I was going post yesterday, but forgot to do it, that I haven't heard a peep out of Will or bo lately. I figured that GFS clown would get a rise out of them.

Agree. The winds will be howling and even though it's cement, there will be some reduced visibilities, some drifting, and a possible flash freeze. I would like to see NWS offices do more of this, rather than worry so much about their verification scores.

Just catching up with this thread. I think Malacka11has an affinity for an unhealthy relationship with the ICON. He seems enjoy whatever she dishes out. lol

Although I don't check the board as much, I still hang here in the summer for severe and sometimes just to shoot the breeze

I'm assuming that would portend more moisture than with a typical clipper track and hence more flake stacking. If that's the case, count me in, even if I have freeze my reasoner to get the snow.

^ I thought that this thread was supposed to be for these short-fused/minor systems (although the debate over which system is going to be minor vs. major is now in effect.) I am actually okay with all of the clippers having their own threads.

I'm a big fan of weather extremes, so I don't mind a few days of anomalous cold, but I just did a quick scroll through the GFS and I am no fan of the length of the arctic air hanging over the Lakes region. I mean come on, two solid weeks of the surface temps not getting over 20°? I really got depressed when I saw that the Euro is in agreement. And hard telling how long past the end of their runs? This is going to be the type of weather that only Beavis can love.

Up to 8.1" with snow showers still occurring. Might be able to add a few more tenths.

IWX's ears perked up on with this morning's discussion: GROWING CONCERN AS EC/GFS TRACKING HOOK LOW OUT OF SOUTHEAST COLORADO FRIDAY TO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES SUNDAY. NBM APPEARS WOEFULLY UNDERDONE WITH RESPECT TO POPS AND IN COLLABORATION WITH SOME SURROUNDING OFFICES HAVE GONE 30/35/35 BLEND OF NBM/GFS/EC RESPECTIVELY. SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER TOO IN WAKE OF SYSTEM AS UPPER LOW CUTOFF DEEPENS OVER GREAT LAKES. THIS SYSTEM BEARS WATCH OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WITHIN ENVELOPE OF POTENTIAL OUTCOMES.

This seems like a crazy low snowfall record for Jan. 30th, even at IND: RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 150 AM EST SUN JAN 31 2021 ...RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM SNOWFALL SET AT INDIANAPOLIS IN... A RECORD SNOWFALL OF 3.6 INCHES WAS SET FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS AREA YESTERDAY, SATURDAY JANUARY 30, 2021. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 3.4 INCHES SET IN 1901.

Solid SN here now. Visibility around 1/8th of a mile. If it rips like this for awhile, I could see a dd snowfall.

Tough to measure, but 6.9" down and still snowing as of 7 AM (EST) on 0.61" liquid for an 11:1

Saturday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 28. East wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible. Sunday Snow. High near 35. East wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.

My first post in this storm thread, as the FWA area has been in the models sights for a significant snow for several days and I didn't want to jinx it. Being within 36 hours of onset, I'm feeling safer now. With FWA sitting at 5.0" for the winter (6.3" imby), we are overdue. In fact, the last 6" snow at FWA was on 12/11/2016 (6.3".) So even with climo only giving us a six incher once every other year, we are way overdue. I'm considering staying up all night on Saturday for a nice Jeb walk.

I know here that here at least, they schedule people in the high-risk classes based on the time frame that the site is open. However, the vials usually contain a little more than the number of doses that is supposed to be in them. By combining residual vaccine, they can squeeze out several more doses. So rather than waste it, they grab anyone they can to come in at the end of the day to get vaccinated. In our case, they have complied a list of city, county, school employees, and other "essential" residents to call when they determine how many doses they are going to have left at the end of the day.

As a first responder, I got my first Moderna shot today. I'm very happy.

5.8" here for the season. Only 4 days with an inch or more of snow cover, 3 in December and 1 so far in January. The deepest snow depth: 2" that only lasted for a few hours. It's just amazing the difference between here and points north and west. Many places haven't had much more snow than Northeast IN, but have held their snow cover an almost ridiculous amount of time.

Yet another virga storm ongoing in NE Indiana. If virga counted as snow, we'd be well over two feet for the winter. Top down saturation FTL

I never put 2 and 2 together, but you're probably right. As far as the Bam guys and their ilk, I've coined the phrase Social Mediaologists.

Very soon the issue will be the logistics of getting shots in the arm and not availability of vaccine.

I work in emergency management/Homeland Security. I got hooked on weather as a seven-year-old when my dad took me out the day after the Palm Sunday outbreak and we followed the path of the F-4 that passed through a few miles north of our house. I got into emergency management as a result of my love of weather. I like storm spotting and doing the occasional chase.

Whoa! Just tried to get caught up here and thought I'd accidentally clicked on one of the EC subforums. My only observations for the FWA area is to prepare for a kitchen sink storm. Now back to your regular scheduled model watching.

I just received an e-mail from IWX stating that NWSChat will be down for planned maintenance on Monday from 10 AM - 1 PM EST. They couldn't have timed it more perfectly.

As we discussed last night, I don't think the IWX forecaster was off base when he discussed marginal temps, at least for FWA. I am seriously rooting for a Euro score for all of the posters in Iowa, No IL/ORD (including hoosier) and Detroit. I will enjoy my cold rain/ice/flakes. All of us Indiana posters south of US 30 will have to depend on the trailing wave to deliver.

Okay, I understand what you're saying. However, ORD is in a better position than FWA. It still looks marginal to me for mby, at least until the last wave rolls through mid-late next week.
