Hoosier

We haven't seen that look at all in the past few years.

Simultaneous posting is the best.

Euro looks like it will be quite significant. Maybe north of Canadian.

Ha. Will believe it when I see it.

Would like to see more members bullseyeing the LOT I-80 corridor in IL and IN. Not that many of those on that run.

Without even looking at a prog, you will be right 99 times out of 100 if you bet against a repeat of March 2012.

Wait a day or two and it'll be gone.

Yep. And it started with that storm on 2/6/07. What a nightmare that thing was on the roads because of how cold it was. The hilly roads were really challenging.

At least we had a few really nice storms in LAF, highlighted of course by 2/13/07.

We got shafted man.

It seemed like there was shovelable snow every couple days starting with that storm. I was still in high school at the time and for whatever reason, my school did not cancel the morning of the 11th. There wasn't a whole lot of snow on the ground yet when the school day began but the storm had been pretty well forecast. I was ticked about having to be in school so I had my mom call school and I left after 1st period lol. My school did end up dismissing early but it wasn't until like 11 AM.

December 2000 was probably December 11. That was the standout storm that month.

I wish more members were farther south. It seems like it's been forever since a storm of significance jackpotted I-80 and up into the city, vs areas farther north. You know this all too well.

I think it depends if you're looking at it on the cwa scale or the whole picture. The cold air certainly looks marginal in the IWX cwa this weekend.

Re: GHD, anyone remember the wording out of IND about the ice potential? That office isn't really one to engage in hyperbole, but the statements were really strong. It ended up not being as bad as it could've been though because of sleet mixing in. I recall them live blogging during the storm... it was fun reading the frequent updates.

A heartbreaker in LAF with the epic sleet storm. Not that far away from some pretty respectable snow totals but it just didn't happen. We were mixing in snow at times during the sleet but couldn't get it to turn to all snow until the very back end. Still a cool experience in its own way since I had never seen anything close to that amount of sleet. And temps were in the upper teens/low 20s during the bulk of the sleet iirc, so it built up efficiently.

Where da snow?

Anything is possible but I'd be surprised if the mask mandates are gone everywhere by May. I think a lot more states could have them pulled back by then though (we already see that in North Dakota). Some governors will probably be slower to end them. Also have to keep in mind that the big box stores, etc. have their own mask rules, so there could be some inconsistencies even as the governors pull back. The sociological aspect of all this will be fascinating to watch. Once the mandates end, will some people choose to continue to wear one? Also, if cases start to rise again after the mask mandates end, will there be a quick reaction by governors to do another mask mandate or will they ride it out?

Some "changes" with the mask mandate coming tomorrow. They will be required on federal property and while traveling, such as flying. Airlines already generally have mask requirements though. Meanwhile, North Dakota recently ended their mask mandate at the state level. I appreciate a different tone from the top, but I'm sticking with what I said months ago. It's too politicized and hard to undo. If you haven't been wearing a mask all this time, chances are you won't start wearing one in your day to day life now.

There may be a more spread the wealth storm in this sub than January 1999, but I haven't found it. The cold antecedent airmass was obviously very important but the other aspect was that it was starting to occlude when moved into the Lakes, so the warm sector got deflected/pinched off to some extent.

I frequently wear 2... a disposable and a cloth. If I'm going to be quickly in and out of some place then I usually just wear one.

This idea was mentioned in another thread. It can serve as a catch-all to look back on past storms, with old radar images, model runs, afds, obs, pics, etc. Doesn't always have to be a big storm. If there's a smaller storm that you remember fondly for some reason -- maybe it was on your birthday or it was a quick hitter with high rates or whatever -- post away.

Hoping to get into some enhanced banding.
