1-2".

 

 

[Tony]

Have around 2.5 in here in Bartlett and looks like returns are starting to fill back in again for additional snowfall.

[Seahawkfan]

Picked up little over two inches still snowing should be around the 2.5 3 inches by the time the Snow band moves out. Take it since rest of the week looks dry.

[Geos]

Nice pictures Tom!

 

Well that would be a surprise to get some LES tomorrow.

[Niko]

My total snowfall was 4.1". Not too bad. I must say, from previous small accumulations and this snowfall added on top of it, I now have a very nice snowpack out there. BTW.....lows tonight going subzero, BRRRRRR.

 

I am still waiting for that BIGGGGG snowstorm, near a foot+. I have a feeling it is in the offing.

[East Dubzz]

I think we ended up with about an inch here, but that was still enough to make my drive into town a real SOB.

[Tom]

Lake Effect snow showers developing near Chicago shoreline....

[Maxim]

My calls were solid for both ORD and MBY. I ended up with 1.4" while ORD ended up with 2.9"

[Tom]

Looks like there is more of an easterly component with the LES band.  It was supposed to be developing over Portern County, IN but I could see it hitting E Cook/Lake County, IN.

[Tom]

Light snow already falling in Downtown Chi-town...band is slowly pushing inland...

-SN started in Racine before 3pm. Kinda comes in waves.
