Is anyone getting any snow under those streamers on radar?

Some of these snow squalls are pretty beefy.
I-44 is reported at least partially snow covered down by Cuba... as are city streets!

Is anyone getting any snow under those streamers on radar? Yep. I'm near Lindbergh and Baptist Church. Definitely snowing but it's just kind of blowing around everywhere. Lots of snow snakes |

Low level cyclonic curavature combined with temperatures near surface that are in the DGZ so... actually effecient snow making with what little moisture is left.

That... and the unidirectional wind thru the column is creating these streamers

The watch is there “under” the wind advisory which is occurring now. The advisory takes priority over the winter storm watch which isn’t showing up in the visual representation |

Boy I'll say they're efficient, I probably had three maybe four inches of snow but I can't measure it cuz it's so windy.🤔🤔🤬 Guess I better "write in" just kidding.😁 |

Looking at the webcams in chicago it is amazing how much snow melted there today. You can see the grass at the lake shore.
Amazing what that strong easterly flow can do to that area.

You have to have snow for it to melt 😂 By the lakeshore probably had like 2 inches in the morning and then it rained for 5 hours. |

Well, the band held together and went right over me but it was more bark than bite. Sporadic dusting around the edge of house and outbuilding.

Well, things look to relax for the last half of January. The GFS would look to support a return to the December pattern. However, it is out on its own as the GEFS and EPS lend absolutely no support to it. Also, I’m having a tough time buying the long range of the GEFS or EPS as both are calling for a persistent ridge in AK, which would argue downstream troughing. However, they are showing that the ridge is going to get undercut and therefore, we go zonal. I completely see a relaxation of next week, but full on return to December I think is out of the question. EDIT: Well, after looking at forecasted teleconnections, things look to get absolutely screwed for the last half of January. MJO going to warm phases, AO trending back positive, PNA trending back positive. This all sucks. Yeah looks like things could get "interesting" again after the first week of Feb or Feb 10th. My hope is we get a sneaky zonal system lol until then. Or a sneaky clipper! |

Happy we still have power. These snow streamers sure are fun to watch! Credit goes to Snowstorm920. Been ripping here on and off in Northern Wildwood. Just enough upward vertical motion (-omega), the unidirectional wind in the column (coz), temps at the surface similar to the same temps in the dendrite growth zone/strong low level cyclonic curvature/squeezing out all the moisture in the column (Chris). The best lift is actually below the dendrite growth zone! Oh and I love dry snow in the teens bc it's all sticking (even it's it's not much). Looks like we could have a dusting (today) on top of a dusting tomorrow. Hey it's snow on snow lol!
