  1. Have been wondering if there was some sort of MVC in E IA, as that whole complex has been spiraling on radar for a while. Upon further review, it looks like that E IA complex is tied to the vort max in the trough moving through. So when combined with the narrow corridor of 50-54 DP's (And the other solid environmental factors), this is probably why we have seen production with there and not much happening anywhere else.
  2. There's a very narrow axis of 50-54 DP's that have been feeding in, and that was likely just enough to make the magic happen.
  3. so many poor saps went to iowa for today. kids these days. .
  4. There is currently only a handful of DP’s of 50-52 in a very narrow corridor, from SE IA down into E MO. That’s not going to cut it. HRRR definitely taking an L on this one. .
  5. Shaved a few degrees off the north end. In the end it doesn’t matter much, with the HRRR alone on an island. .
  6. It’s gonna take more than the 40’s DP’s most guidance has. .
  7. ya gotta remember your previous trolls if you're gonna keep the bit going.
  8. you still bring everything inside in the winter, eh?
  9. his would too, if he didn’t paint it. .
  10. This is still a pre-pattern shift thread the needle-ish kind of setup for most. Definitely wouldn’t get too invested for a few more days, but consistency/support at D5 is at least good for now.
  11. This is a given at this point, the SPV is going to be significantly disrupted late this month and into February. Taking that into account, along with other factors (MJO movement and teleconnection evolution), it most definitely will lead to a volatile pattern, in which the overall pattern shift will likely occur in phases.
  12. if you want to make that weak argument, let's look at a few random RFD climate periods... Snowfall average for 1901-1930 climate period: 22.8" Snowfall average for 1931-1960 climate period: 31.6" Snowfall average for 1991-2020 climate period: 37.1"
  13. ORD doesn’t get that all that much LES, and we all know this side of the lake doesn’t in general. .
  14. threaded the needle to 0.2” of snow at ORD overnight, with the backside snow showers.
