Thanks a lot.  Somebody just north of here must get destroyed with ice given those types of 850 mb temps.

Might be too early to talk about this but it's kinda unfathomable that some of the same areas that got pounded on GHD could get a ton of snow again.  Twice in less than 3 years would be taking a baseball bat to climo. 

 

Unfathomable?  Not really, unlikely for sure.  However, you had Chicago getting January 1999 and December 11, 2000 in less than two years, both yielding over 12" of snow.  That's one example right off the bat, probably a few more.

There's a big difference between those storms and what I'm talking about.  If the higher end potential works out with the upcoming one, it's possible that some of the same areas will have gotten 18+ from both storms.  THAT is hard to do in less than 3 years.

It's possible, but I think many areas that do end up with high precip from being on the ice/snow line will have low ratios, such that even with the higher end potential, 12-18" will likely be the ceiling or near it.  If what you said does work out, you're right it is very rare.

Only ones to my knowledge here atleast is with Jan 78 followed up by Jan 79.. Both 18+ for many around here atleast..

 

Jan 78 had 25.5" vs Jan 79 with 18" at KBTL..
