Y'all can sugarcoat and scoot around it all you want. Yes the winters have sucked but the northern suburbs have seen more snow in the period. Nothing to sugarcoat just stating the facts.

Stebo Posted Friday at 05:26 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:26 PM Just now, Stevo6899 said: Gulf lows are the best. Lows that come out of panhandle and this current one favors areas to our west. But you can keep going against what I say for fun if you want. A strenghtheing low coming out of NE Oklahoma in no way would deliver here, and easily track through chicago, at best fort wayne. Dude the GHD blizzard was a panhandle storm, so was the Blizzard of 99 and 78. What are we even doing here.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he needs to stop making the thread about himself, and move that shit to another thread, like the complaint thread for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted Friday at 05:36 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:36 PM Pretty impressive this high is this strong with no snowpack aid at the surface really at all. Congrats to Indy, Cincy, Columbus & Pittsburgh. I'm just happy I'll be able to go over to Mt Brighton for some fake snow for the next few weeksThat plus the confluence from the upper low/PV lobe over eastern Canada and the northeast forced south by the NAO block. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted Friday at 06:50 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:50 PM currently riding the canadian obvI know you know that's overdone, but re. the LES, def a signal there for some accums, orientation and residence time of convergence TBD. Main limiting factor is lower inversion heights (around 850 mb), which would reduce flake size and snow ratios. Also the instability and lake to 850 delta Ts are on the modest side. The Canadians have higher inversion heights than the other guidance but not so much higher to explain the difference in QPF/snow amounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted Friday at 07:12 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:12 PM Freezing rain threat still appears to be a major concern along the Ohio River valley. That may end up being the real "star" of this storm if trends hold. Plus, cold air filtering in behind this system means melting won't happen like we typically see with freezing rain events.

Nothing to sugarcoat just stating the facts. 2020-21 and 2021-22 were fine. Both had excellent stretches. And 2022-23 had 2 storms with thundersnow and an ice storm. IMO, only last winter truly sucked. The whole thing is getting tiresome. Sometimes liking what you like OR stating facts, doesnt matter, damned if you do and damned if you dont. Bottom line - here are the facts. The last 5 winters (2019-20 thru 2023-24) BOTH Detroit and Flint each saw 6 storms of 6"+ and both saw peak snow depths in those 5 years of 14". Avg snowfall the past 5 winters was 39.3" at Detroit and 48.3" at Flint. Great winters? No. As bad as some act like? NO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdgwx Posted Friday at 09:26 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:26 PM There is a chance St. Louis might actually get 6"+ out of this storm. It would be the first occurrence in nearly 5 years. It depends on how much of the expected precipitation falls as sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frog Town Posted Friday at 09:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:58 PM We lost the ICON...LOL Upper Level Trough goes positive too fast leading to all this crap on the EURO/CMC/ICON. Ironically, it's typically the other way around leading to my area getting dry slotted with a strengthening storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
