Chicago WX Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Next weekend looks very interesting..and very wet. Or very white. 12z Euro is pretty close for LSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 12z still has it. Actually looks pretty good for parts of MI and ON. Check that...really good for ON. Man, I hope this works out for you all. What site do you go to that has good Euro maps? I'm still waiting to see the 12z Euro and can't find it.

Accuweather and Storm Vista have good maps, but they're pay services. Wunderground will have the details for free, but on delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 A nice blanket of white outside as we await more snow...but its funny how this fluff really does settle. Its very easy to see how lake belts can get 50" of snow in a week and finish the week with like 18-20" depth. ill use midnight and noon just to pick random but consistent intervals My depth here: 12am 2/1/13: 3"...after a fall of 3.1" 12pm 2/2/13: 2" 12am 2/3/13: 2" 12pm 2/3/13: 3"...after another 1.3" 12am 2/4/13: 4"...after another 1.8" 12pm 2/4/13: 3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 5 runs in a row. From the King. Can I lock it in already? Looks great. After the Euro calling Sandy so continuously 9 days out, I'm intrigued. Of course, as always, it could tread north and Toronto gets warm sectored again. Looks like we could pull off 6" with that thing at least. Lake effect would be interesting as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 This is a pretty cool loop of the snow depth this season. I wish instead of snow depth they would add another map like this leaving the previous amounts, so you can get an idea of how much snow has fallen for the whole season. You could watch over and over how some areas received so much seasonal snowfall, and how other areas have been screwed so to speak. http://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/nsa/js_animate.html?ts=24&year=2013&month=2&day=3&type=nsm_swe®ion=National Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Took a few pictures of the sunny, snowy farm country just west of my town. Very bright while driving - sunglasses a must if your driving south especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 18z GFS just pulled a WTF, suppressing the weekend storm south. Looks erroneous to me. Would be nice if it turned out like that though. So sick of snowpack destroying rainstorms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can wait until the 20th or later to melt. I'd much rather add on to what I already have on the ground. A 300 mile south shift from the 12z model consensus would make me the happiest. Even a 100 mile south shift would open the possibility for a good accumulation on the back side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 we have 9 months for boring rain and severe weather. of course a snow weenie doesn't want a rain event in February and would take boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Suppression is better than the alternative. I agree, the rest of the year is boring until mid November. There is a reason these forums slow to s crawl during the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance of an exciting severe weather outbreak making it north of I-80 in February is next to nill anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 So you'd prefer boring weather... The snowpack is going to melt whether you like it or not, eventually. YES. If it is between getting a rain storm washing away the snow vs boring i'll take the boring. The rain can wait till March when we will really need it. I mean really who enjoys watching somewhere else get pounded ( be it severe or snow ) while you get a boring rain that is as well killing your snow cover? The snow cover is about all this winter has going for it right now. Yes the snow will eventually melt. We all know that. And no Josh/michsnowfreak did not hijack my account.

The latter is far more likely for my location in the month of February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only stuff i watch far away is usually tropical related unless it is a epic severe outbreak. I do tend to check in on my old hoods back east in the mid Atlantic though.
