Harry Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 This area is NOT a big snowstorm area. We have to accept a 4-8" or even a 6-12" is a really good event for us. We don't have the moisture source to provide such events like Boston. Oh we do have the moisture source but it is harder to do especially out that way and or the closer to the apps you get. We just need EVERYTHING aligned perfectly. Which ala seems impossible to do even though it has been done a couple of times out that way and a few more here. Would probably surprise a few people to know that this area has had the biggest snow storm compared to Boston itself with 28.6" being top dog here ( KBTL with Jan 67 blizzard ..NO Lake stuff either with that) and 27 being top dog there in Boston. Sure areas just inland/just west of Boston have seen bigger dumps though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 yeah.......but it will melt a couple of days later(so say some on this board). Can you go be a wet blanket somewhere else, how could anyone be upset if they got what Boston is going to get. I mean seriously what is the point of posts like this.

We don't have the moisture source to provide such events like Boston. True. Have to hope for one of those lows like 1886 or 1974 (keep in mind those werent widespread massive storms, we were the jackpot of what was a widespread big storm).

hm8 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hey, I hope you don't mind me asking a quick question. I'm not too familiar with these maps. When it says "100-125", does that transfer to 10-12.5 inches? Or something entirely different? Thx for your help. Yup, you got it. If you click the image so you can zoom in on the bottom you'll see that the units are "IN x 10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 1.8" total for ORD final call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Of course I'm rooting for the snowy outcome, but I call it like I see it. Sorry. MKX mentioned the NAM has performed the best lately with temp profiles. Something to consider. Oh I know, just giving you a hard time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 1.9" total for ORD final call. way high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to hope for one of those lows like 1886 or 1974 (keep in mind those werent widespread massive storms, we were the jackpot of what was a widespread big storm). We need a Low pressure system to stall out...aka similar set-up to the April 2005 storm which if it was 3 weeks earlier this area would have had nearly 3 feet of snow.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 any odds up there yet on whether mayor ford is going to have to pull a mayor lastman on this storm? slim to none.

We'd have to get close to 2 feet for that to even become a remote possibility. just was wondering, since i was there in 1999 when that happened.

I had to give the briefing to the city, mayor mel, the MTO, and the TTC for the cleanup. Wow, that's really interesting. You worked for EC right? 1999 was a bit of different animal in that it was 46" of unrelenting snow over the course of a week and a half. The army wasn't utilized after the main Jan 2-3 storm which dropped 15". Only later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I like the 1-3" range for ORD right now. Think there's enough potential for a flip to a period of good rates to allow for a quick accumulation. Going lower than that basically ignores every model.

YHM Supercell Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Just thought I'd let the folks from Southern Ontario know...if anyone is looking for any type of weather information, http://www.sowx.ca This will probably the best storm for me since GHD.
