Thundersnow12 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 looking more at this, it doesn't get much better for a heavy snow event for me out in the western burbs of the chi metro area. the city and southeast might have mixing issues at the onset but besides that were golden on this run.

Two more days to go. http://www.wxcaster.com/models_text.htm Shows ORD starting as light rain going over to 5.5 inches of snow and still snowing on the NAM.

cyclone77 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Cyclone this is may be an in my backyard question but I think it does have merit. Do you think that the storm could mature even quicker than what was depicted by the NAM? Yeah I'd say it's possible. Jet structure like this is capable of explosive cyclogenesis. Knowing there's a potent storm about to develop is one thing, but the timing on when the explosive development is what can be very tricky, as that also has an impact on the eventual track.

Chicago WX Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 WGN RPM model going with North Trend.... When hasn't it? Mesoscale model, strong jet interaction, etc...yeah it's going to go up up and away. It'll be fun watching the Dev/Backup RUC when it gets into range.

Yeah I'd feel pretty optimistic about things from Chicago on east. The further east you are relative to the heavy snow track, the better chance you'll have at picking up the big amounts. Further west there's more questions about the amount of organization in the early stages. Michigan looks like it has the potential to get slammed real hard.

Your right, my post was very IMBY in re: to my location on the lake. Besides we do have snow cover, so surface temps could trend down slightly overall.

If I could, I'd lock up the 0z NAM, take my 2.2" and run. Regardless, and it probably needs not to be said, but you have to think the other models start moving back north soon. Euro...yeah yeah Euro love, blah blah...is a pretty hard model to beat when it's been on this scenario for 3 out of the last 4 runs. Enjoy the rest of the 0z models boys!

WeatherTree Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'm basically throwing in the towel. Good luck to whoever gets it. Hopefully we can manage an inch of LES down this way over the weekend. Not going to bother with this anymore. Dont post here much as I'm in a local Cincinnati forum, but just went to Buffalo last week for the epic LES event, because winter is not nice when it comes to snow around my neck of the woods. I mean I only average 22" a year. And when you've lived here, these storms come dime a dozen, especially in Dec/Jan. I even consider Columbus the dry slot capital of the world and Cincy also falls into that category from time to time. Since Monday Ive had a surface low track from KBMG to Richmond, In to KCLE, and I dont see any reason to change this. All this secondary development talk etc. is better placed in the garbage can. We all know the GFS pushes energy out of the mean H5 stream too quick, not leaving enuf vort energy behind, thus appearing as a SE bias, which has been its problem for years, and they still do not fix it. Nonetheless, Heavy snows will fall in northern 1/2 of IL/MO stretching ENE into NW 1/4 of Indiana and central to south central Lower Michigan. Im posting some maps in my local forum, but I'll throw a few up here later for those interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SW wind on Friday really scours out the low level cold air and there isn't much CAA until after the big storm gets going. 36F seems possible.

Hoosier Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 i don't have the heart to cancel, but since some folks are coming in from a ways out of the city, it might be morphing into a sleep over. Obviously still a little early but I can see lakeside areas staying warmer a bit longer with significant qpf/snow until the winds turn offshore. With wet snow and winds cranking up, that could get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 not if cranks even more I have this feeling that this storm is going to end up tracking even farther north than what is depicted right now. We have seen this how many times over the last several years? This type of setup almost always ends up with a strong NW trend on the models.
