ConvectiveIA Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 In this area do HRRR and RAP have as good of a record for 12hrs out or more as say the big globals do? Or are these rapid models mostly useful only inside of 12 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that's our middle name, missed the perfect weekend for the winter hike by 1 week AGAIN THIS YEAR! Ended up with 2.75"ish today, with compression of Friday's snow there's about 4.5 to 5" on the level IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespasian70 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Roads are pretty bad here in Newark tonight. Measured 3" on my sidewalk, but could be closer to 4". Clippers love the I-70 corridor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vespasian70 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 A snow band set up over central OH for several hours last night so we ended up with 4.5" here in Newark. Not bad at all! Hopefully Steve will chime in with a Newark total too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osubrett2 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Pleasantly surprised on how this over-performed. Picked up ~1.5-2" through 4pm, then what looked like the back edge swung through between 5-6pm and dropped another 1.5". Then that light band of snow kept pushing NE from Kentucky and dropped another .5" through the overnight. Nice weekend/72 hour total of approximately 10" IMBY and most of Central Ohio.

Thought the same thing. Best 3 days of winter since that steroidal squall and clipper weekend back in 2015 (or 2014) that gave us 10" over the same timeframe on a weekend. Awesome to have a few days with about 10" on the ground. Looks like we go on hiatus until possibly sometime in Feb. Unless there's a biggie coming back, I'd be perfectly content with coasting into spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 How much is on the ground in Columbus? And i don't think this hiatus will coast you into spring buckeye. I was just posting in the long range thread that seems a cold stormy pattern comes into play by mid Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i don't think this hiatus will coast you into spring buckeye. I was just posting in the long range thread that seems a cold stormy pattern comes into play by mid Feb. I would say between 8 and 10, the friday night storm was with horizontal snows so it really was impossible to measure. Best I could do was the top of my AC condensor which sits in a protected area by my house. As far as the extended period....definitely looks stormy but also looks like the southeast ridge is going to be on steroids and it'll be cutter city. I would guess that means better chances for you and especially the snow-starved Chicago area. So if I had to guess how things go in general. We'll see some pretty strong cutters that may eventually come more south and east over time....which of course would set us up for one of our classic extremely late winter events.

Steve Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Is it me or does it seem like the temperatures are trending down for this weekend supposed to have a high in the low 50s Sunday now it says mid-40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a slight downward trend. Models were likely underestimating snow pack since none of global mid-long range models depicted us having a base of 8-10". We'll likely see a rebound later in the week or we'll "overachieve" once the snow starts to melt with clear, sunny skies and warmer temps beginning Friday. We always "overachieve" in cutter patterns, like this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighTechEE Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Well it looks like this party died quick! Oh well, here's some cool webcams from Glacier National Park where we vacationed last August. There's 26 glaciers left and they said they're loosing 2 per year which means they all will be gone by 2030... We stayed in Whitefish, MT on the west side of GNP, visited most of these locations except the east glacier locations: https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Probably shouldn't totally discount the system tonight as ILN is saying 1-2 along and north of i70, and some models have been trending south with it. But our best chance is the tues night/wed event. The 00z euro came further north and snowier for us. The gfs came in drier. Euro is now the snowiest which is strange and would normally be a good thing...but we know how it's been lately. 6z Nogaps took a big jump nw, (yea I know its a joke model), but I've seen it telegraph future model trends at this range. Should be interesting to watch this one. The negatives are it's a fast moving system on a pos tilted trough with not a big area of cold sector precip, (if you buy into the less snowy models). The positives are the track is good and the moisture coming up is copious. I'm least worried about a warm tongue and mixing....biggest concern is either a whiff south or cold sector precip drying up on future runs.
