Ice breeze...

 

AN INTERESTING FEATURE HAS BEEN OBSERVED OVER CHICAGO...WHICH IS
RATHER UNIQUE. DUE TO CONSIDERABLE ICE COVERAGE ON LAKE MICHIGAN AND
WINDS FROM THE EAST/SOUTHEAST...DOWNTOWN CHICAGO HAS ACTUALLY HAD AN
ICE BREEZE AND HAS HELPED TO KEEP DOWNTOWN MUCH COOLER THIS
AFTERNOON IN THE MID/UPR 20S. WHILE FURTHER INLAND LOCATIONS HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO WARM TO ARND 30 DEGREES.

LOT

 

NOW ONTO THE BAD NEWS. ITS LIKELY THAT THE TASTE OF SPRING ON MONDAY
WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE SHORT-LIVED IN AS THE UPPER PATTERN WILL YET
AGAIN AMPLIFY AND FAVOR STRONG RIDGING ALONG THE WEST COAST AND
CARVING OUT A DEEP TROUGH IN EASTERN NOAM. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL
START TO MOVE BACK IN STARTING MONDAY NIGHT...WITH GUIDANCE
DIFFERING ON TIMING. ALSO THERE IS NOW FAIRLY DECENT OPERATIONAL AND
GEFS ENSEMBLE MEAN AGREEMENT IN A STRONGER SYSTEM MOVING SOMEWHERE
OVER THE REGION AS THE COLDER AIR MOVES BACK IN. PRECIP COULD START
AS EARLY AS MONDAY NIGHT BASED ON FASTER OPERATIONAL AND ENSEMBLE
GUIDANCE AND POSSIBLY LINGERING INTO WEDNESDAY AS PER THE SLOWER
GUIDANCE. TRACK WILL DETERMINE WHETHER WE SEE MUCH PRECIP AT ALL AND
ALSO IF WE DO WHETHER ITS PRIMARILY RAIN OR A RAIN TO SNOW SETUP.
THUS ITS WAY TOO EARLY FOR DETAILS...BUT THIS PERIOD WILL BE ONE TO
WATCH. THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER PATTERN THEN LOOKS TO LINGER BEYOND
DAY 7...KEEPING COLDER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS FOR MID MARCH LOCKED
IN OVERALL. WE JUST CANT SEEM TO SHAKE THE NEVER ENDING WINTER OF
2013-14 IT SEEMS.

18z GFS is ridiculously snowy in the extended. Already have about 7" down at YYZ for the month. Wouldn't surprise me if this is one of those rare seasons where March ends up being the snowiest month. 

that would be nice. Of course, DTW would need to get 40" to have it be the snowiest month this winter :lmao:

I saw that. Pretty incredible run. If it were to verify, I would upgrade this winter to an "A" from "A-".

Awful...

JB, for the past two days has been mentioning similarities, and showing maps to back up his point, to the set-up in March 1993. He said in his video that he's not calling for a storm of the magnitude of the Superstorm, simply that the dynamics which led to a Big Dog event that month will exist next week. In other words, he says someone is going to get a big storm next week.

Never even heard of that.  But I'm wondering how it's any different from a typical lake breeze.
