SE trend coming days FTW :weight_lift:

This seems plausible given the NAO weakening, but I can't believe we won't be able to get ONE storm to go more south with all of this cold air around. Typical OV screwjob.

if i were a betting man...it's that this thing corrects even further west.... Relatively speaking, it's not that strong of a low. Crank it down 5 or 10mb and its a powerhouse storm potential for wisconsin and iowa.

according to other threads....

southern IL to W. OH to CLE then an attempt at reformation in central VA.

fugly fugly fugly....warm tongue will be lapping like crazy up through these parts

I'm going to go the negative route on this one since being positive didn't work out last time. I'm calling this one a miss already.

Unless the Euro is kicking out the blocking a bit too fast....Then I could see it coming back SE a bit, but you may indeed be right :raining:

What does Euro show for the ST. Louis area? Sounds like mostly north and east of here...

This is interesting:

From tombo:

hr 150 has a sub 1004 low over north central ok..

hr 156 sub 1004 low over central ark...not looking good for the east trof is almost neutral tilt west of miss

hr 162 sub 1000 mb low over southern ill

hr 168 sub 996 low over southern indiana

Thanks.

It's interesting how the temperature proiles are below freezing down to I-70 yet the 540m thickness line surges to Windsor, ON.

Verbatim it would be an unusually good hit here, other than potentially some mixing of/short changeover to sleet.

Oh well, we wont' know what happens with this system until the preceeding clipper plays itself out.

Telltale sign of mixing, though we're 6 days out. It's gonna change again in 12 hours.

Can anyone post the images to the EURO or a link to it?

It has yet to update on the ECMWF site, UNISYS and PSU.

Sounds like a classic hit for Detroit judging from the descriptions (front end thumping and deformation snows).

It is. Euro would bury us. But it is a week away. First things first, the clipper is only about 4 days away lol :)

I just did my first almost spin-out of the year going to school, even though I was going like 15 mph :arrowhead:

Rear wheel drive and ice doesn't mix.

Full tank of gas and a couple of girls with the sophomore 20 in the back seat should help. Like daddy said go practice in a parking lot and get to know your pony... When I was your age my 84' IROC with a couple 80 pound sand tubes in back where they wont shift around worked wonders and was almost unstoppable in snow. Some say not to do that because when the rear breaks loose it will be significantly more difficult to recover. I never had that problem - but it CAN happen especially if you panic or are not familiar with the ways your pony can buck you off.

Set of 4 Bridgestone Blizzax tires from the Parents Clause will treat you right also.

Quite a contrast between those temps and the areas just southwest out of the snowfield. 9 in Sterling, while 21 in Muscatine.

Yeah snow cover no doubt making a difference.
