IWXwx Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 At least those in the lake effect regions have something to look forward to. After the little flipper/clipper rolls through on Thursday, conditions become favorable for a long duration event from Friday until Sunday. Obviously, it's too early to forecast amounts or jackpot areas, but favorable fetch and decent moisture should do the deed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, it's too early to forecast amounts or jackpot areas, but favorable fetch and decent moisture should do the deed. I think its overall going to be a boring week, but next week at this time we may be tracking a biggie. Could be wrong, but just looking at the models, hopefully all could be in play for some big snow. I dont want to jinx things, but I dont think it is that much of a stretch to think that March 1st could dawn with Detroit already having locked in an above average snow season and Chicago already having locked out a chance at a top 15 snowless winter.

Stebo Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The Euro north crap scares me about next week. It would be cool to get some stream seperation and get some good phasing farther east. Phasing further East would be fine for the East Coast, so no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Confused on the upcoming pattern... Going to take a day or two and digest it... Although, I'll count out the fantasy-land storms for now, too far out to worry about right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a thread the needle job here, and at 180+ hours to boot. Way way too early to make definitive statements about that storm, but I know which way I'd lean if I had to make a call right now.

TugHillMatt Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The GFS is being pretty consistent with two potentially big fantasy storms in the long range. The last Euro I saw was a little too far north for my liking but it at least had both systems. I agree! That seems to be a popular track too...right up through Lake Michigan. Meh for us.

Yeah i figured i would mention that because i saw a few mentioning it. Oh and looky behind the system you posted about. :weenie: Oh and for everyone else that does NOT apply to other kinds of systems like over running events/ULL aka bowling ball type system etc. Just talking about phase jobs.
