If so, it won't be due to who is measuring. (Not me with either event unfortunately)

stop spamming my thread. .

We're about to double the season total in about two days time. That total is currently 6.6" at ORD.

Non-measurable DAB at ORD, RFD and at home as well.

ready2b DAB'd.

If 12z guidance holds the trends from 0z/6z suites, can probably bump that up to 2-4” for most of the area tonight and chalk up 0.5-2” for Monday. .

A scattered DAB is locked in for early tomorrow morning across parts of the area. Then you can easily lock in 1-3” for much of the area tomorrow night into Sunday morning as well. Monday is still a wild card it appears. .

not sure what’s worse, that or the rainer call. bad run for sure. .

the usual quota of an amped NAM run has now been met.

The next one is as we flip the calendar into February. .

None of them are fading. .

saturday mood flakes*. .

strategic gif choice was made. .

Hinted at it in my post yesterday. Big issue is that ENS have been horrendous past that 1-1.5 week range. So it will be a wait and see type of thing.

.

way too soon for a thread. thing is still a week out. given the trends of every clipper this season, it’ll probs my trend drier/weaker.

0.2” ORD and 0.1” RFD from the duster Sunday evening. .

We have just transitioned into yet another pattern, one in which favors an Eastern US trough and the PV meandering around and just northeast of the Hudson. As many have alluded to in other threads, it's a fairly zzz looking pattern for most of the sub-forum if you're looking for something great, though there will be several shots of colder temps. Should have the opportunity for some clippers to ride through the region, but really any hope for anything really interesting will be tied to whether or not we can get a stronger clipper (such as what is currently modeled for early next week). It appears this pattern is here to stay through very late month. Beyond that, there are some signs that we could transition into yet another pattern sometime around the flip into February. Current look of that pattern would be one in which is more active once again. ...But ENS have been horrid beyond about a week to week and a half out this season, so I wouldn't jump on anything being shown yet.

Final totals of 9.9” Cleveland and 18.1” Buffalo. .

you need a hug. .

SPS for 3”/hr rates in the Buffalo area. .

That 14.3” at DSM is highly suspect. It’s the highest reported total anywhere so far (IA and the region), and is nearly 2” higher then the next highest max report. .
