quick question Baro

would an earlier phase and more amped solution result in a deeper storm or a faster occlusion or both?

i want those heights pumped up along the east coast, but at the same time i dont want this to occlude so far south.

a deeper storm with the same general area of occlusion would be ideal. do you think that is more likely than what the models are showing, or would you lean towards a further south occlusion?

its a delicate balancing act here with that menacing PV standing on my back deck.

appreciate your thoughts as always.

To the bolded--it likely would be more inline with the amped guidance like the RGEM.

Welcome - I have sorry to read the special statements from the NWS Offices - really feel sorry for everyone in the path of the ice storm. I don't think many people have any clue as to how severe this could be. Our region is still recovering and rebuilding the infrastructure. There are no words to describe what is going to happen in some of the areas about to be hit hard.

Good luck and just know that life will get back to normal - no matter how bad it gets. :)

Beau...I am just a bit to your southeast in Seymour, Indiana....you should come say HI!! haha

I'm here in Hamilton, Ontario, were they're getting rocked with LES right now. Forecast is for 4" tonight, 4-6" tomorrow, 6-10" tomorrow night. They'd be absolutely crippled with additional significant accumulations on Wednesday if it wasn't for the model trending more amped and further north with the ul low track. Gonna get Hamilton dryslotted on Wednesday me think, but not before 14-20" :arrowhead:

Fascinating stuff. This sounds like it could have implications for us here in the Southern Plains with regards to placement of heaviest axis of snow. Short-range models are shifting heavy snows further west into Oklahoma. Would you agree with this assessment?

Maybe a little--but it prolly won't be too much farther W than progged. Central OK still looks like the prime target.

Yikes, Muncie is 19 with freezing rain.

Yes, I just walked the street, it, as my buddy says, sounds like someone "pouring rice krispies" outside, yet, there is heavy ZR also. As I mentioned earlier, all from this first wave, I am quite sure folks are ill-prepared. We spoke to people all day and it was "oh you are crying wolf.

Other than the big tornado outbreaks, I don't think it's a stretch to say that this could become one of Indiana's biggest natural disasters in a worst case scenario.

20 here with unknown precip being reported at LAF.

Seems like the Indy metro area is going to be ground zero for the freezing rain event. In term of socioeconomic impact, you're probably right and by a long shot.

Do you think we get above freezing in this event Hoosier? I mean, the lows going way west. I dont know what to think. Its nasty right now though.
