Jan 11-13th Blizzard


 Share

Recommended Posts

The Jan 1978 storm looked similar 48h before blizzard on Jan 24, with low in TX, trof n.e.,  but it did not make a turn north until it reached AL on night of 25th -26th, then tracked almost due north deepening at double-bomb cyclone rates for 12h, attained a central pressure of 954 mbs near Sarnia-Port huron and eventually tracked between Sudbury-North Bay ON NNE into western Quebec. I looked at maps for all top ORD snowfalls and without other exceptions low pressure tracked NE through IN into central mi or e.n.e. into Ohio, except for Jan 26-78. The Nov 8-9 1913 storm ("white hurricane") followed a similar evolution (GA to sw ON). 

I don't see potential for a triple phaser as trough development is more moderate but air mass contrast is going to be real and spectacular.

Even sexier on the rgem, however it was SE with this current storm at this range so who knows at this point. Ukie/euro way nw.

Also the deformation snows look to be very tight and close to the low which hopefully will keep the dry slot away, that the euro/ukie show.

Kind of resembles a Hurricane with that eye structure LOL.

Sooo Euro has a 12"+ bomber and GFS says maybe 6"?
GFS vs Euro with very different solutions, we see it consistently in the tropics, especially with deep systems. Congrats on the wintry pattern, I was there for 3 days, left yeaterday, snow on the trees was scenic.

Not bad consistency on placement and intensity 36 hours apart:

Actually supports why it's unlikely.  Think what these don't have in common.  Orientation and trajectory of Huge Arctic High to the north...

Excellent consistency. This solution screams mixing/dry-slotting issues for pretty much all the areas that got shafted today as well. 
 

Will be sampled tomorrow, should give us a better picture on what’s going to transpire, LOTS of moving pieces with this. 
 

One thing for certain, GRR will issue an advisory regardless of the outcome.

I don’t think we’ve had a double digit storm in the city proper since 2015

Wasn't there a big lake effect event a few years back? Remember Alek posting some pretty swag pictures. That was literally only the lakefront though if I remember right. IMBY the last snow worth a damn was in 2021, like 10 inches of concrete.
