Puts me right in the mix(no pun intended). Or is this where someone posts next system is not part of the clipper train,and therefore does not count? EDIT: wow right on cue. Note it is titled through 2/7/13 I'm trying to win a contest here. Of course I may already be out depending how much fell at ORD today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Quad Cities ends the debate: THE NEXT CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WEDNIGHT/THURSDAY. THE EARLY EVENING OF WED NIGHT WILL BE DRY BUT BYMID TO LATE EVENING CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS COLLAPSE ASFORCING INCREASES ACROSS THE NORTHWEST CWFA. PRECIPITATION WILL THENOVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I could buy that this is a hybrid, but it's a stretch to call it a classic Alberta clipper. Look at how it evolves. Regardless, Tim set the rules with a cutoff date and not about what kind of system it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number was reduced to 5.2" before today, for whatever reason. Anyway, 0.5" today through 4:00pm. So we're at 5.7"...unless they change it again. EDIT: or maybe I saw an additional 0.2" that wasn't there. Pretty confident on 5.7" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked back at LSR'S and didn't see the additional .2" anywhere so it looks like 5.7" is what we're going with for the month so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm a dumbass. Pretty sure I imagined the additional 0.2". No harm, no foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesota Meso Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I can see that most of the regular poster's are out of the competition, as this has been bery, bery quiet.

Minnesota Meso Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 you very well be right, I had to go back a bit to find these.. BowMeHunter: 8.4" Luftfeuchtigkeit: 8.5" KokomoWX: 10.5" it will be interesting as any frozen precip is counted as measured on the snow board, then take into account any compaction that occurs during the 6 hrs measurements, that leads me to think that either one of these two will win out. dmc76: 6.7" baum001: 7.3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other locales in chitown: Aleking. .6 Geos 12.2 Thunder snow .7 but that trace will be accompanied by thunder and lightning so it will be well worth it. The best thing about this call is how my discrepancy between ORD and Geos panned out. Who would have thought my Geos call would be way under?
