Chicago WX Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 WOW.. You SLACKER. How could you forget the king of all snow storms in Detroit!! Whoever would not be interested in that i really don't know what to say. I certainly would not pass it up granted it was early April. Oh hell no. I still find it remarkable that Detroit's biggest snowstorm on record occurred with that April storm. That's awesome. And yes something like that (or close to it) happening again, especially in April, would be fun. Of course I personally don't mind snow at any time of the year.

Snow anytime of the year is always a good thing. I would as well kill to see one of those big May events from the 1920s.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever would not be interested in that i really don't know what to say. I certainly would not pass it up granted it was early April. Oh hell no. Truth be told, thats why I put in their "since the mid-90s". Because honestly, we have seen a TON of good snowstorms past March 20th, way too many to list, so i figured Id list the ones close to the memory bank the last 15 years or so. The storm in 1886 from all accounts was amazing, the snowfall total seems too low based on newspaper articles. Puts most "hecs" to shame. Every year I bring it up on its anniversary, and will do the same this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 you forgot the April 24-26th 2005 That was an AMAZING storm for its time of year, seeing thick carpet of snow on the ground a few days before May. But there wasnt much snow on the roads HERE (you were probably a different story). All the storms I listed had all the impacts of a January-like storm.

SEMIweather Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 you forgot the April 24-26th 2005 That storm was amusing...14" IMBY (Lake Orion) and almost none of it accumulating on roads. Interesting storm to be sure...although I was only 13 at the time so I don't have the best memories of what it was like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmaxweather Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The 12z EURO again is close but no cigar! Lexington has .25 QPF but looks like slop. Man oh man if we can get a shift of about 50 miles we are in for a light event. I know I know I am holding out hope but life without hope there is no point in living life itself.

The_Global_Warmer Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ended up with about 1 inch or so from this one...it pretty much died on top of us...however it did hold together and about 2-3 hours of light snow with pockets of moderate and heavy fell. During the day with temps in the upper 20s to low 30s so only 1 inch, if it was at night maybe 2. now have 3 that is melting fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The models are starting to paint some snow over this region tomorrow night. Could this be the surprise snowstorm that I dream about. Doubtful but, there is slight hope for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful but, there is slight hope for me. Its doubtful, but Ill keep an eye on the radar. The best type of snowstorm is a surprise one, one you didn't expect. Been a few years since I can remember having one. We were forecasted less than an inch and got 6 that's been a while back though 4 years at least.

Doubtful but, there is slight hope for me. I was progged to get less than 1/2" today and ended up with 2.2". Surprises happen. In this winter of nickles and dimes, that was a good bust and nice surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It isn't out of the question for parts of central Ohio. The precip shield on models show it reaching southern OH then going east from there. If it goes north a bit more before goinf east we could get a little bit of snow from it. Its not completely out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilly84 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 So close that its sick now... Precisely why I said above it isn't out of the question. I wouldn't see a big storm, but maybe an inch or two if it comes north a bit more. I'm nowcasting this one. Models are in agreement now but we'll see I guess.

Basically within that error range now of 20-30 miles basically on the NAM. It could go either way but it is a nowcasting type of situation. I am not looking at a big storm but maybe a quick 1-2 possibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly84 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 i guess its not out of the question then? Depends on where you're located. But I think east central ohio/southern oh could get an inch or two if the models are off a little bit. Idk. Just have to watch the radar and see. Maybe salvage a little bit of this POS lol.

Madmaxweather Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Snow up to the river now and cuts east.... Stil 36hrs out so there is a shot we could see more minor adjustments westward and northward.

dilly84 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 What a waste of a storm..75 miles and we would be in the precip.. Eh as I said. We have an outside shot of maybe getting an inch or two. We are far enough east to at least have a slight chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Snow up to the river now and cuts east.... Stil 36hrs out so there is a shot we could see more minor adjustments westward and northward. This will be a booth review type of scenario....lol a little nw shift over the last 24 hrs now has most models bringing snowshowers to i-70. Trend is probably a little too little and a little too late. We would need a fairly decent shift north (relatively speaking) with the 5h closed low and we're inside 42 hrs. Best snows will fall just n and w of that low. big problem is that energy on the tail of this storm. Really f/\cks up the ability for the w ridge to pump up which would dig this deeper and pump the heights ahead. I said before the mean ridge is way west for an eastcoast low, but that energy coming out of the rockies is creating its own mini ridge obviously much further east which keeps this thing from making the turn north earlier. I'd almost rather see the snow stay well south of us. Nothing worse then being able to smell the snow as it passes 50miles south of you west to east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks, but Im interested in seeing the gem considering it was one of the further west models for a while EDIT: looked. Seems similar to the GFS where precip is concerned.
