Chitown Storm Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 things really getting interesting in a hurry! Remind me again.....did LOT have snow on the ground before the GHD storm? Trying to remember if I ever had 2' of snow on the ground at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 I like what LOT did with the WSW. They call for 6-10" with the frontal snow today and this evening...But have the WSW in effect until 6PM tomorrow. That leaves the door open for tomorrow.

Geos Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Snow starting to dust the ground here. Dendrites are pretty well formed. Entire 14z run. GGEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 12z NMM going crazy...which is its forte...but it's gonna throw up 15"+ totals in parts of central IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 something's gotta give... differences via the 15Z RAP vs 12Z GFS @ 00Z 05JAN... 15Z RAP... 12Z GFS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 My first call: 2" for YYZ, maybe some rain thrown into the mix, then a flash freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm going to ride this one out in Allegan tomorrow. Looks like LES is in the cards there. Yep! We will get LES in this area too, but Allegan does best with NW flow. You should probably get traveling today though, if you can. Yes. Does it not show in my post location? Good luck to you too Harry! Hoping this mornings model projections hold serve. If so you will be 100% on the money with that call. Good Luck Blackrock! We've been waiting for this one Thanks, bud! You too! You have quite a bit of snow on the ground too, don't you? I have well over a foot right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Grid has 1-3" today, 3-7" for tonight and around 1" tomorrow...So they're still not onboard with the main system yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Global_Warmer Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 something's gotta give... differences via the 15Z RAP vs 12Z GFS @ 00Z 05JAN... 12Z GFS... gfs_namer_012_500_vort_ht_l.gif RAP will level out some. Probably reach a compromise between the GFS and NAM. Without a classic closed H5 low this can only amplify so much. Secondly the last few adjustments on the RAP have been to dig more.

Gilbertfly Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 RAP will level out some. Probably reach a compromise between the GFS and NAM. yeah the 15z RAP vs the 12Z GFS feature the most extreme differences...middle ground is safest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I hope it is ok to post links to Earl Barkers maps? Southwest Michigan folks, both the NAM and GFS both agree to over a foot of snow for us. Pretty psyched! http://wxcaster.com/gis-snow-overlays.php3?STATIONID=GRR http://wxcaster.com/gis-gfs-snow-overlays.php3?STATIONID=GRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, bud! You too! You have quite a bit of snow on the ground too, don't you? I have well over a foot right now. About 6" OTG. Not bad for my locale. Surely beats starting with bare ground for a nice event like this. Time will tell if it becomes truly epic around SWMI. Has the potential to though. Fun times, eh?
