gimmesnow Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 To no surprise, this thing looks like it's starting to fall apart already. Latest GFS is not my friend. It has it going south, even completely missing Chicago. This is going to be a nail biter. But at least the extended is showing up with 50s next week, as long as that ice (well most of it) is gone I'm jumping on my stand up jet ski and enjoying the wonderful 40 degree water. I will be so happy if I get to snowboard this weekend, then the same week I'm out on the lake. Only in Wisconsin, baby! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud2380 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 GFS sped up a bit and shows the heaviest snow moving through E Iowa Friday evening and overnight, which would be ideal for snow accums. Still marginal temps though, so this is a real toss up on rain/snow. http://maps1.pivotalweather.com/maps/models/gfs/2018032012/102/snku_acc.us_mw.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmesnow Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 The euro snow maps are using a hard 10 to 1 ratio, not accounting for any melting, so they are best used for general intensity and placement of the snow and not specific amounts. The 00z euro is showing the heaviest snow moving through northeast Iowa right smack in the middle of the day, which would certainly limit totals. ecmwf_acc_snow_conus_144.png Thank you for that.

bud2380 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Canadian took a step towards the GFS and Euro. Also went bonkers with snow. This is straight 10:1 though, so not going to be accurate, but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in Wisconsin, baby!It is continually shearing it out as the other models do not so most likely there will be a bigger impact then what it is currently showing. Until the other models start to cave I cannot agree with the GFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I can't tell what is rain/snow here, but the UK is heaviest with precip in southern Iowa. It definitely had a further SW track than the other models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I can't tell what is rain/snow here, but the UK is heaviest with precip in southern Iowa. It definitely had a further SW track than the other models. The 12z UK took a big jump sw compared to the previous couple runs. It'll be interesting to see if the euro shifts sw a bit more and/or speeds up to join the other models' timing. I wish the UK people would add precip type to their data/maps. 1 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many more runs to go but the trend is at least wetter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 If the strength holds, this will be one sick looking storm on radar.... Yeah, this will have loads of moisture and a large precip shield. I forgot to mention that the 12z euro did also speed it up a bit, so the heaviest snow would fall here in the morning. Another nudge faster would help even more.

bud2380 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 March snow is the best. Because then you get the fun of watching it fall, but it's gone in a few days and usually warming up. I just want precip, if we get snow that would be very cool, if not at least give me some solid rain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Canadian and Euro are further SW than the NAM and GFS. Euro has the heavy band from Waterloo to Davenport.
