michsnowfreak Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm going to downtown tomorrow to watch the Hockey game at the ACC . I'll take some pictures. Still over 40,000 people without power in the city. And in my area I have about 6.5-7" on the ground. The trees looked beautiful this morning. A picture perfect scene, no doubt. I must say, it was the best Christmas in a while. Hbu? lol...1" on the ground. Our nice scenes were last week with 9" on the ground...but your ice storm kinda gave me plenty of unwanted fog and rain.

Snowstorms Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 lol...1" on the ground. Our nice scenes were last week with 9" on the ground...but your ice storm kinda gave me plenty of unwanted fog and rain. Ahh, that sucks man. Did that 1" come today or on Christmas? Lmao, true but you escaped the extensive damage we in Toronto had to endure. Thousands had to spend Christmas and the past few days in the dark without heat. Even though it left behind a picture perfect scenery, the damage is still significant across the area. But like you, i hate rain. I rather have a decent snow cover right thru the Winter season but that rarely happens, lol. The latest GFS looks intriguing. Its trying to bring back a storm in the first 5 days of January.

Well, last night. It did snow midday Christmas day, 0.2", and the dusting stayed on the streets all day, the sky stayed slate gray, and its amazing what the slightest dusting can do to brighten up gray snowbanks. Not a white Christmas, but Ive seen worse. Plus I look at Christmas as a season, and it has been white. Ma Nature just did her best grinch impersonation for us for the big day lol. And I agree, I wouldnt want the destruction of an ice storm. 8am snowdepth 12/09: 1 12/10: 1 12/11: 1 12/12: 1 12/13: 1 12/14: 2 12/15: 9 12/16: 8 12/17: 9 12/18: 8 12/19: 8 12/20: 5 12/21: 2 12/22: 1 12/23: T 12/24: T 12/25: T 12/26: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontonian Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm going to downtown tomorrow to watch the Hockey game at the ACC . I'll take some pictures. Still over 40,000 people without power in the city. Hbu? Last i heard it 48,000 "customers" w/out power. Could be still over 100,000 people affected. This burst of 6-7 cm really brought out the droopiness of trees still laden with ice and now snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Wave 3 dropped 0.1" imby last night, so total from the 3 waves December 25-27th imby was 1.5" (0.2+1.2+0.1). Melting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope next week continues the way it did this week. Hoping to get to 20" for the season by the end of the 31st. 18z GFS shows this much accumulation in the next 6.5 days.

Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Need some different juju. Another string of clippers. Boon or bust...TBD. 12z NAM fantasy land looks juicy with round one. Proceed with extreme caution. EDIT: I forgot there was a thread on this already. My bad. Delete if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The GFS and especially the Euro show some possible lake effect snow behind the second clipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I like the small C-1 events for they make me busy and are EZ on the equipment. With that said I would still like to see something epic this winter to punish all the other contractors who are not prepared and are in over their heads. Looking at the forecast this week on EC "The Clipper Express" might be running for another week after this refreshing warm spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 GGEM was also pretty darn close to being big. See this map of the GGEM at 114hr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Super clipper potential is there, a few of the GFS ensembles are showing clippers that are juiced up, leading to 4-8" potential before the clipper perhaps phases with the southern stream to benefit those to the east.

Geos Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I'll post this over here too. GGEM through 150 hours. If we get a super clipper then this thread will really take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Wow, 12z Euro is awesome for Iowa and into Illinois and Indiana. It has three clippers, each one stronger than the last, with the last one being a juiced-up hybrid. With the high ratios this would be a real nice dumping for a pretty widespread area.

Hoosier Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The GFS and especially the Euro show some possible lake effect snow behind the second clipper. Yes, LES/LEnH will be something to watch for those on the western shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 EURO shows a LES plume setting up along the western shoreline on this run, first in WI, then shifting into Chicago a bit before 138 hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I think the Jan 2 storm deserves its own thread. Even though I'm bearish on it, especially for northern parts of the subforum, models seem to be painting a hybrid type storm rather than a true clipper.

snowlover2 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Looks like 18z NAM came south some from the 12z run with the Jan 2 clipper. Still back in the northern plains at hour 84 but you can see the shift south from 12z hour 78 and 18z hour 84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 not just being a NIMBY...pattern doesn't support much north wiggle room. maybe LE scraps We'll see. I don't think the areas to receive are a lock at this point. Let the models figure out how far south the vortex is going to drop...then we can start honing in. You're still very much in play right now, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
