A-L-E-K Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 yeah we're missing out on just about everything, not even a nice soaking to wash away the grime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Im the opposite, Ive never experienced an Ice Storm so I can't wait. GEM has 2" of ice accretion for areas along Bloor Street. Dear God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Perry Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 18z NAM gives me nearly an inch of ice. Lawl. Actually, the lowest forecasted amount is from the 12z and that .20". 18z GFS gives me nearly half an inch of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Will be in your area tomorrow Bo, a few of us are planing on ridding the sleds over to East Jordon for lunch. The new snow today will help getting in and out of town. That trail can get pretty bare heading down close to town and the water. where do you stay at (what town)? I don't think you're going to find anything bare tomorrow. EJ got around 5" today. Eating at Murray's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 LOT... WE HAVE UPGRADED PORTIONS OF THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO WARNING ANDCONTINUED THE WATCH FOR LAKE AND KANE COUNTIES.THE VIGOROUS MID LEVEL FEATURE...CURRENTLY NOTED IN WATER VAPOR NEARTHE BAJA OF CALIFORNIA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON IS FORECAST TO TAKE ON ANEGATIVE TILT AS IT MOVES OUT ACROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AROUNDMIDDAY ON SATURDAY. THIS FEATURE WILL LIFT QUICKLYNORTH-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND ACROSSNORTHERN ILLINOIS SATURDAY NIGHT. MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO WAVERAROUND A BIT ON THE ACTUAL TRACK OF THE 850 AND SURFACE LOWS.THEREFORE...I HAVE TRENDED CLOSER TO THE ENSEMBLE MEANS...WHICHTRACK THE 850 LOW RIGHT ACROSS NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS LATE SATURDAYNIGHT. THIS TRACK FAVORS NORTH CENTRAL AND FAR NORTHEASTERN ILLINOISFOR THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL...ESPECIALLY SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLYSUNDAY AS STRONG FRONTOGENESIS SETS UP WITHIN THE DEFORMATIONZONE...JUST TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE 850 LOW TRACK. THIS WILLLIKELY SUPPORT AN AREA OF HEAVY SNOWFALL ACROSS THESE AREAS...WITHSNOW RATES LIKELY TO REACH OR EVEN EXCEED AN 1 INCH PER HOUR ATTIMES...GIVEN THE GOOD COUPLING OF THE LARGE SCALE FORCING FORASCENT FROM THE MID LEVEL WAVE AND THE GOOD FRONTOGENESIS. MID LEVELLAPSE RATES WILL ALSO SUPPORT GOOD SNOWFALL ACROSS THE WARNINGAREAS. I CHOSE TO LEAVE THE WATCH IN PLACE FOR LAKE AND KANECOUNTIES. THESE AREAS MAY ALSO SEE 6+ INCHES OF SNOW...IN PORTIONSOF THE COUNTIES...BUT DUE TO THE POTENTLY FOR SOME SLIGHT SHIFTS YETIN THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM...WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A FARTHERNORTHWEST TRACK...I CHOOSE TO HOLD OFF.THE OTHER CONCERN IS THE THREAT FOR FREEZING RAIN AND SLEETACCUMULATIONS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE WARNINGAREA...AND PLACES TO THE SOUTH. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAINRIGHT AROUND THE FREEZING POINT...SO IT APPEARS THAT ICING AMOUNTSMAY BE LIMITED SOME...ESPECIALLY NEAR CHICAGO. WITH THAT BEINGSAID...I STILL THINK THERE IS A DECENT POTENTIAL TO HAVE AN AREA OFSOME ICE ACCUMULATIONS...OF 0.1 TO 0.2 INCHES...PRIMARILY NORTH OFI-80 UP TO AROUND THE I-88 CORRIDOR. CLOSER TO THE LAKE AND THECITY ICE AMOUNTS MAY BE LESS DUE TO THE FLOW OFF THE LAKE POSSIBLYRESULTING IN TEMPS JUST ABOVE FREEZING. IT APPEARS THE MAIN ICINGTHREAT WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND INTO THEEVENING. THEREFORE...WE HAVE SOME TIME TO BETTER IRON OUT THEAREAS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO ICING. WE WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS THREAT INAN SPS.THE SNOW THREAT FOR AREAS SOUTH OF THE CURRENT WARNING AREA APPEARTO SOMEWHAT LIMITED...WITH A SHARP GRADIENT IN THE SNOWACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED. AN IMPRESSIVE DRY SLOT WILL PUNCH IN ACROSSTHE AREA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...LIKELY RESULT IN ONLYLIGHT SNOW OR EVEN FZ DRIZZLE GIVEN THE LOSE OF ICE IN THE CLOUDS.TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS LOOK TO DROP TO UNDER AN INCH BY THE TIME YOU GETCLOSE TO CHICAGO AND INTERSTATE 80.

WestCoaster Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The fact that this will be affecting the GTA from sunset to sunrise is crazy.

I'm not saying it's 38 but it's quite warm. The point being stebo's "no way" chicago sees rain call was premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
