snowstormcanuck Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Temps in 30s, sub freezing dewpoints and overcast really limited the melting today. I didn't measure but from eyeballing it doesn't look like we lost much at all. Maybe an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Crap... I totally forgot 2 things... 1. I saw a dude on a motorcycle drive through Riverside (first one this year) 2. A dude out by the mall had JUST shorts on, no shirt (stud).... he was running right along the highway... People are nuts! Snowmobile? Jet ski!

Thundersnow12 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Quite a low level inversion here. 1ft above the snowpack it's 33F while it's 43F about 6-7 feet above the snowpack. Thats awesome lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 High reflectivities showing up around Gaylord. I'm guessing it's brightbanding, but it's being caused by a sort of cold front, which normally wouldn't produce a thermal profile supportive of sleet.

You stand the best chance by far of any of us not in northern WI or MN to have full snow cover yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only advantage I have is that I get backdoored by an arctic front for tomorrow and Tuesday which should limit additional snow melting to Wed-Thu-Fri. But the advantage you have is that because of that blizzard you're probably still knee deep. I'm only at 10-11". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Even though we still have about 10" of snow on the ground, you can already see a HUGE difference in the snow pack compared to right after the blizzard. First is a pic right after the blizzard. The second is a pic just snapped a short while ago. The large drift in front of the neighbors garage has really collapsed.

But the advantage you have is that because of that blizzard you're probably still knee deep. I'm only at 10-11". not sure what the depth is here as a lot of my snow is contaminated with snow blower snow too.. That's why I wanted to go out back and get some measurements but I didn't feel like climbing the big plow mounds to get back there. I doubt we have much more than a foot left after today. some spots will be higher im sure and some lower. Out my front door in the wind tunnel its down to grass in a small area... That poor area never stands a chance with a NE wind that howls in most storms and it gets raped in a torch facing SW. Across the road it looks like they have dam near 2' left... I think you can come out of this with snow left yet.. doesn't look like you get into the real warm stuff that gets into me and southern MI. GL though bro.

BowMeHunter Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Fine with me. I'm thinking a March date. GFS has DewP getting up near 60 in central ill with that system after next weekend.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I second this. we should do an over/under of our first chase day this season. That's a tough question there. If we include the Plains/southern Midwest that only makes it even more difficult lol. For our immediate area I'd go with late March. That could bust really badly either way though depending on a number of factors. For instance, back in 2006 we had 3 great chase days in a row centered around March 11th.

Chicago Storm Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 GFS has DewP getting up near 60 in central ill with that system after next weekend.. Looks like moisture with that system is deeper given the long return flow that begins with this system. Taking a quick look, it does have potential...

I was living in Silvis IL at the time and watched the wall cloud and associated funnel clouds pass just to our west on the way north-northeast towards Cordova. I was only 13 at the time and was out in the neighborhood picking up hailstones with friends when we watched it pass by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 20-21st. Ok, after a quick analysis...it looks like the late week system in some aspects. Perhaps moisture return is a little better. There may be some potential and the system right on its heels (23rd) would probably have the best moisture of all but the latter would be more of an OV-southward threat on this run.

That extremely long tracked supercell (even that word doesn't do it justice) on 3/12/06 was something to see. Watching it bear down on SPI was one of the more memorable moments of that outbreak.
