    Seems like that's been progged pretty well and is apparently part of the pattern change mid-January that everyone is banking on.
  2. Frog Town
    Appreciate you. Thanks!

    Does NW Ohio live in a radar gap or does the system truly depend that much on lake enhancement that the returns weaken that dramatically in our area? Seeking the expertise of an actual met. I mean, it's still snowing, but has nowhere near the returns it had 10 miles before entering NW Ohio.. Thanks!!

    Exactly!

    AKA the Irish Hills, yes. I believe it affects our storms in the Summer and snow in the Winter. More anecdotal, but other Mets have commented on it.

    Where I sit in Sylvania, I believe we’re affected by subtle orographic descent off the glacial ridge to our northwest. I’ve seen it too many times to ignore—it often produces a noticeable drying effect, especially when systems approach from the NW.

    Just need to keep that -NAO in check so we don't end of CAD...In this pattern, a weaker -NAO(with all other things being equal) is a what we want. I know the east coasters hate this but what's good for them is not necessarily good for us. -NAO is good for us when it comes to maintaining a winter like pattern locally, but ideally after we have a deep snow pack.

    .5" here in Toledo metro so heavy stuff must of went just south of here.

    I think there’s some wisdom in this. Kids growing up in today’s climate will, 20+ years from now, look back with snowy nostalgia on winters that followed this general pattern across much of the region. We bring this up often, and this is a good example of how fickle our memories can be when it comes to how things actually unfolded in the past.

    If there's a place that's prepared for this last minute, it's your neck of the woods. Congrats!

    This couldn't be more true. Southern 1/3 of DTX is in the rip-off zone between cutters and Miller b's.. May be why I get high anxiety is storms even when we have a Winter Storm Warning and 6+ forecasted. Seem it bust too many times.

    Finally starting to get a mean trough position that is favorable for storms that are not just NW flow dusters and cold. Still a couple weeks out but a good sign for us in the lakes points west.. Changes appear to already be taKING place in the pacific.

    It will always be like this with the mean trough axis over us or to our east, which is pretty much where it's been the last two winters. Light dusters galore but when the big ones come, we warm up. Need the mean trough 500 miles to our west which is when we cash in with the big dogs. But of course, we always run the risk of Miller B's giving the goods to the EC. Climate..

    Watches likely to be issued for southern mi this afternoon. Even though it's for ice, still makes it feel more festive with a potential winter-type storm looming. Better than what it looked like a week ago when they were talking about mid 60's.

    Take away...when you buy a snowblower, it doesn't snow and when you get rid of it, it does.

    Here’s the issue. It’s like having a warm early May, then a cooldown leading up to the June solstice, and declaring that summer is over and not coming. Playing devil’s advocate, though—winter is cumulative and depends on a cold source and upstream snowpack. Summer doesn’t necessarily rely on those same factors to still turn out hot, even if there’s an early “snowball” effect to cool things down prior to the solstice.
  17. Frog Town
    Reality, but still a total buzz kill.

    Yesterday we have a negative trough axis modeled for this weekends storm. Today not so much...need that to change or thing dusts south of us and weakens out to sea.
  19. Frog Town
    Gunna suck pretty bad for all of our inner child hopes for a classic white Christmas hopes. Praying things turn around Christmas week.
  20. Frog Town
    Wouldn't mind a little warm up if it means recentering the mean trough west of here so we can get some big dogs. Mid December 2013 warmed up prior to the epic period that followed. This pattern is cool in like January or February to maintain..
  21. Frog Town
    Guidance continuing the trend south...at the very least we'll have less melting.
  22. Frog Town
    It appears with the TPV sitting in southern Canada, these things ultimately trend south.
  23. Frog Town
    I understand it's the CFS on tropical tidbits, but this is the 1st time it's shown below normal anomalies every week for the next 6. Doesn't appear like this cold is going anywhere soon. Just need the cold centered west of us if we want anything significant. Need the NAO to go slightly negative if you're looking for anything like '13-'14, otherwise it's a repeat of last year but with the snow centered ~3 hundred miles north and about a month earlier..
  24. Frog Town
    Until we get the mean trough to set up just up just to our west, we will have a repeat of last year....CAD with dusters here and there, always on the verge of a warm up. Hope that thing can dump just to our west but we need the PNA to cooperate.

    The ENS have corrected cold too many times this fall and early winter for me to believe this. Two weeks ago, they had it torching around here. WE shall see I guess...
