But in light of the other indices being terrible...you have to try to find some glimmer of good. That's about all I got. I just wanted to say that I appreciate all the stuff you post soooooo much. You almost always have something very helpful and interesting to view/discuss. Thanks! Like Baroclinic mentioned above, it seems like we might be moving into a pattern where the northern jet is dipping just far enough south to allow some alberta clippers to move through...the 18Z GFS has about three snow opportunities for many in the midwest within the next week! So things are looking a little more positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTown Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Preparing for the blizzard of Dec '11 tonight .5 to 1" expected with little to no wind. Things might get a little out of hand here, well atleast on the drinking end of things I'll update later after the neighborhood Chirstmas party. Almost started a thread for the Dec. 16th I crapped in my pants storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Sounds like things are getting kinda crazy out in SE MN - almost 2" of snow! Clipper band trajectory looks good for areas SE to Janesville to Waukegan and northern Suburbs of Chicago. I never thought I'd get so excited about an inch of snow forecasted. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no hard feelings, just waiting patiently for the first synoptic event to follow. Even the December 2006 period had the big storm that went close to Chicago even though the operationals took forever to get there. Outside the cutoff slop, very little to follow so far. We need a Christmas miracle. my brain just assumed you meant mother fooker...oh well, i guess i'm a little on the vulgar side...well i'll salute someones half inch while i'm watching it rain...
