Didn't we have this discussion before? It's mid January. The amount of snow loss due to insolation, especially when temps are going to be as cold as they are, is minimal.

It is mid January, however don't forget that it has been fairly mild thus far. I've seen a few bursts of heavier snow move through, and dump about 1-2"overnight, once daylight hits, it melts.

Let's hope so! Although I do think that the euro will continue to increase its QPF output for us as it will start to trend more north. Good news is that the torch looks semi-muted next week but probably still will get a couple of warm days.

It could go either way. Lack of initial/decreasing amplitude with the s/w makes me think this thing could only go so far north. But for us, it would only take a noise level shift to get into the northern periphery of the better snows.

I'd say the LES potential is one to watch. Sort of reminds me of December 8, 2000. Conditions only looked semi-favourable then but at the end of the day, Oakville walked away with 2 feet of snow. Obviously I'm not calling for the same this time, but these things can surprise.

Hmm was too young to remember that but a more recent storm was Jan 2009 when the system tracked more north than expected and gave lake effect snow which added to 3-7"

Hmm was too young to remember that but a more recent storm was Jan 2009 when the system tracked more north than expected and gave lake effect snow which added to 3-7"

The one around mid month? Yeah, that one actually dropped in excess of a foot across the eastern burbs (Pickering east). Winds had more of a southerly component, but the same principle.

This snow is coming after a cold blast and during a cold blast.

I know, I'm just saying..Ground temps are still warm...good setup tho, secondary cold arctic front to plow through.. I think that's what really is helping us with this event, if that front did not come through, we would have been talking another rain event..or mix..

Ya thats where are locations differ alot. The lack of snow here has actually turned the ground into a glacier and driven the frost quite deep.

I hope your water pipes hold up! Need some snow to insulate those utilities.

The grass around here is not even close to brown..and ground is soaked..not frozen..Last night I picked up about 1.5" of snowfall, and guess what it's all gone..but of course this system is a lot stronger, and rates will make the snow stick quickly and accumulate..the thing I'm trying to say is that we did not have a sustained cold pattern..we were in the 50s yesterday.

Is it November the 18th by any chance? :huh:

AM, yeah it's January 18th, and I had thunderstorms yesterday with a temp around 54..HM..and yeah I have not seen more then 3" of snowfall since early December, ever since it's been rain storm after rain storm! A couple of days in the teens, and that's about it.

wouldn't get too excited and i'm not saying you're but, plenty of time for this to shift south enough to cut off a decent chunk of qpf. Could it stay the same sure but if i was a betting man lol - i would favor areas south and sw of mke to jackpot.. I'm prob wrong but it seems the euro and nam are slower than the GFS allowing it to plumper up that little extra.

system still just offshore, we should narrow in pretty soon, either way whether it's .25 or .5 for MKE, the cold and 20:1+ ratios up there say one thing, money for Chicagowx

always lose when i bet with my heart or gut. rather dumb bet no matter what but after a dicked over holiday season when i love snow the most and it was basically snowless I was pretty much fed up with winter and nothing looked like it was changing too fast.. Pissed, and a few beers in when I made the bets that night is normally a good thing for the sober one or vegas. lol i remember when i commented some time back the gfs was advertising a torch on my b-day tomorrow and how I couldn't ask for a much better day to in mid jan to go ice fishing.. Instead its the coldest day of the winter and we're tracking a decent snow event.
