Yes. The lake helped a few spots out this way. Even a few 4-5" inch reports. May have been more in a spot or two especially near Grand Rapids on up to Muskegon. Had some nice bands off the lake earlier which hung out in a few spots for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but what are they 1 for 4 this year on storms, I'd rather have no storm potential then periodic significant letdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Well it looks like i get one last chance to make a run at 2" inches thanks to this new stuff that has pushed in here off the lake. At the very least it has made the roads here a total nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONDAY-WEDNESDAY: After mostly sunny skies Monday, skies will be partly cloudy Tuesday & Wednesday. Overnight lows will run 20-25 & daily highs will run from 35-40 Monday to 41-46 Tuesday & 42-47 Wednesday. THURSDAY-SATURDAY: The next potential of rainfall appears to be evolving for this period. There is a corridor of heavy rainfall with the system, but it is a bit unclear as to whether this rainfall will pass through our area, or stay to our south. Temperatures will be mild in the 40s.

He actually had a really good forecast for December for here in his winter outlook. But he said January would be mild/wet with a little snow. So I think he's ignoring the actual weather a little lately, to fit his outlook. He's also calling for two Nor'easters for the Mid-Atlantic northward this weekend/next week. I didn't know he did EC weather too. On 1/5/2011 at 3:51 AM, Hoosier said: My boy? Hard to disagree at this point though...might not be enough to cover the grass tips.

This is also the first time the grass has been covered. Hopefully the LES pattern continues and we can get some more later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant believe its first time youve had to shovel though! 0.2" of new fluff overnight so the "event" total is 0.3" here, but with no water content it will probably evaporate by afternoon. DTX certainly is interested in lake effect potential (esp 94 band) in the coming days, some of which will be induced by the shortwave/clipper/whatever you want to call it.

Then things get very interesting. On 1/5/2011 at 1:36 PM, michsnowfreak said: Wow congrats!

Yeah they had a great discussion about it all. Thing i liked about it is they covered all ground with even mentioning that there could be more then 1-2 along/south of i94 out that way. Don't get a much better set up then this with a wnw/nw flow event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 2.4 cm in montreal 3.8 cm in ottawa from the first clipper woo-hoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's too bad this low couldn't take a path to the SE about 100 miles westerly of where it's currently progged to by the models. GFS/GGEM were showing something like that about 3 or 4 days ago. Would have been a prime E wind lake enhanced setup, similar to Jan 17, 2009. Still think 2-3" looks good for Toronto.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 18z WRF has an interesting lake effect convergence zone setting up on the NW shores of Lk Ontario where SSE winds ahead of the clipper meet up with WNW winds as the cold front approaches.
