    If any CWA is in the toughest spot right now headline-wise, I'd definitely say it's DTX. Hypothetically, even if snowfall amounts for Metro Detroit were a more conservative 2-4" (instead of taking the current model output verbatim), snowfall rates could conceivably exceed 1" per hour and this would be happening right at rush hour with likely 20-30 MPH wind gusts.

    Might have to watch that part of the line along I-20 / I-30 headed towards downtown. Looking pretty beefy on radar.

    Seems Broyles might have gotten this one right. Pretty impressive MULIs (over -10) and Mid-Level Lapse Rates (over 8 C/KM) right now.

    Got a line ripping right over the Metroplex. Not severe thus far, but frequent lightning and loud cracks of thunder.

    Believe it or not, GHD #1. It was consistently the furthest NW / deepest / warmest the entire time and ended up being spot on.

    Well, there was February 2010...

    A part of me wants Detroit to see a winter of relative futility, just to see how @michsnowfreak would react. I know if all else fails, February seems to always come through to save the day. That said, January so far isn't looking as hot as the broader pattern originally suggested for snow prospects in/around the Motor City (it's looking cold but dry)...

    Amen to that!

    February 2-3, 2022 Winter Storm here in Dallas... BTW, if the former Lafayette, IN members (Hoosier & ChicagoWX) were still actively posting, they could also attest to experiencing pingers for roughly the same length of time during GHD 2011. All of their old posts about the event are still easily searchable. Point being, after experiencing such an event, I'm fairly numb to relatively intermittent pingers now. It can be so much worse.

    Oh boy... I was just teasing you, my friend. BTW, "Oh, My Sweet Summer Child" is an internet meme from The Game of Thrones, again meant to be a joke. I will be more careful next time I respond...

    ^^^Another Palm Dude sock?

    Oh my Sweet Summer Child... Until you've had to suffer through the torture that is 10 straight hours of non-stop pinging on your windows, I feel no sympathy...

    Hi Palm Dude...

    His trolling was funny at first, but after while his schtick started to get old.

    That's the joy of WFH. You and you alone comprise of the "workplace."

    The elusive triple phaser has resurfaced...

    But even during the event, I remember the models were still spitting out crazy amounts like a widespread 15-20". Probably the rare instance where a storm didn't trend drier before the onset.

    That's the one where, had it been like a half degree colder throughout the column, Detroit would have been buried in well over a foot of concrete. In fact, before the mixing issues eventually happened (as dynamic cooling was doing its thing for a good minute), I recall DTX was strongly considering a Blizzard Warning.

    lol at the 12z GGEM. Ain't gonna happen...

    One reason to be cautiously optimistic about this system delivering a high-end event is that, unlike the past several seasons, we finally have an active STJ with the borderline strong El Nino, which should help to keep the southern stream wave from shearing apart.
  21. Powerball
    lol.

    That EURO Control run is disgusting...

    Ooof!!! I just realized this December is possibly on track for a top 5 warmest at DFW (even though it hasn't felt like it in the past week). I've really lost my tolerance for non-Summer temps, lol...
  24. Powerball
    I know. I'm mostly teasing. In the process of moving, so I'm actually liking the dry/sunny weather we've had down here (even though it's been too cold for my liking). If the broader pattern can stay the way it has been through at least the end of next weekend, I'll be a happy camper.

    It's pretty desperate times when grapsing at a *potential* system 10+ days out...
