Geos Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I thought I was the only one who thought this.... Lol Lol, I thought that was a good one! Never thought of doing that myself. I did however, reshape the landscaping in the front yard, so it catches a bit more snow - especially when it drifts. - You still have a few hours to go cut it Cyclone. System seems to be more orientated E-W now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I noticed the RGEM has the heaviest snow over Lake Michigan where the NAM has the least amount over that same area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 RGEM showing a slight shift south. Alek's DAB call looks to bust. You quoted Jim Ramsey. I'll take Aleking's thoughts over that any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always nice to see a slight uptick in amounts in the final 12-18hrs before a long anticipated system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 3z HRRR showing a nice LES band into Milwaukee. Two intense LES bands moving through the area, that would be a nice way to whiten things up late morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Two intense LES bands moving through the area, that would be a nice way to whiten things up late morning! I'm getting up around 7am, and hopefully there will be a LES band to track. EURO bumped the 0.20" line further south as well. Runs through the middle of Lake County to just south of DBQ, then towards Ottumwa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Euro definitely still the driest, with the GFS a close 2nd. GFS gives the QCA a bit over a tenth, while the GFS has about 0.15". Original 1-2" call probably was the best way to go. 1.2" finite call might come up a bit short, but really don't think we'll see anything more than 2".

Geos Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The EURO is too far north, even with this run. This is a now cast event. Radar tells the tale. Thinking possible advisories for N IL now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 indeed....and those light returns in north central iowa near mason city already hitting the surface is nice.... The EURO is too far north, even on with this run. This is a now cast event. Radar tells the tale. Thinking possible advisories for N IL now.

OHweather Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I think I'm going to get 2-4" here in SE Ohio on pretty short order this morning. Several short range models spitting that much or a bit more out and radar trends look good. RLX has me at half an inch of accumulation but I think that could well bust. I'll know for sure on the flip side of a bit of sleep I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 LOT update states the column is saturating much faster than expected. I was surprised and encouraged to see the models beef up amounts with a slightly more southern track. Could we have an over performer in the works?
