Haha Awesome... ;-) Hopefully cooler heads prevail and everyone chills out on the track for 24ish hours until this thing becomes more clear... Whole bunch of people are potentially in the money, we all have bingo cards with 4 in a row, just waiting on that 5th number. Some will win, someone will lose. Give me 2 inches of totally frozen precip vs all the mess storms we've had in N IL thus far and I'm a happy man. Happy Friday everyone! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 A little skeptical of the model depictions that have it getting above freezing over 100 miles north of the surface low track (besides any possible marine influences), especially lacking an obnoxiously warm layer aloft that far north. Still have time to hone in on that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not completely eliminated, but progress. And the map is 10:1 ratios. If the 18z and 0z Euro ensembles follow suit, I think we're in business. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purduewx80 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Snow:liquid ratios probably won’t be spectacular given the DGZ is only 100mb deep, strong winds from 700 to the surface and a temp profile flirting w the freezing mark, at least from IL on east. I’d say average 8-12:1. Another reminder that QPF is poorly modeled and often too high (w some exceptions....NAM cold sector for instance).

As an optimistic person, I love to see the optimism! However, I would probably never ever “count on” a snowstorm that’s not in the northeast dumping 20(+) inches of snow. I wasn’t even confident that GHD 1 was going to verify to the kinda-sorta way it did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will be pushing blizzard criteria in some areas, even if the ratios and thus blowing and drifting are held in check a little. There's a signal for a period of heavy rates, so even if the blowing is a bit muted, the rates may be able to do a lot of the work to get down toward/under 1/4 mile visibility.
