Officially Chicago (And half of the metro) has not had an 8"+ storm, let alone a 6"+ storm this winter.

Didnt ord and the city report atleast 8 with this event? 6 at the least.

Man what could've been with the front end foot, then another foot from the main show. Dtw found a way to miss out on both. Gonna sting for awhile. Msp seen an 8+ storm, chicago, cleveland, buffalo, des moines, fort wayne, east coast, mid atlantic, nashville. Dtw all left on its own.

Buffalo is on fire this winter, synoptic snow wise!

I used to have the stat but don't anymore.  I'm guessing probably close to 25.  That is 12" storms, so includes events that occurred over more than one day.

Well i think cantores stat includes events that took more than one day too. I think that stat proves chicago out big dogs us easily.

Finished with a storm total of 6.5” here at home.


.

Since 1880, how many foot snowstorms has chicago received? Curious to see how it stacks up to cantores detroit stats.

Michigan: where exciting weather goes to die.

U aint lyin brutha. Current cloudy at my house. Not home but id guess only a couple inches has fallen if that based on porch cam. Looks like dry air eating away at the precip on the NE flank. Real bummer considering what could've been. Definitly ready for summer.

When was the last time a storm "wrapped around" the 3 county metro area? It's clearly not going to be an epic storm but as nwohio has been posting...it seems many don't even follow timelines. 

 

I'm pissed that the old snow caused pudding on the frozen ground and also that we won't be getting epic accumulation, but it still should be a solid storm by tmrw. And looks like it'll be very scenic.

It felt so warm it was crazy. Funny how your body does that.  Now tonight with the moisture increasing it feels damp. Just a funny feel after it's been so dry cold for so long.  Snow cover now ranges from grass to 2" and where there are grass patches the ground remains rock hard.  Guess it's all part of the ingredients that make this storm come together.

It seems that's a common theme with snowstorms in our area. It warms up A-day or 2 before the snowstorm and unfortunately we start over at 0 by the time the snow starts again.

 We probably won't have much left ahead of the storm if it stays mild like this all night, but it really is a moot point.

 I just got off the phone with my mom she said it was Sunny and almost 50ﾟthere today. Had to feel like 70 with the cold y'all have had this winter.

Precip is def further north into mich on the 0z nam.

Dorsn't look like much changed on the 18z GFS with 

That hose of moisture looks on a b-line for dtw. Definitly not a setup you see often. Heres to hopin for a nw trend with the main show too.

Damn radar still down too. Its sucks anyways i suppose.

18z rgem def namish, may actually be more nw with the main wave. 15" metro detroit kuchera.

Better luck this time around on a last minute nw trend with the main energy.

Ah, I see.

I would be flying out of DFW (can choose either American or Delta), so it wouldn't be a problem for me.

U got an hour or so to make a decision lol.

There's still the red eye, if things suddenly trend to the unlikely. 

75k skymiles to catch the 6pm out of rsw lol. For a comparison, it was only 4k to fly home a few weeks ago for family stuff. I think im gonna pass and trust that it'll be another storm disappointment.

Edit 112k now.

Guidance really making Matty sweat about not flying home 

Same with me and powerball lolol.

Well anything is possible, but how likely was it really for a 125-year storm to occur, especially with a synoptic mess of a system? Plus, since we've all been tracking weather, how often have we seen storms unravel (slowly or rapidly) before their onset?

Well the two part of it made up the the messy low pressure main show. Either way its a bummer for us and areas to our sw that looked prime for 20+. Thats been the trend recently, weaker/se.

FYP

So you're saying you werent buying to 30+ kuchera amounts the gfs was spittin out like 48 hrs ago?

 Thanks. I will say this about DTX warning, they still talk about Thursday. Which is really looking more like a graze job of light snow.  This is all gonna be about tomorrow and it's gonna come down to the ratios. Pretty solid model agreement, give or take some noise, on about 1.20" qpf with about an inch falling as snow.  Temperatures will be steadily dropping as the storm progresses.

Yea as always will depend where the banding sets up. Rgem looks to have them nearly stationary over the area for 20+ hours.

My gut is telling me someone still may get a foot plus. Im still tempted to hop on a plane tonight lol. Havent seen 6+ storm in person in over 3 yrs as i havent been home in the winter and nothing has been worth traveling for.

Just now, michsnowfreak said:

DTX upgraded to warning for 11-15". 

The 12z rgem animated simluation does look pretty sexy with the first round for metro detroit. Good luck and enjoy it up there.

12z Euro with a bump SE, with both the overrunning portion and the main storm system.

Getting dryer/less snow with each run in the heaviest bands in illinois and indiana too.

12Z RGEM is better for DTW and Myself here at XHA.

 

10-16 inches verbatim @ 12:1 or more

Man what couldve been if the second part/main wave could amplify a bit and come nw, it could've been a historic storm for dtw. Maybe it still can, who knows.
