snowstormcanuck Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Fine, so he's a watered-down colin. Still annoying as balls though. Don't see it. Maybe it's because I'm a pessimist as well. Or maybe because he's been right so often this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Fine, so he's a watered-down colin. Still annoying as balls though. Colin didn't know jack about weather and was an absolutely miserable poster. Alek has his own style, whether you like it or not, but his weather knowledge is pretty damn good. Better than the average weenie on this forum. There are no comparisons to be made here. Alas, this is not the place to take shots at current posters. Take it to OT, or use the ignore function if you don't like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Parade of clipper on the EURO through D10. Maybe this time it'll work out. Still no sign of a southern stream snowstorm threat. 6 weeks and counting without one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Did a little more riding out by the lake. despite fluffy lake snow, it's pretty dense once it settles. Hoping Tuesday doesn't eat away too much snow before we build it back up mid to late week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 sweeet stuff, Bo. Nice refresher snows pattern after the torch for you. looks like same ole same ole this side of the lake. dry nw flow followed by torch events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 First week or so of February look like snooze city for central Indiana. 12z Euro and GFS ensembles with impulses traveling well to our north in the medium/long range. Minor warm ups, minor cool downs, general blahness. Getting closer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like every warmup rockets us up to 60.. Why can't we just have a mid 40's torch for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Don't see it. Maybe it's because I'm a pessimist as well. Or maybe because he's been right so often this winter. Agreed, and for the same reason. Sure he looks for the worst scenario, but that seems to be him. Can't change him..perhaps some need to be less sensitive to negativity.

BowMeHunter Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 looks good for the north woods of mi/wi if they get the snow tonight and not much of a torch. Businesses just might salvage the snowmobiling season ok with a strong finish.. lack of snow down south should have all the flat landers heading north.

Also hoping we don't lose our snowpack from this thaw. It looks to be replenished quickly though. Perhaps you will feel better next weekend to enjoy it.

I don't see who would invest in $10,000 machines without mountains or lake effect to rely on. Too much money to waste. Hurley always does well... Land O Lakes....

michsnowfreak Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Though I dont want to jinx things for something 5 days out...the GFS, GEM, and Euro all have been consistent with a clipper next Fri/Sat. qpf varies from a few hundredths to a healthier 0.2" depending on the model and the run, but perhaps there is some merit to the fact that it is consistently showing up this far out. I wouldnt be the least bit surprised if it fizzles to almost nothing now that Ive jinxed it lol, or, if it turns into a very healthy clipper.

So technically that's a more ideal spot. upper lower has its moments in between torches and is close for you. eagle river is about 4 hrs from here only. lando little farther. nice base camp area. we had two great weeks of trail riding just to the west and north of milwaukee. not too bad for this good for **** winter so far. lots of work goes in to getting permision for all the trails we have in every inch of this state. sure is a shame most of them Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha counties will hardly be used for a second yr in row if nothing changes. should be another great off season for the used sled buyers. I imagine lots of sleds will be unloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A moisture starved clipper in the crapshoot that this winter is showing up nearly a week out....meh, will probably be nothing worth getting excited about.

You may be right...Im just going on previous track record. More often than not, in years past when a clipper showed up so far out and maintained its course more or less all week (regardless of how meager qpf), it turned into a nice clipper. Not always, it very well could still fizzle out...just saying dont take meager qpf verbatum at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 What trends are you speaking of? Gets cold with little snow then a lot miss storms to the NW.

michsnowfreak Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 massive ridge over the west, open gulf, etc on both the Euro and GFS Neither model shows a massive torch for our region though. We can speculate what will happen after the fact, but thats WAY jumping the gun....the models will change a hundred times as is without any extrapolating beyond their forecast period.

Very up and down on the GFS and the EURO shows another warming trend around Feb 5-7th. No good storm track After Wed the Euro has a clipper Saturday, one day above freezing, and another light snow event Feb 5th. Its nothing big, not that it wont change, but I just dont see all this warming everyones talking about. In fact the consensus seems to be for a colder than normal Feb.
