Imagine the weenie lamentations back then. we can start talking about the DEC record.... roughly +4.6 the rest of the way and we should tie or exceed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Can't rule out flurries this weekend with what the gfs is showing. Baby steps.... I'd be thrilled with a 5 minute period of sn or +sn. NWS has chance of snow showers in the forecast for the northern burbs overnight Thursday into Friday AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Your optimism and enthusiasm is well received. 5 minutes it is! lol- just seeing the upper and surface low track a little further south and east makes you wonder if the apps will be able to steal everything. At least verbatim. Some pretty good precip totals in the lee of the lakes and upslope areas. I'm looking for anything wintry at this point. The energy looks close enough for me on the run to start thinking flizzards in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Who's under center? Peyton Manning or Mark Sanchez? Impossibility or not, it would be a meteorological miracle for this to be any type of significant snow even. Yea, things can change but I just don't see anything that can push this thing south and east. Mark Sanchez, that is why we have the Rex block .

Isn't one a Meteorologist and one a "Weatherman"? It would be nice to be able to distinguish between "usetobe" a pro met, and Ian a "Weatherman". Just using those two as examples.

usedtobe Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Serious question? How did Ian get a pro met tag? He has zero education in the meteorological sciences. I think his tag says forecaster not meteorologist. He regularly makes forecasts for the Capital Weather Gang and does a good job at it and gets paid for his articles. That meets the definition of pro forecaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
