on_wx Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The Fall summary is in from the University of Waterloo. Waterloo, ON Quote "There was only 5 cm(2") of snow recorded this fall which is much less than the average of 30 cm(12"). The fall of 1998 was the last time we have seen anything like this, as that year we only had 2 cm(0.8")."

Lower levels might be a bit dry still. A few 25 dBz returns east of Madison. Edit: I think a lot of this is virga. --SN here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We better not miss them if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't complain... All models had 0 qpf, but the NWS expected we may see a few flurries north of Detroit....what happens? Light to moderate snow falls for 3 hours or so. I was in Detroit during most of it and it was coming down good, huge dendrites and all. I estimate 0.7-0.8" where i was. Roads on the way home were skating rinks and saw several spinouts, had to do 35-40mph on the freeway. When I got home, just 0.2" imby and i can tell we didnt have the big dendrites, but still roads have that scary shiny look in the tire tracks. Its not a traditional white Christmas, but surprise snow on Christmas Eve is a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an uncanny otter Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Wasn't expecting more than flurries tonight, but a three-hour period of -SN out of nowhere put down almost 1" of pillow fluff. It's too bad it came a day too early, it looks really nice out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get myself to look at the gfs outside the weenie IPS Meteostar for QPF.. Leaching off the free Storm Vista loophole since I can't log in it looks pretty decent for the the far NE.. Don't like the look for things here. Looks like same ole stuck on the west side of the trough winter coming up, blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like same ole stuck on the west side of the trough winter coming up, blah. It's northern stream dominant, so there's not a lot of big time storms. But it's cold at least and features a lot of clippers. -NAO signature, which helps me out here more than it helps you further to the west. I'm not buying it obviously. It's just one run of the GFS. But it is nice to look at that model through 16 days and not want to gouge my eyes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Watching the local news this morning is so nauseating as the anchor and weather "person" claim how great it is that it's going to be a warm and sunny Christmas. I guess we're in the minority for yearning for snow and cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know looking at the models med range is like being hooked on crack for us weenies, so I applaud your fortitude. I was going to do the same but that damn Tuesday storm sucked me back in, like you said. Weak will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
