6789 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I still have some light to Moderate snow going on right now, going to measure soon but I'd say I might have gotten close to the 4" mark maybe even 5" Edit* I have measured numerous sites, the most reliable one would be the once that I always use, that areas has 5.0-5.5" with snow still falling!

Hawkeye Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 A day before the storm I put our absolute minimum snowfall at 2". I ended up with 1.7" The late Friday models weren't far off with the precip total (model avg was ~0.20", I got 0.18"), but that was down quite a bit from earlier and on top of it the snow to liquid ratio ended up being awful.

East Dubzz Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Got somewhere between 1.5-2" with this storm, wasn't ever able to get an official measurement.

I believe they are only updated since 7am this morning and I am sure some of these areas already have more than that and probably a little additional more snow to go. Not bad.

Tom Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 If you get underneath these razor thing bands, the snow is coming down rather heavily with fat flakes. Maybe pick up an additional 1" out of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DominicR Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 ORD at 4 inches. Not bad. Might not be the general 6-10 inches but most did at least 3-6 inches with some local 6+ in there. It was suppose to snow all day but most ended by 930-10am.

BLIZZARD09 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I think 4 inches when the forecast was 6-10 , has to be considered a bust. It seems these days we cannot accurately predict snow amounts even HOURS before the storm Is snow forecasting still so unreliable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ended up being bumped down to 5-8 inches today and most places achieved that. Ok yeah I see what you are saying but not that bad.
