This isn't my subforum, but I did find it interesting that the 0z NAM and 0z NAM3K are trying to bring lower 60s dewpoints into southern and central Ohio for Thursday, along with small amounts of SBCAPE.  The model is also showing the moist air in southern IL and southern IN as well, though it penetrates further north in OH and at a more ideal time of day (afternoon). Some of the earlier NAM runs had the same or similar dewpoints reaching southern and central Ohio.  Plenty of helicity too.  That said, I understand that the NAM models can be a bit overdone sometimes.

Yeah I noticed that. That seems to be the only model not socking the entire area in with clouds through the day. Given this is such a potent system dynamically (500 mb jet in excess of 120 kts on Thursday), there's definitely going to be strong forcing for ascent over a large area, i.e. clouds/precip, but I do wonder whether the dry punch aloft might be stronger than forecasted by some of the global models and sneak in there/allow some insolation for a time. Should that happen, the dewpoints are sufficient for a severe threat and the shear is obviously off the charts (70-80+ kts of bulk shear) if anything can organize.

Was without power for 18 hours following the historic ice storm.  Finally broke down and ordered a generator.  Felt a little defeated since I like the remote lifestyle, lack of certain conveniences and stuff like that.  oh well.

Ended up with nearly 3/4" of ice and a couple inches of snow at the end.  Trees are super weighted down and it's only a matter of time before the power goes back out.

Point has 11-18" of snow/wind.  A snowstorm following a severe ice storm hasn't ever been recorded (locally) in the UP.  Too bad my generator wont be here until Friday!

I've never seen a situation report before, either.

Welcome to the good life, I love my generator and would not be without one ever again. Going 3 days without power during Christmas with 20 people in your house will change your mind in a hurry. I gassed mine up yesterday as I am little concerned about a .25 of ice with 40 mph winds tomorrow for my area.

That is a strong high being progged to move through the Lakes this weekend.  It's a bit more common to see one of that intensity farther west or north.  

The all-time high pressure reading for Chicago is 1049.1", which will probably be safe, but not by much.

Then again, we have the ICON showing this.  Imagine if we had a high like this last Thursday morning.

All of the ice from last night has remained on the trees.  Thought it would warm up today and melt it all off, but temps were stubborn.  Temps may rise above freezing later tonight, so the precip may be more of a regular rain event, and should also melt off some of the ice still clinging to the trees.

Sucks you had to go through that. Hopefully that's the last of the outages. I reckon ice storms are a pretty rare event up there?
