Maxim Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Is your wind direction coming out of the north now? I think think the cold front is knocking on your doorstep.Pretty much due east at the moment. Suspect it will shift more to the north later on.

jlp Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Does anybody have thoughts on how much snow Waukesha, WI might get out of this storm? The forecast is only calling for 3-6 inches right now. Hopefully we get more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlp Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I would say 8" is a good bet in Waukesha. All depends on how generous good old lake Michigan is to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6789 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Snow rapidly forming in front of the cold front in IA/WI. Looks like it's intensifying as well. Looks like NE IL is rapidly changing over as well. Still looks like some mixing issues even between the I-88/I-80 corridor for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 It still amazes me how many people believe their pinto is a monster truck and going 10 over on snow covered roads is a good idea. Tip for Nebraska folk: Anything besides dodge and I-80 is a soup sandwhich, don't go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Finally switched to snow here in the last 15 minutes. It had been raining for several hours and totaled 0.20". That warm tongue that popped up into Iowa today had some bad timing and was stubborn.

Tom Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Look at that pocket of 42F water in Southern Lake Michigan. When the column of air cools enough tomorrow while the winds howl off the lake, expect those bands to start flowing off the lake. Notice how broad the 40F body of water is all the way up towards GRB.

WBadgersW Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 And the light snow has started. A couple hours ahead of schedule though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Been in Chicago at UIC all day, so I was didn't get the full updates until now. It looks like the storm has gotten wetter from the looks of it. People definitely talking about the storm, and quite a few people at the stores tonight as well! Winds shifted off the lake awhile ago. Low ceiling and near freezing now.

NEJeremy Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'll trade haha Des Moines is getting smoked, pretty weak sauce here so far.We had 1" in our first 3 hours of actual accumulating snow from 4-7p. Hope it picks up as it's really not coming down that hard, and it's going to be a struggle then to even hit 6". Our biggest flakes were earlier this morning when it was too warm to accumulate.

Sleather Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I set my DVR and recorded ABC 7 5pm newscast and their RPM model showed 17.1" at ORD.

Tom Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I think ORD could hit 18-19" depending on LES.That lake plume which is poised to develop around midnight Sunday is prob going to be intense. Gut feeling is it will drop 1-2"/rates, but not sure how long it can stay put before winds veer more northerly. The consistent flow off the lake all day Sunday will be exciting and probably noticeable on radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
