It appears the models are trying to converge on a general consensus for a I-80 "mini" special to kick start the Holiday storm tracking season.

jaster220 Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 It is follow the bouncing models time as they waffle N & S. DTX over-night leaned a little more committed towards a snowy outcome (like Niko's Accu-map) At this time, medium range model consensus suggests a track either over southern portions of the forecast area or perhaps a bit further south into the northern Ohio Valley region will be favored. With the advent of colder air with the Canadian high pressure, snow will be more common with this system, especially if it tracks far enough north to bring deformation banding to parts of the area. If this occurs, accumulations will be possible. This will be the time frame that much of the upcoming forecast will focus on this week. 1 Quote Winter 2022-23 Snow Total = 27.5" Largest Storm: 7.5" (1/25) Oct: 0.0 Nov: 1.5 Dec: 5.2 Jan: 11.1 Feb: 2.0 Mar: 8.2 Apr: 0.0 Annual avg for mby = 45.0" (KDTW): 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...

tStacsh Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 GRR favors the Euro currently. THE GFS IS WARMER AND WOULD HAVE THE SNOW UP IN CENTRAL LOWER AND POINTS TO THE NORTH OF THERE. THE ECWMF IS COLDER AND FURTHER SOUTH WITH SNOW IN THE I-96 AND I-94 CORRIDORS. A BIT TOO EARLY TO NAIL THIS DOWN, BUT I WOULD LEAN TO THE FURTHER SOUTH LOOK IN THE ECMWF AT THIS POINT GIVEN A ZONAL FLOW WHICH WOULD TEND TO NOT EXPAND THE PRECIP AND WARM AIR FURTHER NORTH AS MUCH. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 13 minutes ago, Niko said: Looks like they are going w/ the Euro. Yep, and if GRR is too, that says a lot. DTX says "it's all about that Canadian HP" A big determining factor of how this plays out is an area of high pressure drifting across southern Ontario and the northern Great Lakes through this time. A stronger high building in faster and farther south will keep the mid and surface lows farther south which will introduce more cold air via northeasterly flow undercutting the warm moist air which all results in snow chances with deformation banding. A slower or weaker high could allow the low to drift farther north keeping warmer temps closer to the low center over the region resulting in more rain. The ECMWF has held firm with a more southern track for the lows, whereas the GFS has been the more northerly solution. You kinda see that in the way the snow swatch arcs SE as it heads through here.

jaster220 Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Interesting CPC comments on today's developments: The toughest hazard to nail down east of the Rockies is snow. There is a clear non-GFS camp when it comes to wintry weather in the Midwest, with the ECMWF/CMC showing a swath of heavy snow north of the expected storm track. More recent runs of the GFS have come closer to the ECMWF/CMC camp, so it is possible heavy snow becomes the primary hazard within the Midwest heavy precipitation threat area. 1 1 Quote Winter 2022-23 Snow Total = 27.5" Largest Storm: 7.5" (1/25) Oct: 0.0 Nov: 1.5 Dec: 5.2 Jan: 11.1 Feb: 2.0 Mar: 8.2 Apr: 0.0 Annual avg for mby = 45.0" (KDTW): 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...

gabel23 Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Seems like the models are starting to come to an agreement in terms of track. Thermo's is gonna be the battle. Northern Nebraska, South Dakota, and Northern Iowa sitting in a good spot for moderate snow. Ice/rain will fall south of there. I would gladly take any form of precip. Dry air to the south will also be a problem. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1976 Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 CMC slightly north of 12z. This might be a Minnesota special yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzcoat Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 1 hour ago, Hawkeye said: It's about punt time for this one for central/southern Iowa. Yep. Thread should be titled "I-90" instead of I-80. Trend is N and I don't see it stopping either. Probably going to go visit my mother in the Twin Cities before the event early Thursday and do snow removal for her. If you can't beat them- join them!!! 3 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Grizzcoat Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 06Z NAM and RDPS give Twin Cities accumulating snowfall. NWS DMX just went all in on COLD rain in C.IA to 100% Thursday night. Good time to get out of dodge. 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Grizzcoat Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 MPX notices the big trend N-- - Thursday night/Friday storm system is trending north. Headline-worthy accumulating snow is now likely across southern MN. Attention then turns to the system for late week. There has been a rather significant shift northward since yesterday and that is mainly driven by a more amplified ridge across the southeastern U.S. With the mid level wave now tracking across central IA as opposed to MO-IL-IN, the shield of precipitation has advanced deeper into MN and WI and PoP/QPF have begun to increase. There has been little consistency with this system for the past 48 hours or so, aside from most ensemble members shifting farther north and west in unison and the spread beginning to cluster better. Since we are now about 72 hours out from this potential system, better consistency trends and confidence should increase markedly later today or tonight. This progressive, but potent system should have a swath of heavy precipitation on it`s northern half. 00Z EPS mean QPF is on the order of 0.5-0.6 inches where this precip shield tracks, including over southern MN, while the GEFS is heavier (0.75-1.0 inches) but remains the southernmost solution with the band across the southern half of IA. Forecast profiles indicate a mild boundary layer that could be capable of a cornucopia of precip types and only a degree or two will make a big difference. This system has quickly become the biggest headache in the forecast with lots of uncertainty and a potential higher impact event. 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

I gave up on this 2 days ago. Im just just gonna give up on any pre xmas snow in my area any longer. Between recurring drought for 13 straight summers and maybe only 3 or 5 weeks of real winter each year Im about to throw in the towel on this business! Which is totally absurd, since we have almost 60 commercial snow accounts and 200 lawn accounts. Too much down time all year in this place!!!!! The past 4 years we have had maybe 3 plowable snows in December and march. How pathetic is that! Id do better in North Carolina or Arkansas! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
