Winter 2022/23 Short/Medium Range Discussion
Harry replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Yep. Some years such as this one the lake has contributed I would guess around 35 inches to the 81 or so here. Like there 06-07 totals had alot to do with the lake. If you follow the average seasonal snowfall I figured out a few years back that for every mile you go west of here you gain a inch while losing a inch till you get near Jackson where it begins to level out a bit more. North burbs of Detroit gets a bit more vs where Josh is especially with west flow events. Those guys can explain that a bit better. -
I'm posting this comment in the banter thread, as I would suspect any convo regarding chasers (more personally) would be more applicable outside the main storm specific thread. That said, I wanted to make it abundantly clear that I was (and am) genuinely excited for Josh to have intercepted the eye and core of Dorian. Unlike some, I don't get jealous of others' chasing success. Why should they? It has no relevancy on their own chase abilities. My wholly scientically objective observation that the winds don't appear to have been any higher in Marsh Harbour than those I happened to observe on the western-most portion of Mexico Beach, shouldn't be taken as somehow an attempt at minimizing the effects on Marsh Harbour. The only relevancy to Josh in such evaluation is simply an objective review of the winds he documented on video. As stated multiple times already, I feel he captured genuine Cat 5 winds on video...which is a VERY rare occurrence. It makes zero difference that I happened to be the one who documented the highest winds in Michael or that Josh happened to be the one documenting Dorian in MH. The only relevancy between the two is that each intercept location experienced the greatest impact from the two storms, respectively. Thus, my own personal interest in knowing what the peak MSW might've been at each specific locality. Given Josh is typically in the core of a major landfalling hurricane at or near ground-zero, I can understand why some might misinterpret my objective analysis of the peak winds that most likely were encountered in that area, and falsely presume I have some stupid ulterior motive or "agenda". Nothing could be further from the truth! Even when some resorted to unjustified personal attacks when I respectfully argued that all the objective scientific data clearly suggested Patricia wasn't a Cat 5 at landfall, I didn't waver on my wholly objective opinion. Subsequently, the NHC agreed with my precise 130 kt estimate. Similar instances occurred in discussion of Michael's landfall intensity. Yet again, my best educated guess (based solely on the objective scientific data) was validated in the NHC TCR. Now, some are taking exception to my objective viewpoint that Marsh Harbour didn't get anywhere close to those one-minute 10 m estimated MSWs. Unlike with Michael, we have a lot less access to all the available data, whereby making a specific best educated estimate of the MSW encountered in MH is far more problematic. That's why I've asked if anyone knows of any additional data that may be available? Regardless, I'm confident that MH saw a MSW of at least 140 kt. I don't personally consider chasing a sport, much less a competition with other chasers. In sequence of events, my initial goal is to either get into the eye or the area of strongest winds from a documentation standpoint. Secondly, record the barometric pressure at that location. Currently in the process of obtaining an anemometer to accurately record wind measurements in future intercepts. Next, to assist with search and rescue following a devastating event...followed by documentation of the aftermath. Lastly, I always have (since Katrina in 2005) and always will devote at least one full day to assisting with the cleanup. This is one thing I wish all chasers would do, and feel we all should do, considering we intentionally place ourselves in these areas of greatest impact and often times benefit from doing so. Regardless of the other ways we help, I still think it's the least we can do...but that's just me. This post is long enough. But, I just simply wanted to share my personal viewpoints on the contents contained herein to help those who might misinterpret them. Thanks for taking the time to read it. Hope all have a great rest of the day!

Oh come on Josh...I know you will setting your alarm tonight for 1130 and 130. -
The mound in Josh's second picture barely looks like snow, dat water content

Josh got his lucky snow pile shovel magnet out and reeling this baby in.

If anyone over there had to worry it would be Josh but more so to the south. Kinda with Stebo on this.

Hi I would like to lock in the Euro and HRRR. I would die if that happened. At this point I have significant confidence that the NAMs are the toss here with everything else is pretty much nailing SEMI. Only areas I am worried about are downriver and Monroe that they could mix a bit. But Josh lives downriver and we know the snow gods wouldn't let that happen, so expect a small nudge SE .

Josh will find a way to turn this all against you.

Chicago Weather Records Tracking
Chicago Storm replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
It probably was a bit warmer downtown/near the lake, but there's a big difference between current day UHI and 1870-1900 UHI. And, as Harry and Josh pointed out, many of those winters were mild region-wide. -
We need that Josh magnet to start working!!!

No worries Rich, I heard that Josh's friends staged an intervention and all pitched in to rent a winch truck to unwad Josh's panties with.

@Carvers Gap might be right about 2013. I can’t remember exactly what year but it was definitely before the 2013/14 winter because thats when I bought my Jeep and I didn’t have it for this event. Anyway…. I remember we were kinda expecting a rain to snow but no one knew how much. It changed over around 12:30-1 PM and it snowed about 4-5” in 2 hours right over Knoxville. They let us go home at 3pm from work. Normally a 30min drive took me 3 1/2 hours. The roads in Knoxville was a compacted slop but pretty slick. When I got to Black Oak Ridge between Ft City and Halls, the slop had frozen and even 4x4’s where struggling. This other event didn’t really do much in the valley but I remember another ULL got the mountains, NC and SC pretty good. The reason I remember it is because it hit in later October, first of November when Tennessee was playing at South Carolina. Josh Dobbs was a sophomore I believe. The mountains did really well but even Columbia SC picked up 3-5” that Saturday. @Carvers Gap probably remembers the year. . -
The event of the season - 2 days of hell!

Hoosier replied to Baum's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Wonder if Michigan may be able to do slightly better with ratios. Progged to be just a touch cooler in most of that state with the exception of the southeast corner. So Josh may struggle a bit more with ratios than the areas nw of there. -
Romo is even worse. He will call Josh Allen Mr. January, an Alien.. lol.

Josh still lurks so Hey Josh what’s with the grey hair and greying beard?? I remember when you were Too Young to grow facial hair!!!

Just to jump off topic here, briefly, Josh was never in a reporting capacity for TWC. They reached out to him while he was on his regular chase schedule for several hurricanes. The WN gig was their decision to contract him for work and he took it. Fred was not a normal chase. Additionally, Josh now lives on the Gulf coast during hurricane season for this very reason. He has a particularly great skill set that can be advantageous for any particular network coverage. That being said, if there is an intense hurricane landfall, he's going to be in chase mode, not coverage mode. At any rate, no need to berate the man for getting paid. Speaking of...

Welcome back Josh. May the summer bring you wound up tightly cored cyclones and many an intercept opportunity.
