Chicago WX Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Total clownage through 78 hours on the 12z GFS. I think it's a touch too light for round one (for parts of IL and IN), BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 wind and snow combined, probably the worst conditions all Winter currently. Nearing 120" thus far, and still haven't had a W S Warning this year. Amazing what conditions a WWA encompasses here. thx for posting those Geos!

Maumee Bay Turf Center Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Sorry for OT. Chicago market bout out of salt, and contractors under seasonal contracts getting ready to bolt. Been getting plenty of calls to assume others work. If February goes snowy it will be real interesting. agreed baum - they are all panicking now - i've actually have my larger commerical clients this following this forum - they love you guys...we've gone through 3000 tons already....i actually found 1750 tons more in new jersey - we have our guys here prepping our field for the super bowl and ran into a contractor that sent us 6 more semi's on monday...figured i can always sell it....i want to post some pics of our crew plowing the field from field level but my iphone wont allow it... this weekend will deplete most of the low ballers....

michsnowfreak Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Detroit looks good for about 2-4" tonight. Definitely a nice snowpack builder. Agree. As we were just saying in the Jan thread...the dirty icy snowpack and the even dirtier snowbanks have long-since been covered with fresh white since the 3-day thaw, so the snowpack looks great, its just a bit aggravating to think of how we lost over a foot worth of depth from such a blah, mundane thaw. As the snowpack looks to continue to build, no matter how deep it gets, I will keep thinking "what if" from a depth perspective, no matter how unrealistic it may be lol.

Powerball Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 What I think is interesting too about the GFS is that it also shows wind gusts of 45-50 MPH and snowfall rates between 1/4" and 1/2" for several hours this evening. I'm thinking that would easily constitute Blizzard conditions, assuming it's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc294 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Odd for me last night. I've been watching all of you post the models, searching for some of my own. But it got very confusing because I got distracted by this very fine light snow was falling last night. Hardly even showed up on radar, occasionally you'd see a slight pop of very light green "dot" I saw on PYKL3 on my phone. (I essentially live right between Steubenville, OH and Wheeling, WV in a bowl with ridges all around me with a slight east opening but you still have to up a hill. I live in coal mine country) and we got almost an inch of it. They cancelled school all over. (I grew up in the Ohio Snowbelt. They don't know what snow is here but 2 inches can be deadly with these hills and curves down here) My father-in-law was flipping out wondering where this snow was coming from because the new didn't say anything about this snow. LOL Only thing I could tell him to get him to explain was..."It's so cold it's freezing any moisture in the air and turning it to snow." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Wouldn't worry about it...GGEM is always too amped/far north, Pattern does really support it. I'm not worried about a miss north for our area...for OBY i mostly just hoping for something a little wetter given the progged thermal gradient but it doesn't appear to be in the cards.

Thundersnow12 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 solid consensus...decent omega and a respectable DGZ for a brief period. Yeah the GFS continues to show a 400mb or so DGZ for about a 6hr period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yeah the GFS continues to show a 400mb or so DGZ for about a 6hr period really only looks like a 2-3 hour window of snow but it should come down at a pretty decent clip for most of that.

A-L-E-K Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The 12z GEM does bring that arctic snow squall line across here Sunday evening. our consolation prize in case the main show misses north. but I think a track with the prime waa-ish snows right over our area looks good and the arctic squal running along I80.

Hoosier Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Early guess is 2-3" here for Sunday with some potential upside given the "arctic squall" that's been mentioned. Would not want to be out in rural areas today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
