BuffaloWeather Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 KBUF just had its 4th snowiest January on record in an otherwise garbage pattern. Above normal across all of WNY, Central/Eastern NY are slightly below. Sitting at 93.6" on the year, right around where KBUF is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Claridge Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 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. https://www.weather.gov/media/mqt/sitreport/SitReport1.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 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.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Absolutely pounding quarter sized flakes here and stacking quick. Had a mixed bag of some freezing rain / sleet at the onset but pure heavy snow now. Should tack on 3-5” easily today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
