jaster220 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 There is a very narrow band of snow just along and just north of I 94 looks like Jaster should be either in or close to that band. The band looks to stay south of the GR metro area I'm still in St. Joe attm, where it's been a virga deal, at least here at the lake shore..driving home I will see what happens inland..

jaster220 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Had a bit of snow earlier, which I didn't really accumulate beyond slush, which I'm not gonna bother measuring. It was, however, the most meaningful snow we've seen all season. Was able to get a quick snap of the Christmas tree on my phone earlier though. A tree with snow falling behind it is one of my favorite things about Christmas. Fantastic!!

jaster220 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 As I suspected might be the case, once the initial burst of large flakes subsided, the snow rate was not able to counteract the warm surface/ground temp(air temp never dropped below 35). We finished with only a spotty slushy dusting. So, our season continues to be without any measurable snow.

Tom Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I actually drove through Chicago last year when I came out here for a visit before I actually moved out here permanently. Its changed a lot since Dillinger went down at The Biograph...Not sure when that is but I assume it was a while ago? Ya, Chicago is currently in the midst of a real estate boom. High rises being developed everywhere. I was just downtown earlier today and there is construction going on everywhere. The city is rebuilding and knocking down older neighborhoods and developing new and fresh commercial/retail developments. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it even more so now then before.

Tom Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Something to keep an eye on with this clipper is to see how much it wraps up. For instance, with yesterday's clipper, all the models were showing a precip shield developing farther north but that didn't happen. Check out where the speed max was being depicted on the NAM and where the snow actually fell. The precip tends to blossom closer to the most "lift" and that is where the snow broke out in IA/SW WI/N IL. I think there is still some room for shifts for S WI peeps. Here are a couple maps showing the energy tracking through IA/N IL... The only hope for this system to target S WI peeps is for the clipper to track just enough south and the precip to break out closer to the "speed max". Interestingly, the most lift is tracking through the same areas in IA/WI/IL.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
