dilly84 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 dilly84- NAM had us between 8-10 and GFS had us right at 10. The models for about 24 hours leading up to the start of the storm really had the right idea all along. Not something you see happen all the time. Also, temps were around 11 when the snow was falling, so we had ratios around 15-1 So in reality it is underperforming per what models showed for you.

Need to update your location in your profile so people don't get confused. Good luck with the system. Most of what falls here will be from the northern energy/lake enhanced stuff. GRR going with 2 here which seems reasonable. Could be more or less as you never know with this stuff off the lake here. Areas by the lake shore have a advisory for 3-6 which seems fine except i disagree with the heaviest being in the NW part of the area as the flow looks to only go very briefly wsw/sw ( if that )and that is thanks to the southern system which should hold the flow more westerly till the front arrives and sends it wnw.

Guru Of Reason Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 This storm has definitely overperformed. I haven't went outside yet as it is still early, but STL is reporting about 9 inches of snow, with 2 more inches expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both 6z NAM and GFS now bring the 0.10" line into extreme SE MI. Wonder if we will get in a little on both the storm AND cold front. And congrats on STL for FINALLY getting a 6"+ snowstorm!

And congrats on STL for FINALLY getting a 6"+ snowstorm! I think that most of what falls up this way is a result of the northern energy which may get some help from the lake. Basically boils down to where the bands set up etc before the flow goes wnw and the artic air arrives. This is a flake killing artic airmass and thus why i am not so hyped with the lake stuff despite the wnw flow down this way and northerly flow top side of the lake. Probably one of those sporadic 1-3 inch type deals away from the lake to Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
