Haha . It always seems to snow the first week of February. I can't remember the last time I saw grass on my birthday the 5th.

Let's get you a deep snowpack for your birthday. BTW, do you ever sleep?

Let's see how far we can get these models to bleed SE before the inevitable last minute more amped/NW trend. Still lots of time to go on this one and a lot of factors at play. I'd argue neither Detroit or Minneapolis can throw in the towel yet.

bad model having a bad year

 

the 84 hr NAM/GGEM and DGEX aren't going to pull the coup

 

Actually the CMC has been really good on tracks this winter within 72 hours or so. Snow placement has been a somewhat off at that range.

O yeah. Once I can see the whole run of the EURO I sleep, and then I just catch up on the 6z runs by 9am in the morning. Lol

 

CMC is strong with that lead wave. Basically it creates a storm in one run.

The model's tendency to oversimplify the first wave is probably causing the second to come in further south.

 

I think the CMC is too far south. Probably the most southeast will go now.

 

It gives the SE MI and Ontario folks some hope though.

I'd like to give this solution credence but the GEM is so horrible. It had the lead weekend storm which is going to probably get down to 980mb at some point as a weak FROPA for the longest time.

model consistency/consensus on the western trough, closed upper level low, and a 988-990 slp to right around Chicago is excellent

 

gonna ride with a 1.25" front end dump final call

 

Agreed. Feel good about a slp track right around Chicago, give or take 50 miles.

 

Some interesting events showing up on CIPS. The one that came to mind a few days ago was 12/15/2009 which seemed to have a similar storm track. Oddly enough, that one isn't on the CIPS list.

Where did that one go? I only have 20s and flurries recorded for that day.

Sorry, Geos - I f'd up the dates.

 

Actually, there are two recent storms with similar tracks that aren't showing up on CIPS as of yet.

 

12/20/2012

12/8-9/2009

 

Ahh. Remember those two. First one was pretty much a last minute NW trended and the other one grabbed too much marine air and flung it back. Forecast really busted hard on that '09 one here. Got a story for that one...

I remember I had a final scheduled on the 9th and the professor said if the weather is too severe, I'll move the final to the next day (since most students were commuters). Next morning there is 3" of slop on the ground, less on the pavement. So I figured, darn, gotta go and take a final after all. Get to campus and there is almost no one there. Turns out the Governor just went ahead and closed all Universities and schools because Madison got 20". He thought the whole state got buried! lol. Well I got an extra day to study.
