I sure hope I do. I really had January as my big month here but I also didn't expect this month to open so cold and then just get colder.

Tom Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Man, we think too much alike. Guess which site I was just on. Lol. I sure hope I do. I really had January as my big month here but I also didn't expect this month to open so cold and then just get colder. Lol.I used to fantasize seeing maps like these come into fruition. We all know to use them as guidance, but to see the modeling consistently show runs like these is not only fun to see, but it would be incredible to witness many "share the wealth" systems instead of it being centered in a micro region like the GL's in 2013-14 or New England in Jan/Feb '15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have posted this on the storm page but will also post this here as this is a wrap up of the the snow event on December 11th 2016 in southern lower Michigan. Now that the first big snow event of the winter of 2016/17 has come to an end it is now time to see how this event has compared to past December 11th events. In Grand Rapids the official snow fall amount came in at 8.9” The will put this event in 3rd place with 14.5” in 2000 in 1st place and 10.3” in 2nd place is the 10.3” that fell in 1970. So far this month GR has now received 23.6” of snow. This event is also in 3rd place over in Lansing where yesterday they recoded 7.4” with 14.5” in 2000 in first place and 8.9” in also in 1970. At Lansing, the total this month is now at 12.8” At Muskegon the yesterday official snow fall came at 7.6” this is also in 3 place for the date with 10.8” in 2000 in 1st place and 9” in 1962 in 2nd place. For the month, Muskegon is now at 12.8”.Over on the east side of the state Detroit set a new record for the date with 10.6” of snow their old record was only 5.5” in 2000. The monthly total at Detroit is now at 11.6” At Flint they officially reported 10.0” and that fell just short of their record of 10.8” in 2000. And for the month they are now at 13.0” At Saginaw they report there was 7.8” I have no record for the date there. For the month, Saginaw is now at 10.4” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 December 2000 is being thrown out there a lot around the GL's recently, esp if that big storm on the horizon comes into fruition. ORD record around 31" that year, which was a slow start through the first 10 days of the month, coincidentally, picked up in intensity on the 10th-11th of that year when 9.6" was recorded (interesting that ORD just had a snowstorm on those same dates in Dec). The month rolled on with plenty smaller scaled systems. Looking ahead, 12z NAM showing some snow for N IL/N IN/MI overnight as the arctic front moves through the region.

East Dubzz Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 NAM actually lays down a little snow tonight: Here is what the DVN has to say about that: We will spend some time on the cold and wind chill concerns heresoon, but wanted to address some shorter term concerns regarding aquick hitting snowfall potential late this evening and overnightthat may not have been given as much attention. Several weak lobesof energy will rotate east around the base of the very cold upperlow across central Canada. The first of these will come throughovernight. Forecast soundings indicate fairly steep lapse ratesaloft and very good lift right in the prime dendritic growth zonewith this wave. Hi-res guidance including the RAP/HRRR/SeveralHopWRF members and NAM all depict QPF with this wave, beginninglate this evening across north central Illinois, then spreadingeast after midnight across the remainder of the area. Cobb outputindicates 14-18:1 ratios with this dry snowfall, and while QPF isnot high, NAM QPF output for ORD of only 0.07 lays down a quickinch of snow. The RAP even shows over 0.1 inches of QPF across theWI border that could quickly put down 1-1.5 inches or so. Thefocus of guidance is I-88 north.For this morning update we are still awaiting collaboration withneighbors, but do feel that more than flurries is warranted.Fortunately for Tuesday morning commuters this looks to falllargely overnight and would not be a lot of snow given how fastthe wave will be, but could certainly be a nuisance to start theday in some areas with cold ground easily allowing snow to stick.Areas south should see less and maybe not a big deal.RAP and HRRR are currently taking in to S WI instead of across Northern Illinois.

I was slacking and only did 6 hrs, so my 9.1 total may have been a bit more??? IdkActually-- official snowfall measured by the NWS (or through a contractor which is what is at most major airports and official climo stations-- ie. ORD,MWK,MSP,OMA,DSM etc...) is measured every hour. This is how they get SNINCR remarks in the metars-- which means the snowfall has increased at least .4555" (round up to .5", which is rounded up to 1". .7" of snowfall in the last hour with 1" on the ground is coded SNINCR 1/1. 2.2" of snow in the last hour with 7" on the ground is coded - SNINCR 2/7. Even if SNINCR remark is not issued, the observer on duty is measuring every hour, clearing the snowboard (or part of it) and repeating every hour until the snow ends. Melting snow IS counted and is measured every hour just the same. I believe the 6 hr interval is for coop observers.

jaster220 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Actually-- official snowfall measured by the NWS (or through a contractor which is what is at most major airports and official climo stations-- ie. ORD,MWK,GRR,MSP,OMA,DSM etc...) is measured every hour. This is how they get SNINCR remarks in the metars-- which means the snowfall has increased at least .4555" (round up to .5", which is rounded up to 1". .7" of snowfall in the last hour with 1" on the ground is coded SNINCR 1/1. 2.2" of snow in the last hour with 7" on the ground is coded - SNINCR 2/7. Even if SNINCR remark is not issued, the observer on duty is measuring every hour, clearing the snowboard (or part of it) and repeating every hour until the snow ends. Melting snow IS counted and is measured every hour just the same. I believe the 6 hr interval is for coop observers. I think you're correct about those instructions being for COOP's now that I think about it. Nonetheless, more frequent the measurements, the more you will have for a total. But, the contractor that DTW has for the official measurements works a day job and isn't at the airport measuring location hourly. He was responsible for the new record 3 yrs ago for Detroit, so I am not sure your statement that every major airport has somebody out there hourly clearing a board is necessarily so. Ofc, for mby, I'm often at work all day while it's snowing and can only get a measurement 12 or more hours later so I am certain my totals are quite conservative, certainly not the other direction.

Grizzcoat Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Your correct on DTW not measuring snow (And GRR)-- a dozen or so major airports are deemed to not have sufficient measuring locations within a timely manner for the observer to get back to his post with ASOS.

Tom Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Regarding the MJO, could the Euro be caving to the GFS??? Starting to beeline towards Phase 7/8...GFS has had this all along over the last several days. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/MJO/CLIVAR/ECMF_phase_51m_small.gif http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/MJO/CLIVAR/NCPE_phase_21m_small.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKwx2k4 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 That means the AO and NAO should tank again pretty soon as well. No complaints from me about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was shown how the PV lobe swings through the N GL's then right back around, thus the AO going positive, but just as it passes by waving a hand, lol Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
