Thanks for posting that.

 

GFS had like 6" here (not sure if it ever caught up).  Actual fall was 10.5".  Can't remember what the ECMWF did for that storm though I know it had it too far east around 5 days out.

Via Tom Skilling's FB: dreariest Chicago December since 1975

Another way of looking at it -- the bright side as it were -- is as of yesterday Chicago has racked up ~250% more sunlight hours this December than one would expect in a typical June, on Macquarie Island!

Clouds clouds clouds...rain rain ...freezing rain///  fog monster...  just get a foot of snow, bring down some cold Canadian high pressure and lets get the sun back in here..  this is stupid.

 

I concur, my new motto is 'Snow or sun', we've had very little of either this month, just chilly or cold, steel gray, snowless days.

maybe for the stats peeps...

 

when's the last time there were blizzard warnings in our subforum on Christmas day?  I guess, not really including a one county blizzard warning for a LES event.

 

while there may not be feet and feet of snow next week for the system....there could be a spots with 4 to 6 inches with blizzard conditions being met....

 

just wondering off hand

Can't think of one off the top of my head.  The warning archives don't go back extremely far so it may be tough to find out.

Already in lose sleep mode over this thing...against my better judgement as I've been battling some sort of sinus/respiratory thing for the past several days. 

 

Take it from an old guy. Get some rest. I used to lose sleep over wx too. As I got older, I found out that the weather would still be there when I got up, I would feel better, and I would be more pleasant to be around.

 

The 0z Euro will be the same whether you look at it at 2:30 AM or 8:30 AM.

Cleveland and parts of Northern Ohio were under blizzard warnings Christmas Day just two years ago for a synoptic storm. The synoptic storm was an utter bust here with no blizzard verifying, but indeed there were blizzard warnings on Christmas Day.

Yea DTW should get that crust on the backside that will measure. Highly unlikey DTW gets 0.0" for the month.

Plus the pattern is almost surely going into well below normal temps towards New Years. We have to hope to get some good NW flow clippers out of it, but those arent often modeled til several days out.

 

And technically, DTW already has T on several days this month, so its 100% certain they dont get 0.0" lol

It would be second time in history that it would finish with a Trace?
