Dare I say this could be one of the best weeks of your life? At minimum 15" of snow and a GB SB victory? Wow, man...wow.

You have no idea lolll.. Sad part is I'm missing all of the Packer hype and reads because of this storm. This is a disease worse than any drug.. I should not be up right now but yet I am at least half of the nights this winter waiting for the euro. Yes I'm suckered into its cult. I wanted to drop for summer but the superstion in me said that could be bad luck going into a favorable Nina and whats an extra 240 bucks to keep it all spring, summer and fall right!!! then it got to watching it way to much in the off season.. Euro in itself is a drug. Gl man! This is the Hoosier storm and I would love if you guys cashed in all snow even if it takes a lot from me.. Hoosier was waiting for go time for his thread start and if he got dinked over I would be pretty upset.

I'm excited for you man. Good luck with both the storm and the SB.

Hoosier is going to have to pull some real good juju to make this a predominantly all snow event here. I can hear those pingers already...but we'll hope for the best. :)

Might be time to fire up Prince.

If everything goes as progged, after this storm, Lafayette will be placing 2010/2011 on a Top 10, and we still have much of Feb/March to go! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Just think if that system next weekend/early following week were to back up a bit and nail you guys... wow. I wouldn't put it past happening.

To the other poster re: CID getting more precip than DVN... CID should get more WAA snow tomorrow and tomorrow night than we do and that likely is the big difference. New QPF from Euro would be getting us on the doorstep if not over 20" mark... I just can't buy it. I just can't, its just the part of me that always see these type's of storms in other parts of the country and I've never seen anything like this in my life right here. I didn't know about these forums until a few years ago. And technology is so much better now than it was back when some of our biggest storms have occurred here. Of course in 1987 with that big storm I was only 11 years old.

Not to bother you LAF guys or anything, but what do you think of the ice potential? Im alittle worried about it. The models show atleast an inch of ice. With strong winds that could be bad. I dont like where Im sitting because a shift north would mean more ZR than IP. BTW, good luck to you guys. Right on the razors edge. I still think we will get ours later this month or MAR.

If that (or any) QPF were to verify verbatim, we would set a new snowfall record for the Quad Cities. That is one of the interesting aspects of this storm. Do you outright forecast something that has never happened in the last 150 some odd years of record?

edit: oops i misread you said next weekend/early next week.

I think your 1/3 rule is pretty applicable here. 20" would be nice, but just seems so outrageous considering past events and climo. 10-15" is a safe bet, and more specifically 12-14" will probably be my final call tomorrow for the QC unless there's some major changes.

It's a tough call right now for you. Just as we're riding the sn/pl line right now, you're probably riding the zr/pl line. Small shifts are going to make a relatively large difference it seems. Wish there was a clearer answer right now. I'm not sure we get any definitive answers soon either. Stay tuned my friend. :)

Thanks so much man.. I feel pretty guilty ever time that NW trend starts rearing its head and that's why I have been awful quiet in the thread... I hate when the NW trends shoots others down from something we all can't get enough of and the thread shrinks to nothing almost in the past.. Hope to hell LAF and me can find a happy medium at worst.. All I wanted is 6-8" and I'll take that like a ma if it helps others and the Hoosier crew.

We shall see then. I appreciate the response. Whatever occurs I plan on enjoying it thourghly. Some of the solutions are just extreme! Good luck up your way. Hope you get a foot!

No one really seems to be interested in the severe convective potential in the SE quad of the low as it blasts to the northeast? With the LLJ at 70+ kts and some minor amounts of upright instability available I'd expect to see a severe squall line develop with the FROPA. Maybe even some low-topped super cells in the WAA ahead of it.

Prince? :unsure:

"1999" came on the radio on New Years eve in 1998...it is one of those weird memories that sticks with me. I ended up getting blasted with the biggest blizzard of my life right after that. Fast forward to 2/12/2007. I'm in the car and the song comes on the radio. I got hammered with the second biggest blizzard the next day.

To get 40.3" and sneak into 10th place on the list, we would only need 6.6" of snow from this puppy. I think 6-7" is very realistic at this point. At least IMO. :)

Well don't forgot about the frontrunner tomorrow night. If we can stay all snow, that could put down 3-5". If that would pan out, we just need another 1-2" after that. :guitar:

We're set! Remember our conversation earlier in the winter when we were getting the December blitz? The sky is the limit at this point.

With that said, I am going to head back to the hometown Tuesday morning after class. Hopefully we stay all snow up there.

Unfortunately everybody can't win, that's just the nature of the beast. Reality is the jackpot will be north and west of here, and I'm cool with that. I'd be happy with at least 6" of snow after seeing all the flips and flops on the models. This storm has probably taken a few months off my life. At this point I just want it to get underway, you know? :)
