ravensrule Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 ur maybe 5-6 miles from me but probably 250' higher I can see you getting twice what I get in something like this one good luck nonetheless Elevation will make all the difference in this one, I hope my 485' helps out.

Avdave Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Keep model discussion in the other thread please until after the Euro at least. How about keeping IMBY posts out of the main thread too?

blueapple Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hearing OBS reports of Chicago having 6" of fresh pow pow already. I remember people discussing that as a place to watch as an indicator for us. True, but that was the indicator when we weren't sure if the storm would hit us or get pushed to our south. Now the question is temps, not getting the QPF. Seeing how soon the rain switches to snow (hopefully) overnight is a good indicator on how accurate the models are with the warm layer.

blueapple Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I didn't know the qpf already fell here :shrug: Chicago was an indicator of QPF, not temps per se -- I don't think anyone is really worried about QPF now (except maybe Baltimore and N&E from there), but there is a warm layer below 900/925 that could be hard to overcome.

Most likely more qpf = better rates = better temps. When speaking of the LP hitting Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
