Might be wet snow verbatim.

 

Sure. :lol:

 

One of the only storm threads I ever started blasted LAF with almost a foot of snow in the spring of 2012 or 2013 IIRC.   :santa:

 

Hoping this storm comes to fruition so we have something to track again this week.  

 

March 24-25, 2013. We thank you for that one. :)

um let's not forget the first few posts in the thread for the current storm. Many of us on the southern flank were ready to declare it another Chicago-Detroit special. Here we are on verification day extending our congrats to Louisville and Nashville. Just say'n

Personally, I'll pass on what Nashville is getting.

That's just me though.

you still need to travel 200 miles south to get a snowstorm out of it....that was my point. Even I'm too far north other than a mood coating.

Even so, let's just worry about judging this next storm's potential on its own merit instead of fretting over and comparing it to what happened with the current storm.

There's even more blocking around for this storm, so I'm leaning towards a more suppressed solution being the most likely (unless the uber-progressive northern stream wave can slow its ass down and dig far enough SW for a phase).

On the other hand, there's always been a "storm" impacting Detroit around the 22nd of February the past several years, and there's no reason why that trend won't continue.

Yup it looks great. Right now, its the only model that has a more phased solution. Thats rare for the Euro as its usually the more progressive one. Some GEFS ensembles have a partial phase. EPS out yet? 

 

Its actually the opposite. The euro is usually the less progressive one, especially when dealing with SW cutoff's but in this case its ejecting the SW energy out more aggressively/faster than the GEM/GFS.

KBUF seems to favor the Euro solution.

 

AS PACIFIC ENERGY EJECTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS FRIDAY NIGHT...
CYCLOGENESIS IN THE VCNTY OF OKLAHOMA WILL SPAWN A STORM SYSTEM THAT
COULD EVENTUALLY HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA.
MEANWHILE...THE AFOREMENTIONED SFC HIGH WILL EXIT OFF THE COAST. THE
DEEPENING SOUTHERLY FLOW BETWEEN THE SYSTEMS WILL ACCELERATE THE
WARM ADVECTION ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES...WHICH IN TURN WILL
PROMOTE SCATTERED NUISANCE SNOW SHOWERS.

THE STORM SYSTEM OVER THE PLAINS WILL PUSH NORTHEAST TO THE LOWER
OHIO VALLEY DURING THE DAY SATURDAY AS INVERTED TROUGH WILL EXTEND
TO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. MARGINAL LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS TROUGH COULD LEAD TO MORE SNOW SHOWERS...WHILE H85 TEMPS
CLIMBING TO -4C OR SO WILL SUPPORT NOTICEABLY MILDER SFC CONDITIONS.
MAX TEMPS SHOULD REACH THE MID 20S ACROSS THE WRN COUNTIES.

IT COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME VERY INTERESTING ACROSS OUR REGION
SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE STORM SYSTEM OVER THE OHIO VALLEY IS EXPECTED
TO LIFT ACROSS OUR REGION. THIS TRACK WOULD SUPPORT ACCUMULATING
SNOW DURING THE EVENING...WITH THE SNOW TRANSITIONING TO AN ICY MIX
DURING THE OVERNIGHT. GIVEN THE INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE VARIOUS
MEDIUM RANGE PACKAGES...AM NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO GO WITH AN ICE
YET...BUT THIS WILL CERTAINLY BEAR WATCHING.

THE STORM SYSTEM WILL THEN ADVANCE NORTHEAST AND EXIT OUR REGION VIA
NEW ENGLAND ON SUNDAY. COLD AIR CHARGING BACK ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES IN ITS WAKE WOULD CHANGE ANY MIXED PCPN BACK TO SNOW AS LATE
MORNING MAX TEMPS IN THE 20S WOULD TUMBLE BACK THROUGH THE TEENS IN
THE AFTERNOON.
