Aleksey Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 On a bright side, we have back-to-back systems to track with next weeks system potentially being a huge one! Euro laid down 10" for me just on Wednesday. Need to get through this one first, but models have definitely been consistent for a couple days now on another big impact storm next week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't buy a hooker from the pan handle anymore. This will still end up being a good event too for GRR. We will lose out to our south, but still 3-5" is not bad at all!

Hate to waste a setup like this one but it is what it is and there indeed looks to be enough chances for some snows to keep it interesting to end the month.

We are so below average year to date it is ridiculous. Our last good accumulating snow was legit in November lol we have legit had under 5" total since the end of November haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least now we have cold lurking and you have a nice body of water to your west for some stat padding. GL this weekend. We can still hope to nudge the numbers up a bit but it looks par for the course that another system scoots by south and doesn't realize its potential out our way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am excited for the next 10 days, a ton of potential and that wednesday system next week looks like it has some serious legs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 For Grand Rapids, I would agree on the 3-5”... however I do believe they forget that there is more than just Grand Rapids they need to account for. Always seems that if it doesn’t interest Kent county as much as Jackson county, they act ho-hum about it. Been like this for years with certain forecasters. If WDM (Bill) was the forecaster for this storm he would go into much detail about it and where he thinks the best snowfall would be. Also, he would’ve most certainly issued a SWS at minimum to cover the potential for heavy snow. I-94 corridor is looking at 4-8” locally if the storm system holds true and trends continue - that is most certainly a significant snowfall and it should be noted. But again, I don’t know why I would expect any different. It’s only public life and property on the line haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that sucks is the bulk of this storm comes in the overnight hours, the heaviest at least. I wish it was during the day so I could enjoy it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 There are some incredibly large precipitation ranges between the CAMS across most of Iowa for a 36 hour precip forecast. I've seen ranges anywhere from a couple tenths to close to 3/4" of QPF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mississaugasnow Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Winter Storm watches up for portions of the GTA. Current forecast is 2-4" northern Suburbs, 4" Downtown, and where the winter storm watches are (west end of GTA to border) up to 10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more bump to the north will help a great deal. Some of the 12z Euro ensembles give more than 0.6” QPF (15 mm) to the GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the FGEN band does this area well on Saturday. Those tend to be undermodeled and then the far SE part of the area could still get swiped by the southern piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Well, I'm on the border of 3-5 and 5-7 per NWS for snow and a .10 to a glaze of ice. Other forecasts are different. Gonna be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Honestly I would have issued a watch for the southern 3 tiers of counties in MI, I don't know why GRR/DTX didn't. Worse case scenario you back into a WWA. I am always of the idea of using watches to outline potential and downgrading if needed. Upgrading mid event is never good in my opinion. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanDe680 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Storm is good, hopefully this pans out. I'm more interested in the LES. It's seldom that the west side of Lake MI receives a decent LE amount, and I hope this pans out even more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
