Chicago WX Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Had to come out of hiding with that run. This GFS run and the Euro run from a couple of days ago are the most epic runs I've ever seen on weather models. Snow, wind, and cold combo. Chances of verifying exactly like that are slim, but a person can dream. It's an easy top 5 storm all-time for the region. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 The giddiness these storms give never gets old, it always makes me feel like a kid again. Should things materialize like 12z GFS shows, this area could be looking at the biggest blizzard since February 13th, 2007. I sense lots of coffee and emotions over the next 72 hours. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 12z UKMET also with a jump back west once again. Evolution aloft is different, so the SLP actually tracks from Des Moines-Chicago-Detroit. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Huge potential for widespread power outages with the wind behind this just as the real arctic air settles in. Glad I don't live in my previous apartment solely dependent on the puny electric heater anymore, but the gas furnace still requires power to ignite and run the blower sooooo... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwburbschaser Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I'm all for the blizzard as long as I don't lose power. That GFS run is incredible for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and a month too early in the season to even treat us a little more favorably via climo. I think I liked sitting in these boards dreaming of a monster storm much more than one coming along and scraping me with scraps. Hoping, perhaps in futility for some last-minute miracle like a favorable occlusion, stalling, etc. Can't hold my breath on it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 2 hours ago, ChiTownSnow said: Question.. given that it is around the holidays, when do you think winter storm watches would be hoisted? I would assume giving the situation, a bit earlier than normal? Still a few days away from that. Should current guidance pan out... Lead snow chances possibly as early as Wednesday night, but main system snow generally Thur/Fri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Kart Mozart Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Ridiculous sounding, winds unidirectional through 500mb. 65knot winds at 850. And a slightly low DGZ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
