baroclinic_instability Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I am loving the arctic front threat the end of next work week--nobody can start a thread though--that is cmichweather's duty since he called dibbs on this last night.

baroclinic_instability Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 looks like another arctic shot for next weekend around here after a brief warmup for later in the week...both euro/gfs have strong L diving to the lakes, hope it can come in further sw That is weather pron. Loving the threat for a true arctic front--none of this arctic high garbage seeping and trickling in like last event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Today is the 6th year anniversary of a REAL winter storm, everything was perfect about it (received over a foot from it and several hours of non-stop heavy/wind driven snow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That event sucked locally, although I was not denied as I went on a lake effect chase that evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 That event sucked locally, although I was not denied as I went on a lake effect chase that evening. Yeah i don't think many down that way on down to i70 cared much for that as it did the last minute jump north on the models. I remember you chasing that though. Took some great pics if i recall correctly as well? Too bad i only caught the tail end of it as i had to work 3rd that night it hit and did alot of the damage.

Yeah I remember the north jump. I think the ETA or NAM or whatever was hinting at that. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics during my chase.

Chicago WX Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 That event sucked locally, although I was not denied as I went on a lake effect chase that evening. Measly couple of inches...a few bouts of mod to heavy snow...decent gusts...but yeah largely forgettable here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I didn't take any pics during my chase. Hmmm.. Maybe i am mixing it up with another chase of yours? And yes i do believe it was the ETA/now NAM that caught on to the north trend first.

Stevo6899 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Nice banding near omaha. Quick 5-7 inches in 3-4 hours. temps int he teens. Wonder what ratios are like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hmmm.. Maybe i am mixing it up with another chase of yours? And yes i do believe it was the ETA/now NAM that caught on to the north trend first. was that a manitoba mauler? That was a heartbreaker here. We were pegged for 6-10" and ended up with a dusting. Knowing then what i know now, i would have been very leary of a storm like that not dryslotting us or jumping north. I bet we've never received over 6" from a northern stream system like that.

It was in a class of its own. A PV coming out of the pacific (panhadle hooker) merged with another PV coming out of Canada (the clipper) over Ohio. One of the SPC mesoscale discussions brought it up stating renewed cyclonegensis was taking place over Ohio. As of the evening before the storm began we were only forecasted to see 6-10". This was probably one of my favorite overachievers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well CMH saved a little face and recorded 2.2" with that storm, but it was a WI/BowMe to ORD to southern 1/2 of lower MI special. BTW, here's a little radar loop of a portion of that storm.

The other thing i remember about that storm was after it was crystal clear that we had been screwed by the dryslot, never to recover, ole henry margusity updated his blog saying he was sticking with his 6-10 call across ohio due to the ULL that would be coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an hour of mod-heavy snow in the morning...then overcast and spits of snow until just after noon...followed by some decent snow until about 4. The end. That was one of the seemingly rare times that LAF and CMH looked to both get hit pretty hard. No wonder it didn't happen for either of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I actually have Skilling's wx segment from that night on tape somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 On and off snow showers here all day, although we've had some nice dendrites for the past hour or so (besides the burst from this morning). The kind you wish you could bottle and save for an actual storm. Also congrats to our Omaha area posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 We had 10.5 inches of lake enhanced/lake effect snow here today. Almost two feet of snow on the ground now!

This is definitely more like what I was expecting when I moved here. The 40 mile difference between here and Grand Rapids is amazing...they've had something like 17 inches this month while we've had 45 inches.
