Even though the moisture will be severely limited with this system, you really gotta keep an eye on these hybrid type clippers. The system looks like a compact, yet very vigorous little storm. It will have a pretty impressive thermal boundary to ride along as well. If this system ends up looking like what the GEM and especially the Euro are showing, then I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a narrow band of enhanced accumulations.

personally I think the clipper may be a nice swath for many north of the OH river. As far as storm 2...hmmmm....with that massive block in place, and if the clipper bombs out off the maritimes, it's gonna be tough to imagine how whatever follows does not pass under most of us.

still, a lot of stuff on the table right now....

I am almost half tempted to stop looking at the GFS, at this point it has 0 run to run consistency. Whatever they did to that model they should undo, at least before we knew it had specific biases, now it has 0 clue.

I haven't looked at it since the GGEM/ECMWF both showed a stronger clipper.

Looks like maybe an inch or two.. Clippers always seemed starved here until they get east.. Nice hit for southern MI, NE Illanoy, N 1/3 of Indiana or lil south, and Ohio does well.. looks to be like .50-.75"

Yeah. Looks real nice although I haven't got the text files for the ECMWF updated yet. Looks really, really nice for I-80 in IN/OH though. The solution basically has the same location as the 0z run cashing out but I'm reluctant to say it will stay this way. Always worth a look though.

Edit: I finally got text to update. KTOL gets .63" and KFDY gets .84" with a max temp of 32.17*

Those are the only two I've checked so far, if you want any others I'd be glad to tell you.

I'm liking our chances Saturday in Columbus, but we can't take ANY shift north. Thicknesses go to 539 as it is so if anything a bit more south would be good. Beyond that, I agree suppression may happen but seeing things south of us at this range isn't usually bad ;)

It's kinda a catch22. I think the further south the clipper digs, the stronger it eventually bombs and potentially creates a suppressive pattern for #2. We might have to sacrifice a more northerly, fast moving clipper to give us a better chance for something more substantial out of #2.

Good point, but at this stage in the game I'd rather play it safe with a better snow Saturday since even if it goes more north we have no clue if the next storm will even exist :arrowhead:

When did you get to be such a debbie downer? Piggybacking my 1/3" call. :guitar:

You can pretty much broad brush a slight chance of 1-2 over a large area and add a quick qualification that a razor thin stripe sees slightly more.

Eh, it will probably end up drying up as we move closer to the event.

I would take 1/3" though. We'll see...i'll believe it when I see it.
