The_Global_Warmer Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 through 21 hours. Continuing to look better. The PV is noticeably further North and slightly West.The vort energy is sharper and stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Howell came in with 7 inches. LOL Howell dominates much of SE Michigan in the total snow department, but we suck at big dogs here. I think Lake Orion/Oxford Area disagrees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Closest I've come to blizzard conditions was December 19, 1995 in the northern Miami Valley in Ohio. Had about 16" with 40mph winds. Drifts were crazy. I experienced '78. I was 20 years old. Think whiskey and snowmobiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 1978 Blizzard is one of two storms (the other 1974) my dad continuously talks about at least once every winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 00z NAM's definitely taking a step back from the 18z run, at first glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 NAM to me looks a bit flatter at H5 by 48. I think it may trend weaker/east compared to 18z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokomoWX Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 1978 Blizzard is one of two storms (the other 1974) my dad continuously talks about at least once every winter. I experienced both of those. Sadly I didn't know just how special they were. I was just a kid in middle and high school at those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Since we're throwing analogs around, the current model progs kind of remind me of a poor man's pre-Christmas 2004. Shifted west a bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It's very close to getting Chicago involved. It doesn't, but it's far too early to throw in the towel. Plus...it's the NAM. EDIT: and it does some weird things after 60 that don't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Nobody was saying "it's just the NAM" with the 18Z run. Take it easy Pat. Nobody is trying to steal anyone's storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifted west a bit though. 1/14/1992 and 2/23/2003 also come to mind. But again, synoptically, this is really a poor man's bomb potential given the unimpressive southern stream wave.

The_Global_Warmer Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The nam sucks for everyone expect those who are on the far SE edge. So it's either we all get a run of the mill storm. Or some get a potentially epic event while others get hosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogieman Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I remember the Blizzard of '78 here in Flint. I remember there were snowdrifts 10' in spots and the snow was easily 2' deep in the lowest spots. I got up in the morning and the front room window was covered 2/3 of the way up. The entire east side of our house was drifted to almost the roofline. I remember people died in MI because of it. The only school open for miles and miles was St. Mary's Catholic. I remember another really bad winter storm when I was a kid, in I think it was 1967. My dad and i went outside to shovel at one point, it was after dark and all you could see was the streetlight. You couldn't hardly even see across the street. Out of nowhere, a blast of lightning hit something like a few houses away. My dad told me to drop the shovel and get in the house immediately! Neither of us had any clue thundersnow even existed and it scared the hell out of him. The snowflakes were the size of silver dollars and coming down like I've never seen since. We got over 20" and the whole city was pretty much shut down for two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
