buckeye Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 One of the meteorologists here in Columbus on channel 6 had to do a video explaining to people that we are not getting 4 to 6 inches on Sunday because I guess a lot of people were calling and asking about the snow for Sunday...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently a forecast from January 2014 by 10TV's Chris Bradley was being shared all over Facebook as if it was this Sunday's forecast. Those social media pictures can grow like wildfire. Smh.

I feel for a lot of local contractors. Getting into the worst kind of weather. The ground freezes solid so they can't do hardscapes and other projects that can normally be done late into the season, but there is also no snow or ice removal. It's a total shut out for them.

wxdudemike Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Well assuming we don't get much of anything Sunday, there is a clipper in the works for Tues/Wed. Pretty moisture starved and may end up just as a frontal passage, but might be able to eek out a half inch or something LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty moisture starved and may end up just as a frontal passage, but might be able to eek out a half inch or something LOL The 00z GFS had a few decent hits for us, some clippers and some southern stuff but the Euro has been greedy this winter so far with it's fantasy digital snows. I guess that speaks for it's accuracy though. It's one thing not to have snow, it's even more amazing that we really haven't had a legit storm to track inside 7 days. Even the euro 15 day mean doesn't look very promising for snow threats, granted more and more of the individual members are at least showing a few big dogs here and there. Here's the euro 00z 10 day OP totals: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 06Z is LES paradise, only <3 inches of what's shown in MI is from Saturday, so I'd take 8 inches of LES 169 miles inland from the lake.

IWXwx Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Once a legitimate clipper train shows up, (assuming it does), it'll be interesting to see if it's a winter of north or south trends. Many are assuming that it will be clipper city, but it's a big if. However, anecdotally, storms have been coming in as strong or stronger than early model iterations indicate lately. If that continues, those clippers/screamers/maulers etc. may dig more than what models originally prog. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbcmh81 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 So regarding the futility snowfall record... 2015-2016 is currently sitting at a Trace. Here are the least snowy periods October 1st-January 7th. 1928-1929: 0.1 2006-2007: 0.2 1923-1924: 0.3 1908-1909 and 1940-1941: 0.5 1949-1950: 0.7 2011-2012: 0.9 1896-1897: 1.1 1918-1919, 1925-1926: 1.2 1965-1966: 1.3 1943-1944, 1982-1983, 1986-1987: 1.5 1879-1880, 1994-1995: 1.8 1938-1939: 2.0 Here were the results for the rest of the snow season, the overall seasonal total and the seasonal total from current average (listed as 26.7 at NWS ILN, which is down from what it used to be. 1928-1929: 18.3/18.4/-8.3 2006-2007: 22.1/22.3/-4.3 1923-1924: 12.0/12.3/-14.4 1908-1909: 15.7/16.2/-10.5 1940-1941: 10.1/10.7/-16 1949-1950: 5.8/6.5/-20.2 2011-2012: 11.3/12.2/-14-5 1896-1897: 7.5/8.6/-18.1 1918-1919: 2.2/3.4/-23.3 1925-1926: 26.1/27.3/+0.6 1965-1966: 16.2/17.5/-9.2 1943-1944: 12.1/13.6/-13.1 1982-1983: 10.0/11.5/-15.2 1986-1987: 21.7/23.2/-3.5 1879-1880: 2.5/4.3/-22.4 1994-1995: 19.9/21.7/-5 1938-1939: 16.3/18.3/-8.4 So not a lot of good news there. Only one winter ended up slightly surpassing the current normal. However, very few of these had cold months January-March. 1923-1924, 1925-1926, 1928-1929 and 1965-1966 all featured generally below normal temperatures between January and February, and sometimes into March. These had a bit better average than those that did not. Additionally, seasons like 1994-1995 and 2006-2007, which had at least one month decently below normal did better as well. Only 1965-1966 and 2006-2007 had months with what might be considered severe, long duration cold. So yeah, if temps can stay normal to below, there is a small chance that the rest of the winter can turn out something salvageable, but history has not been kind.

wxdudemike Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Seems like one of those clippers next week should give us something light. A bit hard to believe both miss north given the fairly extreme blocking forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit hard to believe both miss north given the fairly extreme blocking forecast. 00z ukmet and ggem both show the tuesday clipper now. Appears the low track is thru southern MI but good coverage of snow well to the south.

buckeye Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's Fantasy Friday Time: 6zgfs gave us some long term loving. this is the 10 day snow total, followed by a fantasy storm at 348. The nuts are all over the place, eventually that blind squirrel has got to show up?...I'm starting to think they've captured him in Chicago.
