Nice, 12z GFS throws LAF a bone at the end. Some FZRN to boot. :arrowhead:

Much too bullish for us. I'd give us a 10% chance of seeing a snowflake at this point. ;)

Still think N IN/S 1/2 MI are in the game. Hopefully it delivers for them. :)

NAM is warmer than the GFS. GFS would support snow here by 60 hours while the NAM still has a warm layer aloft. We know how models struggle with magnitude of WAA, but being on the western side we don't have to worry about that. So the question becomes how fast we can cool the column in the presence of mod/heavy precip. I'm still thinking we see flakes, maybe even a decent burst to whiten the ground if things break right but not sold on anything more than that.

I'm in the minority, but I'd love a December 2010 repeat. :P

I wouldnt mind it as much as most others in SE MI. We had the 6" snowstorm on the 12th that barely budged in depth of even beauty (outside of places near the roads) through Christmas. Yes, it was very quiet weatherwise but it was very festive to have a nice layer of snow down for the holidays (and it got very active after the new year!)

Agreed. Looks like we get into -4C at 66 hours.

If we get an early changeover then the main mitigating factors left are warmish/wet ground and marginal BL temps. This may be less of an issue with northeastward extent given most favorable dynamics/bulk of heaviest precip rates coming well after sunset.

How about PTK?

I don't have access to soundings but the Euro actually looks like a decent hit for LAF.

over an inch of precip with 850s below 0, surface never gets below freezing though.

On another note looks like the HPC shifted the low track a little bit to the east. On the OH/PA border now compared to over CLE.

Surface temps blow, but everything else would normally be a go. Thanks for posting the information. :)

Hopefully the dynamics help out with cooling the BL some. Gonna be very interesting to watch how this plays out. If that shallow/stubborn warm layer gets driven out early enough this may be a hell of storm for you guys. Definitely looks good for central lower Michigan. I'm rooting for you guys! :thumbsup:

After many days of taunting & teasing snowstorm lovers with this system, models coming together for decent low /994-1000mb/ set up over Eastern Lakes, mainly over Lk Erie/Ontario and a great position for snows IF it were assuredly cold enough. Devil is in the details in the 1000-850 thks and 2 m temps which still look border line at least part of the time period. The positive is the nice cold core 500 MB lift to aid in precip/snowfall rates.In any event, a sloppy wet snow changeover and pcpn amounts continue to be impressive. Latest GFS has come around back to a bit colder solution for Tue night for some accumulating on grassy area snow over at least SE Michigan. Fun times continue..

Now if only we could cement that track for the rest of the winter! :snowman::devilsmiley:

Yep THE most important track and like the '70s...Ohio Valley Lows are in vogue but will she stay there? LOL

What I like about our region is that even if ALL else fails, we have the Alberta Clippers to fall back on. If im not mistaken (you would remember better than me), werent the '80s an Alberta Clipper paradise? We had 50-55" for 3 consecutive winters in the mid-80s without any real big snowstorms.
