cyclone77 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Wow, some of these pics remind me of the GHD storm. Looks like a crapload of snow for many of you guys. 17" at SPI is very impressive indeed. What models do you guys think did best with this? Up here the Euro easily did the best, as it consistently forecast amounts from 1-3". The NAM and GFS bounced around all over the place, and at times gave us a foot or more. Sounds like the Euro didn't do as well for some of you guys though, so it sounds like it may have depended on where you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM was a disaster, going from a big hit to a whiff in the span of a couple of runs. GFS was ok. RGEM and GGEM did very well I thought, again for here. Snow keeps rotating in here this morning from the north/northeast. It doesn't want to quit evidently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffice it say the Euro shows another major winter storm along 40° N from the lee of the Rockies all the way to the east coast. The GFS shows a major rain maker.

michsnowfreak Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 MCi area was 6-10" so was FWA Per Kansas Citys graphic it does looks like 4-9" (higher south, less north) with MCI officially 5.4". FWA had 4.3", SBN T, and IWX 3.7". The 6-10" were further south towards IND/LAF...which is why I said the WINNERS were LAF/STL. All I meant by that was areas who had the most snow.

michsnowfreak Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Here on the extreme northern fringe, looks like 0.6" will do it. 47.8" on the season, but just 3.7" in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 looks like LAF/STL areas are the winners with this one. Sounds like it busted low in OH. Central Ohio maybe... up further north? Not at all. Having that sfc low track up to CMH and now a bit northeast of there helped us considerably. I have approximately 3.5-4" here and its still coming down at a light pace. Based on radar that's not gonna stop anytime soon. A lot of local forecasts here were going with 1-2". Findlay had a report of 4" at 8:30 and 5" a couple hours later. Lima had over 7" at 8AM too. May pick up another inch here with the LES/Synoptic leftovers but it definitely over-performed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlord81 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Either I dont know how to measure properly or my area has been jackpotted but Im up to 11.5 inches with a new band sitting over me. Yesterday morning started off with 2.5 inches on my board that had melted off the board by the time round two started. Whether or not its accurate or not its still the most snow I've seen and shoveled since Jan. 09. And for it to happen in March! Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we get 2 of these in a row next year in the middle of January with record cold wedged in between haha. It is awesome after the dissapointment of last year this winter hasnt been normal by any means but it has delivered. I just went out and double checked and measured 7 other pints all over 11.25 a few over 12 inches. Still snowing by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 We have 7.7" here in Huntington. Still getting -SN, may be able to pick up a couple of more tenths. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I think I have to give the GGEM the award, for LAF specifically. It didn't seem to waver much, while the others ran around like drunken sailors. So true. What did your parents end up with? I assume "well" over a foot... My pops measured 13.2". Said blowing and drifting made it pretty difficult. Also said he thinks this is the biggest snowstorm since 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
