hm8 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Not doing anything but turd polishing here, but the steep low level lapse rates and a pretty saturated column through the DGZ give sme hope for some heavy snow showers popping up across all of SEMI tomorrow and Wednesday. Always cool to see convective clouds in mid-winter. But as I said...turd polishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The only storm name that stuck with me is Jonas - the east coast blizzard. It was repeated in the media so much that was hard to forget. That band coming down into Milwaukee has 30 dbz+ pockets in it. Hope it holds together. Edit: Under solid -SN right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Squall moved through with +SN about an hour ago under modest radar returns. Right now the inversion height is near 925mb. Ceilings are very low and as a result, the radar wont be the best indicator of SN rates this evening. After midnight, LL lapse rates will become much steeper as the inversion rises. This may be an opportunity for an LE band to form(like the RGEM is showing). The HRRR/NAM have no band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always cool to see convective clouds in mid-winter. But as I said...turd polishing. Yeah, I mentioned earlier today that there were some pretty sweet cumulonimbus clouds. Looked like summer skies. Cell popped up about 15 miles to the east in Ravenna. Looks like it dropped a couple inches in a couple hours, from looking at the webcam. Looks like some of the band might be dropping in on me. Hopefully. While it was occurring there in between, it was 40 degrees in Grand Rapids and mid-upper 30s here. http://legacy.weather.weatherbug.com/weather-safety/online-weather-center/Camera/Camera.aspx?stat=RVNNR&camera=RVNNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 down to 13 with snow most of the day. not particularly heavy, a few inches since late last night. should keep light to mod snow for the next 2 days at least, accumulating 8-10" I'd bet. edit.... maybe a bit more. new 48 hr graphic just issued.

Seems to focus it along the north shore of Lk Ontario. At least that's what I can tell from its simulated radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's what I can tell from its simulated radar. The most recent run actually has the band. The previous run, as you mentioned, focused the action along the N shore. This occurs as the front lifts north pretty quickly and the wind shifts to the SSW. The 21z run veers the winds much slower, so the band can form once the inversion rises.

TugHillMatt Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Muskegon Anti-Synoptic Snow shield up in full force. As the snowband pushes south the snow shoots back north, west, and east. Unreal. http://woodtv.com/weather/radar/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidewinder Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Nacho is over-performing here, had a burst here this morning giving us an easy inch. Afternoon melted it all but it was replaced by a fresh inch this evening. Indy's best snowfall day was Jan 20th with 1.9 inches, would not take much to top it.

Chambana Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Had some wind whipped snow showers earlier, that reduced visibility down to less than 1 mile for a good 30-45 minutes, in a painfully boring winter, I'll take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Funny how a "system" that was happily going to deliver to most of us leaves many of us hoping we are not going to be in one of the 100000000000 screw zones that currently exist.

Should slowly start to see the snow redevelop after the little lull you've had. I'm wondering if the bigger potential for accumulations is tomorrow night when the mid level centre moves through. Models are of little use so it's a real tough forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London snowsquall Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Finally switched to snow here in London. Coating on the grass. Welcome to the synoptic wintertime disappointment that's London. Hours of precip. and it's cold rain. It's usually LES or bust around here. What do you make of the squall potential the next couple days? EC finally mentioned a couple periods for LES, but the Buffalo WRF that I looked at showed the best activity both west and east at various times. Not much in the city.

snowlover2 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I seem to be lucky enough to get under a heavier snow burst. Got an inch of snow over the better part of the last hour and still snowing nicely. Said snow burst seems stationary on the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC finally mentioned a couple periods for LES, but the Buffalo WRF that I looked at showed the best activity both west and east at various times. Not much in the city. Yeah, today was kind of disappointing. There was the potential for a thick heavy snow but temps were just a bit too warm. The squall risk is really concentrated in the Wednesday night and Thursday timeframe. A little out of the range of the hi res models so I wouldn't worry about the particulars at this point. I think the one thing that can be said about the potential is that it won't be a massive 2' storm or anything because the winds will back ahead of the next clipper.

I'll be honest, the HRRR has been crap this year. RAP is very hit and miss... but I'm not expecting any big shockers. Still hoping my 1-3" call pans out. It'll be nice to see how long this lake effect band stays right over the city. Impressive gusts happening right now. I'm happy to have something. Plus, it's a pretty cool synoptic setup!

Would be different to see something more than a couple inches at a time. Those Cdn folks looking for snow should be moving to NS. My cousin in Sydney NS is looking at a blizzard currently. Must be the 5th winter storm at least since Jan. And this winter has been mild compared to the last 2 years............... They get some absolute brutes in the Maritimes.
