snowstormcanuck Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 9 straight months featuring below normal normal snowfall (excluding the months that don't average snow). I say this is the end of the line. 15.5" for Feb 2013 imby. what the hell. Negativity doesn't work. Let's try something else. fmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 High-res vis really looked sweet today over southern IL. The band of snow that impacted St. Louis last night can't be missed. Close in look at St. Louis from today... Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Check back in the tornado database for the 1950s through 1970s in MI, it was quite the hotspot back then. 00z GFS continues the trend of the northern stream leaving the vort max in the dust with the weekend system. I wasn't alive back then but I vividly recall the 90s having some of the best derecho events in the entire nation tear straight through SW lower MI.

Stebo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Josh gets 4". Book it. Trust me, I'd take it, but I don't see it happening. Plus Thursday is my birthday and I can't remember the last time I had >1" of snow on my birthday. Hell I checked the climatic data for KDTW and since 1985 the year I was born there have been 2 days of >1" on Feb 7th, 1998 with 4" and 1986 with 5.6". So it's been a while.

frostfern Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 00z and 06z GFS are continuing the trend of suppressing the southern stream part of the weekend storm. Looks more realistic than yesterday's 18z too. I don't know if the 00z Euro has some back-end snow potential given the track it's showing on the 00z. It looks a lot stronger than the GFS but further south than previous runs. In any case the brief warmth might not be enough to completely destroy my snow after the next couple clippers add a few more inches on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 John Dee's day 4 map is probably going to bust hard. he must be riding the euro....90% of the time he underdoes SE MI in his snow forecasts, for a rare change this definitely looks too bullish (even the euro would not be 4").

Feb 7, 1999. 1998 only had a T, least snowy Feb on record. I remember that snow....I was amazed actually that our 2 foot depth from January had absolutely vanished, and it was a complete surprise snowfall. 4.2" DTW, 4.3" mby.

frostfern Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The 06z GFS wasn't suppression at all. Relative to what was shown some previous runs the warmth looks suppressed. Semantic arguments are kind of tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 GEM shows the next system around Thursday to be all rain for much of this area. GFS/GEM both have next Sunday's system as all rain as well. Could get a decent amount of rain with that one. It's possible we may be able to squeeze out some flurries on the tail-end Sunday night.

Chicago WX Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 GEFS pour the cold into the Plains in the extended. Reading the SNE forum, the 11-15 day Euro ensembles have AK ridging and a SE ridge...with cold again into the Plains. Now if we can manufacture some southern stream action...well, we can hope.

daddylonglegs Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Temps are very iffy on the GFS for this weekends storms.... Shows a lot of precip but surface/850 temps all look above freezing...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Only 3 days in, but we have a -6.3F departure at YYZ. Weekend warmup doesn't appear like it's going to get too out of hand and then we look to get back into the a colder pattern. Might have a shot at a below seasonal temp. month here after + departures in Dec and Jan. It'd be ironic if February also yields the least amount of snow.

wisconsinwx Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I will pose a question to those on the board. How much snow would it take iyby to call the winter a backloaded one, especially for those who live in Chicago, the Quad Cities, Indianapolis, Lafayette, etc. who would be candidates for a backloaded winter due to a poor first half? For me, I would say 25" or more in those months would qualify this year, and would bring us within 10" of our average, so I'd take it heartily and call it a winter.
