DAFF Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Lol. The "measles" storm. Got me too !! Thought to myself of how specific the snow areas were this far out. Hopefully the map is a underperformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Success! Alek's map for Feb 13-14, 2007, posted on Feb 12. A little low on max amounts, and maybe a touch too far north with southern edge of that zone...but really, not a bad call at all. Alek.jpg That was a excellent call for here with the total and very sharp cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 This looks to be a Boston/NYC and mid-Atlantic special. Bust for us. Hopefully we'll still get a bone chilling northeasterly flow out of this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimChgo9 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just looked up the WGN forecast on the iPhone WGN Weather app..... the forecast is stating a "dusting" for Thursday, with "some flurries" for Friday...... With temps then climbing to 40 or near 40 by Monday. So, if there is any snow (not holding my breath) Thurs-Fri, it will be gone by next Wed... Forecast for Sunday through Wednesday next week: 36/29 Sunny, 39/32 Sunny, 39/27 Sunny, 35/23 Sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'll take a rum and coke. Done. And I should have clarified, I need to drink more...I'm already 3 deep. 0z GFS looks northern stream focused at 81 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 1-3" for northern IL on the GFS, 3" as you get near Alekville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 people getting unhinged over the NAM... not one of the GLOV's best moments. This potential event has made a mockery of GLOV posters forecasts. Remember about 5 days ago...many were so sure this would be a torchy rainstorm following the arctic cold. Now many think its going to be a disorganized suppressed mess if not miss as the cold lingers. And its still 3+ days away. I think I will wait before I jump on a solution, but middle ground between suppressed miss and torchy rain would be awfully nice. Jokes aside, I think we will get some snow here. How much is and will remain a question mark the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS is better then the NAM, which kind of surprises me. --- I'll take a glass of white wine. Not picky, unless it's on the dry side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 GFS shows about an inch for here and the QC. Think I'll keep riding my early call for 1-2" for this area. Certainly looks better the further east you go in the region. Still really like northern Indiana/southern MI/ and most of Ohio for this. Looks like Iowa is gonna get very little, except for the far east and northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I will be here for this event I think thats actually a good call for this early in the game. With the clipper coming from the NW (and crossing the water of Lake MI no less) and the L forming in the south and riding NE, even if they stay seperate I have a hard time believing that will not form snow over us. Perhaps it will be a very widespread area of 1-4" snow with some heavier amounts in probably IN/OH and maybe lake locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
