Chitown Storm Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 nah, not referring to this year. It's been a great winter here....memorable really, and it's not nearly finished. My last one here before I move to the Twin Cities which seems to have had some pretty boring winters the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 probably will melt on pavement though. This will not be the biggest storm of the season here, nor will it be the most exciting. Far from it on both accounts. But with the implications it has to our up-north-esque snowpack, I am watching it and the models more closely than I probably have any since January 5th.

Radtechwxman Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Has anyone noticed that the center of that arctic high has been sitting over central il and hasnt really moved. Wondering if this will lead to an even further south track.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosaints Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Great, can't wait to see the famous LOT doughnut hole.... Ha donut hole. How many crappy synoptic storms have you cashed in on one way or another. Amazing winter for chi town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radtechwxman Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well it is def something to watch. It has hardly moved all day. Wasnt sure if that was forecasted. I been busy so havent done an in depth look at models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thru 12 hours I spot no real changes. When analyzing the 500mb vort maps, there's a tiny change in terms of how much it digs but thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thru 24 hours.....compared to 12z, MSLP is slightly further south but northern precip axis is slightly more NNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that I noticed the 18z RGEM qpf placement much more NNE than its more E-W 12z run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Same here. I'm getting greedy, I just want to see how much snow we can build up. One thing we can say...all of our constant compacting from blowing and drifting in January is done. This is a foot of 5-1 ratio snow that wouldnt budge in a hurricane. Anything we get is just added to it, not to mention pretties it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Actually looks like everything is a bit NW/stronger. Wave closes off over northeast KS and looks better later in the run after that compared to the 18z NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
