IWXwx Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Yet another miss for Northeast Indiana upcoming, especially if the King reigns. More rain and the bad thing about this one is that it will be followed by a barren arctic tundra for days on end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 big pattern change looking like it could produce a couple rainers followed by CAD not an ideal follow up to december imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 A part of me wants Detroit to see a winter of relative futility, just to see how @michsnowfreak would react. I know if all else fails, February seems to always come through to save the day. That said, January so far isn't looking as hot as the broader pattern originally suggested for snow prospects in/around the Motor City (it's looking cold but dry)... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a Nino, which is why if we don't get much Friday that would almost seal it for a below normal snow for the season. You can't just punt Dec and January and hope that Feb/Mar pay off.

I think @michsnowfreak would go nuts if he experienced 4 of the top 5 least snowiest winters on record in a period of 10 years like we did in Toronto from 2006-2016. And if so, he can pull out any historic stat but I know there's nothing as unprecedented as experiencing 4 futility winters in 10 years. That being said, February's are not as favorable for snow for our region as January is in El Nino's, especially strong El Nino's. But thing's can always change. Like how rare it is to get two sub 980 Low's in 4 days that both end up being cutters in an El Nino. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I think if Feb were to end up cold and dry, Michsnowfreak would still be happy as there will always be some snow around if it’s cold and any snow cover would stick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokomoWX Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Well this figures... Hydrologic Outlook National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 309 PM EST Wed Jan 10 2024 …Heavy Rainfall Expected over Central Indiana Friday… An active weather pattern this week will bring a second round of heavy rainfall on Friday. Current forecast totals for Friday of around one to two inches across central Indiana with locally higher amounts will bring additional river rises after the responses from early week rains of 1 to 1.5 inches. Area river and stream levels have been very low up to this point due to ongoing drought, but this round of heavy rainfall Friday could bring many river locations to action stage, which will mean faster flows and higher stages than have been seen in quite some time. While widespread flooding is not currently expected, some smaller, faster responding streams and even a few spots along the Wabash could see minor flooding develop depending on rainfall rates and where the heaviest rain falls. Stay weather aware and monitor for any possible flood watches or warnings going into and through the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting how the LES band diminishes or even dies out prior to Lansing but then picks up over the hills around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping we can get enough of a front end dump and backside 1-2" that we aren't fully looking at bare ground next week with the cold. Toronto saw 5cm yesterday so up to 23cm on the season.

Obviously not like the west side of the state. Definitely would like to be a couple more counties west at least. Hell my profile pic is of during a nasty snow squall I think 6 years or so back. I’ve always wondered if it’s possible to get a nasty lake effect event from Erie if winds come from the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is possible and probably has happened. At MTU (Houghton) a couple of my best LES events were E/ENE winds off Superior but they were not common to get at all.

I experienced a freak lake event in Toledo in the early 90's. Weirdist thing I've ever experienced and remember looking at the radar in disbelief. Don't remember the set up but it's the only time i've experienced it in my life time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Thankful for that GHD III hit in February 2022 or I would likely be losing my mind. That was the first double digit hit since March 2013 and before that was February 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 On 1/8/2024 at 5:23 PM, WestMichigan said: Wish I had one of those for my tractor. They are soooo expensive. I want a thing with a big blade to brake off packed down snow and ice. Snowblower is kind of useless if you procrastinate and pack the snow down hard by driving over it. With winters lately I’m used to just driving over the snow and waiting for it to melt. I was not sure it was going to melt before the coming cold so I had to chip it all off manually so that it doesn’t become a skating rink. I somehow injured my rotator cuff shoving the shovel into the ice. Ugh. Maybe should have salted it first to get it softer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
