Powerball Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Accumulating snow with no returns, +SN with this garbage. You guys never miss. Hollow victory. It's like going to the Casino and always winning ONLY $100 on the slots, while everyone has won $10,000 at least once. It may all add up and equal out eventually, but the excitement just isn't the same as winning $10,000 all at once at least once. But thanks anyway.

You have unrealistic standards, when you get back to reality then we can discuss things. The fact is this has been an incredible month and an incredible winter that doesn't look to slow down any time soon. Keep chasing the unrealistic 3" per hour snowstorm that will never hit Detroit.

wisconsinwx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Since the system snows were slightly north of guidance (in terms of the heaviest banding) it wouldn't be out of the question to see a shift north with the arctic frontal snows.

Hey, if it makes you feel better, I experienced pretty much my first period of snow this winter with better than 1" per hour rates. Anything greater than 2" per hour is not that common around here.

Chicago WX Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Interesting...it was 4 when i woke up...it is now just 13 Big wall of warmth moving in here. You're probably safe being east. Now over 32º here. Snow quickly melting off my car. Very impressive. Might have a shot at 50º at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Got just under 3" of the driest snow I've seen here at MSP. They've expanded the blizzard warnings further east but just west of the TC metro. 50mph gusts really gonna create wicked conditions later. Hope it's just as crazy back home in Chitown.

Yeah I have come to terms years ago a true historic type blizzard is just not in our books lol... We missed out largely in 1967, 1978, 1999, and 2011 while nearby areas got 20+" in each. 1974 was close but still not legit 20 incher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 You have unrealistic standards...(snip) Perhaps. Regardless, it still doesn't change anything I said in that post. Detroit is a relative screw zone for big dog snowstorms, even considering how uncommon they may be elsewhere. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm taking a break if nothing of significance comes out of the early-mid February potential. I will probably be ready for Spring/Summer at that point.

cyclone77 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The high winds have subsided here, and after dipping back briefly to 28 the temps are on the rise again. Up to 30 now. Was just out shoveling and it's not bad at all out there. Sun starting to break out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we got an extra 4" today...should help with that torch coming, though I can't imagine it being quite as impressive here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 on the bright side I would think the warmer it gets ahead of that front, the more interesting it's passage will be. But the RAP is a whiff to the north. Interestingly though, the 12z RGEM p-type maps bring a mixed bag through LAF later. Might make sense with temps getting so warm here today. Only thing that is really going to suck, is the snow cover is going to get vaporized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Another thing to be watched is that thermal ridge Sunday. If the low tracks as far north as a few of the models show much of Iowa and even into northern IL could rise above freezing for awhile. That could really cut down on any blowing snow. Bump. This is indeed happening, but how much of an impact on the blowing snow remains to be seen. Certainly areas south of I-80 could get crusted up, but the snow that falls with the squall line could make up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The farther east you are, the less warmth makes it in I think. Should be a brief warm up for you guys...but nothing like what will transpire here. It'll be an all day assault for LAF. Just cracked 35º on my thermometer...a 22º rise since 8:00 AM. Snow melting like a mother... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
