jaster220 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 As @Clinton noted, sketchy set-up is the rule of thumb here. Since this was just posted, and no doubt outlines the scenario much better than DTX's afd would, I will share this from the ORD Met. (notice he mentions the cut-off scenario having to produce it's own cold as I alluded to earlier) Quote While it's a tenuous setup and the antecedent air mass isn't good, it has my attention since there's nothing else to track until possibly reshuffling the pattern later in the month. Aside from the late season like air mass, the synoptic pieces are good if things work out well: A juiced southern stream wave associated with the latest potent California AR event, deepening surface low tracking near the Ohio Valley into the eastern Lakes, and a 1030-1035 mb high pressure spreading in from the northern Plains. Not particularly optimistic yet for the Chicago metro since the improved GFS and ECMWF runs (vs 00z last night) still would put us too far northwest. But at least don't have to squint to see what we'd need, early enough negative tilt of the main wave and/or phasing or constructive interaction with an incoming northern stream wave, to get a swath of heavy wet snow farther northwest. Unfortunately it remains a thread the needle type setup due to the air mass and needing things to break right as described above. It does have a more classic synoptic setup than the closed low depiction of GFS runs Saturday and prior that would be heavily reliant on dynamic cooling (while the ECMWF runs had no cold air to speak of), so maybe a bit better chance of success. 2 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...
Niko Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just now, Clinton said: Models are wanting to deliver some snow for ya this coming weekend but ensembles are sketchy. True, in fact, I'll take ensemble #11 pls . The fact remains that this low looks like it will be tracking through the Ohio Valley and into the eastern Lakes. Also, a strong high pressure to the north should help as well. We will see what happens, but, its something to pay close attn, since no other storm will be happening to track. 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

The alternate part of this deal until then is going to produce the extremes reminiscent of last summer. Droughty regions in TX, western OK, KS and parts of NW Nebraska all look to continue the persistence trend until the compressed jet battering Cali into "once a generation" flooding submission connects later into the end of winter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Good morning! Yesterday was yet another cloudy mild snowless January day. The official H/L at Grand Rapids was 32/28 there was no rain/snow fall. No sunshine. There was a reported trace of snow on the ground at GRR but here in the NW side of town there is only left over snow piles. Overnight temperatures held steady around 29 to 30 and at the current time it is 29 here in my yard. For today the average H/L is now at 31/19 the record high of 57 was in 1939 and the record low of -12 was in 1977. The record snow fall of 8” was in 1930. At the current time Grand Rapids, Muskegon and Lansing are on possible track that could lead to one of the warmest, least snowy January’s on record. It is way too early to say that will happen but for it to happen it has to start somewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chescowxman Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 The sun should return today. We should stay dry and a few degrees above normal (what's new) for most of the week. Temps will rise well into the 40's with rain by Thursday night into Friday. Temps will fall to near normal for next weekend with dry weather. The record high for today is 68 degrees from 1930. Our record low is 1 below zero from 1970. Daily rain record is the 1.66" from 1964. Daily snow record is the 3.0" from that very cold January of 1977.

bud2380 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Been snowing all day at Mammoth Lakes. What a scene. I've been watching on and off on the web cam since about 9am. The snow has really picked up. And I assume when the sun goes down, temps will drop a few degrees and accumulations will pickup even more. The web cams at the summit are impossible to see out of. Too bad. What a fun day for the skiers and snowboarders there. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main Lodge is closed for the remainder of the day. Expect heavy snowfall and blizzard conditions through late Tuesday night. I was surprised they didn't shut down entirely, but I've seen some snowboarders in particularly on the web cam. From what I can tell it's probably a wet snow. Temps looked to be in the low to maybe even mid 30s. 33 is the current temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud2380 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 33 must be in the Village area, which is 8100', the main lodge which is higher in elevation is showing 28 degrees. 22 on the summit. What a ridiculous forecast, LOL. DETAILS Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Steady temperature around 25. Wind chill values as low as 9. Windy, with a southwest wind 25 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 45 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

winterfreak Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 January is a lost cause. We’ve basically had a week of winter-like weather since November. An inch of snow. If it’s going to be snowless then bring on the torch. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sun has been materially more active than was anticipated thus far in this cycle. December was a big jump. January started off a little lower, but it's starting to pick back up the last few days.

james1976 Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Been absent a bit...hope everyone is well. Weather been a bit boring since the MN onslaught haha. Snowpack is still the real deal up there. Maybe lost a couple inches thats it. Came down to IA tonight. I'll be here til Friday. Surprised there's still a solid snowcover here. I'm actually looking forward to the milder temps down here this week. Daylight is starting to increase a bit. Still hoping the forum can see some good winter weather yet (it's only Jan 10th) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
