December 26th - 27th Winter Storm


Powerball

Recommended Posts

Because the models aren't as dug in as they could be and a nice southeast ridge is butting into play. I am worried.....................

Unless I'm missing something important generally storms don't try to cut west with such a strong west based -NAO... and I'm not really seeing that ridge you are speaking of.

It depends. If this thing really amps up and closes off, the "primary" low becomes the main low where all the action is at. Of course it will occlude and 'transfer", but the energy surge would be over.

Really the only ridging to the east stems from the amplification of the trough over the central CONUS... not the other way around. I agree that it could end up further northwest and Chicago could end up with an inch or two but I think at this point another track towards LAF would be a little extreme.

couple inches out of the next two events for Chicago would be nice.. would be a shame to go all month with no mood snow downtown to really enjoy the beautiful lights and displays..

At least there's a chance for LES from the circulation of this storm! Will see how long Alek's futility record lasts!

Looking good for my area barring any major NW moves the next 48 hours. Seems like with this threat there is only so far NW it can drive itself. 18z GFS is perfect for and 12z EURO is perfect for Hoosierland but can it hold?

Yep. My wife works over your way. Starting to make arrangements now. Her employer doesn't close down. Damn hospitals.

Look at the difference in the placement of both the big spinning ULL over Canada and our system in OH valid 18z Wed off the last two GFS runs. Seems as though you are getting little waves spinning off the western side of of the upper level low in Canada and coming down and almost trying to partial phase with the backside of our system and pulling it north for a time. The 6z GFS wasn't even close to having this.

Alek, how about your thoughts and first call amounts for the LES to hit Chicagoland.

I love me some deep Alek talk about LES and enhancement.

i honestly haven't been following as closely as normal...too busy with other holiday season activities. I'll have some time tomorrow or later tonight to look over things. These type of fringe OH valley cutter / LE combos can be good for 3-4" but that's probably best case scenario.

Looking better for a snow storm here in Northern Indiana...too bad I will be in Central Ohio for the holidays

Welcome to the board. Models could trend back SE and you'd be gold if you like snow. BTW, I love fishing many of the lakes around Syracuse, but Wawasee not so much.
