Hoosier Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 FWIW, the board is probably going to be down for a bit later tonight (before the Euro comes in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 16-20" of snow in the Macomb area. It was just under 15". I was there at the time. We have also had 5 events over 6 inches this year in Macomb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanthunder Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It was just under 15". I was there at the time. We have also had 5 events over 6 inches this year in Macomb... Oh okay, my bad. Really don't remember that blizzard, but looked at the radar from it. I really don't think we got that much in Henderson County, but I could well be wrong. And you're right, but it doesn't mean I don't want a foot event. Would be the perfect cap-off to an amazing winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Caplan riding the NAM hard. And Schwarz jumping on that bandwagon too. abc7.JPG Stupid FB.... So many people ride what they read like its the snow gospel. As for this weekend system......I feel like a midwife waiting for the magical 10cm..... Then its time to get ready for some fun.

csnavywx Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Riding the NAM past about 48 hr is a great way to bust. Only exception is when it has some decent cohorts to agree with it. Otherwise, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Schwarz and Caplan should know better than to hit the NAM hard this far out. Entertaining for sure, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Another GFS run that clobbers northern MO into central OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears 0z ticked south a little bit... Not really, in terms of the placement of the snow. If anything you could argue the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterfreak Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Woah that GFS is gloriys for these parts. The NAM is showing a sleet storm though. Wonder which one will win out. Amazing how we cam have frigid temps yet still have to worry about that annoying warm air aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrad08 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Not really, in terms of the placement of the snow. If anything you could argue the opposite. Heaviest frozen precip on 18z and 0z looked to be right around Cincy in both runs (I know that is not representative of an all snow event by any means as snow will be a good 50 miles north). The cutoff on the northern fringe is right around the Michigan Ohio line on both frames. So to me looks, more of a no-change from 18z... nothing drastic either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbotc Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That forecast.io website seems about as accurate as the Farmer's Almanac. Since it's just an amalgamation of the major models minus the Euro, that should give you some idea about the confidence with this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, the last wave is really the only one that is going to blast my neck of the woods. Saturday pretty much a non-event around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanthunder Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 0z GFS 0zGFS_022814.png If this thing goes slightly north, Macomb's gonna get slammed. As of now, my 4-8 inch prediction looks about right, but I'm still holding out hope for one last bang from the best winter ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimChgo9 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Taft is saying possibly 4"-6"... however, his snow map shows 2.2" over MBY, and generally 2"-3" around the area. He did stress that this was "one model" and gave some idea of what the others were saying. Still waiting and seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Well the Canadian looks a bit better for those of us further north. Looks kinda like the NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Just a FYI in case anyone missed the post from Hoosier about the board downtime. Randy ( Stormtracker ) posted this about the board downtime.. The board will be down at 12:15 am Friday Morning. We expect the downtime to last from 30 minutes to an hour. This is all in an effort to address and possibly fix the SQL issues. Also, there will be times tomorrow where we will be down for extended periods of time beginning in the late morning to afternoon hours. We will attempt to post an announcement as soon as possible before we take the board down tomorrow. We apologize for the inconvenience. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/43049-board-down-time/#entry2835657 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 First and last call for Kokomo - 7-9". I'm 20 miles SE of you that was gonna be my call lol. I'll go 10-12, bring on the lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think there's support for the Sunday system getting farther north but only to a point because of the strength of the PV. It helps that we're in a +NAO to enable some northward movement. The southern stream wave finally being sampled by tomorrow evening or Saturday will help resolve some of the remaining variance.

Powerball Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 16-20" of snow in the Macomb area. To be fair, I was north of here at the time, I go to school down here. It was just under 15". I was there at the time. We have also had 5 events over 6 inches this year in Macomb... Ah, ok. Thanks for the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanthunder Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ah, ok. Thanks for the responses. No problem man. A little out-of-context thing, you guys are awesome over here in this forum. I don't know if this is a good thing or not but I plan to come here for all my storm watching excursions from here on out. I wanted to be a meteorology major, but since I can't do calculus to save my life, that didn't happen for me, and so I'm actually a journalism major with a minor in creative writing. But enough about that, I thank you guys for your patience with me. I'm kinda a noob to this stuff and I'd love to learn more about this stuff, so if you guys have any tips for me, it'd be awesome. I understand the basics, but basics don't help me read the data at the same time. Also, I apologize for going full-out weenie mode earlier. This stuff just gets my enthusiasm going, as I said earlier. Alright, enough sucking up. Weather time. After all, the weather is why we're all out here right now, right?
