Michigander Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 How often does this happen with big storms? That would be a huge NW trend. I wouldn't expect anything that extreme but who knows. You guys are looking fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Changing your name to "ping" could indicate that you have certain reactions to cold weather lol, true. Name change cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Weird to see the NAM the only model doing something like this. Usually it's the most dynamic and wet with these SW flow storms. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 18/5 at Goshen Indiana right now with stiff east wind at 18 and gusting to 28 Think that dry air will be feeding into this system from the east and ne for awhile and enhancing threat of icing potential in forecast areas.

BowMeHunter Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 According to the radar I should be right in the middle of a light to moderate snow, yet I don't see a flake in the sky! The wind is picking up though. WAA snow always seems to underperform here and ends up farther north than modeled.. I figured dry air might hurt us to.. I can like the NAM again.. Beer Thirty and a prayer for those that will be going through a nightmare in the ice storm. Please stay safe. Chatty bunch while I was gone.. about a beers worth of catching up to do.

cyclone77 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It shows how remarkable this storm is given how such a bad run like this still gives the QC and Chicago an inch of precip or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afterimage Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 0z RUC... If this/RUC verifies, would the far West placement indicate warming in our area, Cent/NC Ind and more rain, less ZR or as it wraps up and moves east still same result?

Baum Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It shows how remarkable this storm is given how such a bad run like this still gives the QC and Chicago an inch of precip or more. yeah...i didn't think the QPF took much of a hit....

Harry Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 NAM does finally close off aloft--but it is late to the party. Convective feedback issue? Note the big QPF bomb it has at 24hrs in W.TN/W.KY. That is where the run goes astray. or seems to anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordoFabulous Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 West side of Muncie. Heavy sleet and only sleet. Very few, if any, snowflakes or rain drops mixing in. Sleet has covered the ground to about a 1/4" or so, enough to grab a handful off the ground. There is a very light glaze of ice on the basketball rim outside, but it hasn't changed significantly since I last checked it a couple hours ago.

That is where the run goes astray. or seems to anyways. It has to be. The run really doesn't even make sense. No way the NAM pulls a coup and beats the GFS/Euro/CMC/UK here. I am going SREF NMM/ARW and RGEM for a more realistic threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
