baroclinic_instability Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Interesting. But if it works, lovely as it would be to see the snow, I won't be able to pay the money. Then stebo will hire some goons to break my thumbs. lol I'm not a mobster, plus I'd just come collect in person Stebo would break your thumbs, Hoosier would seal the deal.

cyclone77 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 So far this winter mirrors the last 3-4 for this area. Uneventful November, followed by a very active December, followed by nickel and dimers in January and beyond. We hit 38 today without much sun. The lack of snow cover will greatly reduce the impacts of the upcoming arctic surge in this area. I doubt we get any colder than what we've already experienced so far this winter.

Disgusting what a few day torch can do to the landscape, ect... I would really be a crab ass if I lost as much snow as you had. It seems like we're later in to winter for some reason so the doom and gloom has set in for me but in reality we still have a decent amount of winter left as long as we can do without a prolonged torch after this quiet period - most areas should end up no worse than a little below avg on the winter... Maybe not the blockbuster Nina but then again who knows though how winter goes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 12Z GFS (It's actually pretty consistent with the storm next weekend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 12Z GFS (It's actually pretty consistent with the storm next weekend) This might be the case where SEMI will be on the East side of the low but there shold be enough cold air place to atleast start of with some decent accumulation. What you think about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you think about that? From what I've seen over the last few runs was all snow, so I don't think cold air will be a problem, especially after sitting in a cold airrmass all week.

Eh it's fantasy, but it's been on at least several runs now so it beats the boredom of next weeks' Fail. The Euro/CMC have a weaker version of it. It's also on the GEFS...something to keep an eye on.

IWXwx Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 it's going to shift south, seasonal trends and extreme cold airmass FTL It's already shifted south.

buckeye Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 lolz x infinity. how does a low passing over WI bring IN and OH a snowstorm. I've never understood why the gfs does that in the longrange all the time. It always seems to extend cold air well south of the low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Given the south trend recently I'd say we are in a golden spot EURO shows more of fairly strong clipper type system looks to work through the northern US and southern Canada..then eventually into the Eastern Lakes.

kab2791 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 12z Euro taking it to Lake Superior but pretty weak. Basically a broad brushed 0.1-0.3 QPF even across the MW/GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although given the seasonal trends, I'm more inclined to believe the 0c 850 line is correct, not the sfc low position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 It's been snowing since about 1230pm with a nice coating covering cars, roads, and such, but the weather station isn't picking it up. Must be having tech issues again. Should be at least 0.5mm-1mm of precip measured by now.

baroclinic_instability Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Honestly I like the storm threat with the incoming arctic outbreak. Both the GFS/ECM suggest a potential Pacific trough ejecting as a baroclinic waves over the plains and tracking E and ushering in the Arctic pain. Could be a widespread event.

cyclone77 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Pretty uneventful here today. Made it to 30 with lots of clouds. Some flurries were in the area but didn't see any around here. May get a few snow showers tomorrow, but nothing that will accumulate. Hoping we can get an inch or so out of that Monday system to get the ground white again.
