January 24th-26th potential winter storm part 2

WOW.. You SLACKER. How could you forget the king of all snow storms in Detroit!! :P

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.

I agree. 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.. :popcorn:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

i guess its not out of the question then?

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

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 :axe:

Yea. 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.
