snowstormcanuck Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 No, I just saw the NARR for that one. I'll take a wetter 2/22/2010 or 12/19/2008 please. IIRC, there was a gradient across the Detroit metro area. Northern suburbs did well, but the city itself and south was mostly mixed precip. Although, I noticed Windsor picked up 8" of snow/sleet so maybe it wasn't as bad for you guys as I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amounts were 10"+ (with some sleet) from personal recollection 2 miles north of Detroit...DTW had 6" of snow/sleet and FRZR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Looking good, but the one negative I see is the timing. It is bringing the precip into eastern Iowa during the afternoon hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kab2791 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 lol, I remember what you said about you leaving for spring break would be the day ORD would get a snowstorm. Heavy snow to 70-80F temps in a few hours. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Well we usually don't do well with lows that eject out of ok/Tex panhandle because of the amplification and NW trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 really amped run of the GFS...everything is stronger this run, a really nice looking closed off ULL centered over DBQ at 102hr with the 850mb low really intensifying between 96-102hr with the sfc low ending up further northwest as well in western IN.

cyclone77 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Looking good, but the one negative I see is the timing. It is bringing the precip into eastern Iowa during the afternoon hours. Yeah I remember back in the April '97 storm that we had heavy snow falling much of the day. The official total (around 10-11" IIRC) was almost twice what actually accumulated on the ground due to compaction/melting. Of course temps were marginal, and the snow was VERY wet too. At this point I'm way more concerned about the track than anything. We've seen several snow systems advertised around this time frame go on to vanish into non-events for this area over the last 7+ weeks. I guess we'll see how it goes.

snowstormcanuck Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Well we usually don't do well with lows that eject out of ok/Tex panhandle because of the amplification and NW trends. climo suggests NW trend is legit, although I thought the confluence downstream was a bit stronger this run. We'll have to see how those two features interact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab2791 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I wouldn't worry about that too much, considering how nicely the GFS amped up. If it was tamer, it'd be a nice hit here too like the 18Z GFS for example....but I'm liking the set-up overall. Well we usually don't do well with lows that eject out of ok/Tex panhandle because of the amplification and NW trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 DPA gets 1.07" liquid this run, all snow and 850mb temps dont warm above -4 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I am obviously LOVING this run...wish it could stay like that until it actually comes. All these possible storms are making it difficult for me to focus on my two graduate level classes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Well seeing as this is the most amped up run of the most amped up model for this storm, I'm loving our position right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does look like the mid level temps will be seasonally cold, which could bode well for accumulations. It's just a bit hard for me to get too excited about things though given the horrible job by the models lately. Just a few days ago the GEM was forecasting several inches of snow for us for earlier today. It was completely sunny all day today LMFAO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
