Lace 'em up. The roads will be skating rinks for a few hours this evening.

At least SOMEONE is getting dumped on in the subforum.

I thought triple-phasers were declared extinct.

Sounds about right

So for Indiana and Ohio the switch is flipping from Alek's WAD to CAD. Not cold air damming, but Cold And Dry.

I think you mean 0.1", but I feel your pain

0.2" Top 4 event

No slant sticking! lol

A met friend sent me this two-page info sheet concerning the development of an Accumulated Winter Season Severity Index (AWSSI). It is a collaborative effort between NWS and MRCC to index winter conditions for a particular location. Although the paper is pretty basic, it highlights the data being inputted to develop the index. What are your thoughts on the concept and do you feel the data to be used is sufficient to make the index useful? https://mrcc.purdue.edu/research/awssi/AWSSI_InfoSheet_2pg.pdf

You may be correct, but by the time winds swing to favor LaPorte and Berrien, moisture goes bye bye.

Greek for "Ready 2 B buried"

Although it's fun tracking winter storms here, the higher population centers and therefore the regions with the most posters are once again in the crosshairs. Meanwhile, down here in FWA land, we will once again get fringed. Snow totals for the season: Nov. 0.7" Dec. 0.8" Forecast snowfall for 1/2: Around 0.5" Maybe Ohio will adopt us.

I'm kind of puzzled at IWX not hoisting advisories as both the 12z NAM and the 13z HRRR depict a stripe of 2-4" north of US 30 and south of the IN-MI line, especially since this is the first real threat of hazardous travel. My only conclusion is they're not biting on the thermals of the models and warm pavement. We all know when it gets to ripping, it can quickly overcome both obstacles. We'll see.

That seems to be the modus operandi lately.

I'd forgotten all about that dude. He was an lol fest.

Just catching up here. Didn't he get banned and later came back under another username, or came back from another username to Frankthetank?

It looks like SPI got screwed out of the No.1 latest last year due to a lousy 0.1" on New Year's Day, unless they picked up more on the 2nd or 3rd.

Good ol' Tornado Tony

Detroit is the new Mt. Geos

"This was an EF5. Period. Maxed out violent wedge, long-tracked tornado accounting for numerous records including G2G, a TBSS on radar, lofted debris to 35k feet, foundations swept clean, scouring, vehicles tossed massive distances, trains thrown from their tracks." This.

@hawkeye_wx I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that SPC issues the Watch box in coordination with local offices, and the local offices have the latitude to add counties within their CWA at their discretion.

Temp records are going to be obliterated over the western half of the sub on Wednesday.

In BuffaloWeather's hood on Saturday, looks like fun.
