Chicago WX Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 So yeah, probably time to punt this one for LAF. It's ovah. Lowered my expectations to possibly seeing a few flakes, but I have serious doubts about that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'll take anything at this point. The last 1" of snow or more fell Dec 20th. Last 5"+ snow fell on the GHD storm 2 years ago. Largest snowfall last season was a little over 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 GEM continues to look good for SE WI. I think I'll go with a compromise of the GFS on one end and the NAM/GEM/RGEM on the other and go with another Madison to Sheboygan hit. Worked out last time I called for it wiith the solstice storm, not that I necessarily want that likely snow gradient outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 How about another over/under- over/under 3" at ORD with this potential event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Have to think the UKIE is as far west as this thing can go. Except the GFS is further west. I think the GFS is likely as far west as it can go, considering the weaker low passing through the Upper Mississippi Valley tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 How about another over/under- over/under 3" at ORD with this potential event. Easy under. West is best, or trending that way. Thinking 1" may be a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds about right but I am still optimistic that MKE will get some decent snow. I wouldn't be surprised if the GFS shifts back SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 I guess it's already time for the reappearance of the DAB+ call. I'll wait a bit to make that call for Milwaukee, but I'm sure some Chicago posters here are locked and loaded for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 At this point, I think I'd frame my best zones for highest accumulating snows with these imaginary lines... Southeastern edge: QC to MKE to TVC Northwestern edge: DSM to LSE to GRB Post 12z models, really like the northwestern edge. 80/20 if you will.

cyclone77 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 U of IL WRF ensembles very amped with this thing, much like the NAM. Drops the surface low down below 980mb by the time it reaches northern-lower MI. Looks like some decent thundersnow potential over northern IL if this pans out... http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/541/41914977.jpg/'> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/547/59659296.jpg/'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
