Roger Smith Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Is there a list of top Chicago snowstorm amounts on 1-d and 2-d basis? I know 1-26/27-1967 is tops but what does the top ten look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo6899 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 GFS pretty consistent on the heavy band in Indiana/Michigan. Don't usually like to be hoping for a SE jog, and rather be on the NW fringes, but detroit only a few counties away from the band. Heartbreaking cutoff.

hawkeye_wx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Models are pretty close at this point. This is looking bigger to the east of Iowa, but models have some solid snow hanging back into my area. Combined with the wind and cold, on top of the current storm's snow, it should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 My snow stick only goes up to 24” so after that I’m not sure how to measure for you guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Would rather not be in the money zone this far out, but alas. Floor for enjoyment would be 2-3” and no rain. Cover the ground a bit and liven up the landscape before the awful cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 If GFS verified would expect 15-25 in snowfalls (local 25-35) in parts of IL, IN, se WI, w mi, and 6-10 ft drifts in 50-70 mph winds, especially in snow belt additional snowfall zones. Continuous deepening for 24h and L michigan enhancement would combine to produce severe blizzard conditions. Gem is not quite as strong but 10-20 local 20-25 and 4-6 ft drifts, 35-55 mph . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah looks like we'll both be outside of the heavy swath, but high ratio snows on top of what will already be a deep snowpack will be fun. Will just add even more ferocity to the incoming arctic blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna bother looking into thermals at this range tho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're also in the jackpot zone for this storm so we don't really get to complain lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago916 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Not to take away from the possible snow, but the cold forecast after this storm looks really impressive. GFS shows below 0 wind chills from 1-13-24 through the end its run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right. Made all the more dramatic by the warm/quiet winter we've had up until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago916 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Anyone catch Tom Skilling mention this yet? One of my favorite memories was him discussing the GHD blizzard as soon as the EURO starting showing it a long ways out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Euro odd though with thermals. With as south as it tracks, it has rain for quite a bit before changeover here. Bit skeptical of this based on colder air available for this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I would say the Thursday frontal wave could lay down 1-3" snow ahead of the heavier blizzard snowfalls, and when the low starts developing early Friday over OK-AR, the frontal boundary will be about where the low is supposed to track, so cold air will be well entrenched over n IL and all of WI, even parts of w mi west of GRR to APN. Temps during the blizzard would be around 28-31F near ORD due to lake moderation, but would quickly fall off to 15-20 F in w IL and 20-25F in e/c IL. The warm sector would get quickly squeezed out from colder air encircling the low and occluding fronts to force a new center to develop near Lake Ontario on Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
