geddyweather Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Not quite seeing the agreement I want to in regards to 6"+ totals locally. The horrors of model performance this go-round need not be stated, so still waiting eagerly for another set of runs before we cautiously get on board the ship. If I were to lock in as-is, I'd say 3-5" imby seems like a decent call. However, still a ton of subtle differences this far inside of 24 hours for me to feel good about anything...

Hoosier Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Temps are generally 33-34 where the better snow is right now. Honestly I am expecting very little to stick through the afternoon hours and will be pleasantly surprised otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been a horrendous stretch. The long term average for 10"+ storms in Chicago is closer to one every three years, so yeah, running behind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanis Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Are we taking guesses for highest snowfall report in the sub from this most recent strung out garbage “event”? Not sure anyone will have more than 5” OTG when it’s all over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Just a heads up, ILX is providing scheduled service backup for us (LOT) today so forecast and hazard updates will be from them and AFDs will note that they're issued by ILX. I think we're still doing our graphics. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Any other Grand Rapids are folks here? Looks like Lucy pulled the football away yet again. This winter has been so disappointing. It seems like it's just IMBY bad luck for GR in particular as other areas have been hit. At this point I'm ready for spring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like fun. The 3km NAM is a dream. I think 6-8" seems like a reasonable call but my cautious side thinks 6" seems feasible. I would love some bonus lake effect though.

fluoronium Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It's been dumping snow all morning here but like recent snows, most of it is melting after it hits and there is a little under an inch on the ground. Roads are slick in many places though and I saw a handful of wrecks on i74 a half hour ago. Nice big flakes and sticking to the trees so I'm definitely not complaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my daughter is a senior in HS here in the GR area, and is very disturbed by the lack of snow days (none this year for our school district). It seems like October was the best month for winter weather. That said we took a ski trip to Boyne Highlands last week and got 6" of pow on Tuesday, which helped alleviate the pain.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing out on big jet-phased synoptic snow events happens every year, but being in West Michigan most years you at least get the consolation prize of a decent cold stretch with a clipper train and lake enhancement to build up the snowpack. We missed out on that part of winter almost completely this year. Cold snaps have been unusually dry and short lived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 12z Euro is decent here at face value, but the problem is that it has a couple inches down by 00z which looks unlikely. So would have to rally more than expected after that time to make up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
