    A lot has happened this month. Here are my loops of the previous couple of weeks. I didn't save quite as many 500mb maps, since the initial Nor'easter of the month actually wasn't that interesting at 500mb. https://great-lakes-salsite.web.app/Jan_1_17_2024_250mb_loop.html https://great-lakes-salsite.web.app/Jan_6_17_2024_surface_loop.html https://great-lakes-salsite.web.app/Jan_8_17_2024_500mb_loop.html

    The GFS has about 0.1" QPF by 18z or 1:00PM, but the NAM 12km/3km have less, like 0.01" to 0.03" QPF by that time, but the HRRR gets snowier by 18z. So I guess it's a bit of a battle of NAM vs everybody. It's been kind of a long time since I actually went down to the 0.01" values of QPF to actually care about something, because, you know, rain doesn't make a sheet of ice.

    Here's the newest NWS snow map, which is sort of non-continuous around Toledo. It's much higher than the approximately 1" that last night's models were saying.

    you guys were off the bottom end of the color-bar in January.

    impressive amount of snow in the south
  6. Chinook
    when -57 is a number that's not in Siberia

    Here is what I was talking about with the Portland area, intermountain area snow, up to and including RMNP

    This has been pretty historic in the sense that you don't see a lot of -40F to -50F in North America, outside of Alaska. Also some large snowfall values from Oregon (also freezing rain there) to Idaho, Utah, and Colorado (in addition to what we've been discussing here)

    Nashville area: snow picking up to light but steady values, considering this radar and 1.5 mile visibility

    This is one of the nastiest storms that I could think of stretching from Portland well into the Snake River Valley, neither of which commonly have heavy winter precipitation. You can see rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow on this map. Near zero degree temperatures east of the Cascades is uncommon, especially with these wind chills below zero with the 10mph-20mph winds.

    I wonder if updated versions of this data set will include realistic spotter reports of.. well, maybe, however much you think Kankakee got.

    The super band has shifted a little bit from earlier in the day-- the buoy offshore has wind gusts to 46mph, and Buffalo airport to 58mph (severe level)
  13. Chinook
    these are all gusts (knots)
  14. Chinook
    there may be a wind chill warning for -60
  15. Chinook
    so you say it missed part of Michigan? Like Flint?
  16. Chinook
    new snow
  17. Chinook
    individual snowflakes my area got 1-2" on the grass with very bad snow ratios, and also changed to rain and 40 degrees this evening

    SPC discussing N Michigan
  19. Chinook
    look at this crazy -37 to -40 degrees Celsius at 700mb over all of Alberta
  20. Chinook
    large view of the storm. By the way, I discovered that it was -51F at Edmonton this morning. You don't see that too much. I could probably go a few winters without seeing a -50 south of Alaska.
  21. Chinook
    blizzard condition
  22. Chinook
    I'm just outside of Perrysburg. It's like 1" with a terrible snow ratio. but hey, large flakes. could be some rain/drizzle upcoming shortly
  23. Chinook
    my place has had all snow
  24. Chinook
    For the Illinois people out there
  25. Chinook
