Winter 2024-25 Medium/Long Range Discussion
Jackstraw replied to michsnowfreak's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
I have no memory left but... I do remember sometime back maybe 2015? not sure when a similar pattern as this set in sparked off by a very strong very late season (like December) west Pacific tropical system that was absorbed and enhanced an already strong low in the northern jet stream. When it hit the US it allowed a crazy near record (maybe record?) setting polar high in 1050's to come crashing into the plains behind it and that ridge set there for over a month suppressing the storm track well below the MD line. I think it was a record setting winter for much of the deep south. It was just bitter cold arctic tundra up here that winter and it sucked. Except for last week I feel like that's where we're headed for the next few weeks with polar ridges in the mid to high 1040's being advertised. Note: Once again, my memory is severely flawed these days -
Nice! I'm at 3.5 on a clean board, still falling. The Dendrite machine had to work it's ass off to get this. I barely saw a flake larger than a dime but the salt shaker in the sky was shakin' hard. The WWA around here was definitely warranted as roads went to (and still are) complete s@$t between 3 and 6. This is the kind of nickle dime pile ups I'm used to around here lol. 10 inches in a week? Where the hell am I

On a roll here and if the upper level system can help pump a couple more 10ths of moisture up here and high SLR's I'm going to call 5 here from 9am Fri to 9am Sat. Whatever we get tomorrow and tomorrow night it will make this the best winter here in 3 years. Have to admit, it doesn't take much
-
I was very surprised here with 6. I was expecting 3 at most. Hey ya got something lol. I have a friend in Cincy he was very happy he got to gloat for once lol.
-
It was brutal. Those little bumps of 5.8 and 6 right next to .2 is where I am. We ended up with 6 that I measured. I drove about 2 miles East and there was grass. We had a bit of a TROWAL or Defo set up over us for a couple of hours very early in the morning. We got 4 of the 6 in that 3 hour period from 2 to 5am. KIND was mentioning this possibility the day before. Great snow for our southern brethern that are so often just spectators. Ya'll got more coming!

Got 2 here so far. Keep getting some bands drift through with +SN for 15 min then -SN prisms in between. Dry slot should stay south but then the only hope of reaching warning criteria is going to be some Defo coming through 3 - 9 hours from now me thinks. If I can get 3 more that'll give me 10 or so so far. That will equal my totals of each of the last 2 years. Seems I only have heart attacks when I get less than a foot of snow per winter so here's to another pitiful 3 inch storm after this one! lol. PS: Found my dog
-
Finally got a decent band overhead. Trying to find my dog lol

Yeah just started here. I went outside and spit about 20 minutes ago to raise the humidity. It worked! Lol
-
If I hadn't had 2 heart attacks in the last 2 years I could probably walk south a couple hours and go from a couple of inches to 10 lol. Famous North I70 sucker lane strikes again.

Hey, I'm in that box too. Too hell with Jupiters magno rings Quantum entanglement is forecasting a big dog here. My fishing reel looks like Phyllis Diller's hair and I'm sick of messing with it.
