A-L-E-K Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 anything close to 1" of QPF with high ratios would be pretty rare air for a clipper/hybrid setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Crazy. The Gem ptype map has it snowing here constantly from hour 74 to the end of the run (hour 120) and likely beyond. Yea, looks like around 50hrs for DTW to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Snows from like 66 hours to 120 hours. Crazy. Noon Tuesday - 6pm Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yea, looks like around 50hrs for DTW to. Looking at the hourly ptype maps of the gem, it looks like the two seperate waves of snow sort of crash into each other around hour 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 You know it's been pretty boring snowstorm-wise when people are giving so much attention to a long duration hybrid clipper on the GGEM 4-5 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 anything close to 1" of QPF with high ratios would be pretty rare air for a clipper/hybrid setup. That was total, for every impulse combined. But again, I could be too low...it was off the b/w's after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 If the models were to pan out ... Here might be my year end bonus !! More than likely I will end up with an inflatable Wal-mart dingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Should have extended that to show members further east the full picture. 0.9" + for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 GFS COBB for the 00z run has over 7" of snow for the week at ORD accounting for compaction. Over 9" without compaction. Snows from hr 72 to hr 111. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Should have extended that to show members further east the full picture. 0.9" + for you. Perfect. Actually...I couldnt dream up a better run 4 days out. Not only is it 0.9" qpf of fluffy snow, but I am smack dab in the middle of the 0.5"+ qpf sector, perfect for N or S wiggle room.

Stebo Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Looks like the models only took a day to catch onto what I was thinking would happen with this system. The overaggressive push of cold air and locking the polar vortex in place like the models shown yesterday looks to end up being crap. You need blocking to lock in a pattern, no blocking means things end up transient. Region is in for some exciting times, high ratio/good liquid events usually yield very nicely for this region and usually a decently wide swath of snow too.

Geos Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 First wave hits the DVN early evening Monday on the EURO. NE quarter of IA looks good. Somewhat lightens up further eastward. 1-3" fluff event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Oh and if the GGEM were to pan out (unlikely) it would be a solid swath of 12-15" for a good number of locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 2nd wave on the EURO moves across the MS River early evening of Tuesday. Heaviest axis ALO to Alek to SnowFreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Euro looking good for a fluffy inch or so Mon eve, and another 2-3" Tue eve for the QCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 3rd wave looks to be king. Looking good pushing out of NE into IA at 96 hours. Area of -SN from Chicago to Detroit during that time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah pretty cool that each clipper gets stronger as we go along. Your location is looking great at 102 hours. WI/IL stateline to I-80 prime. Right through Chicagoland and on towards SnowFreak's area. Close to the GGEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
