January 2015 Observations and Discussion

[Maxim]

Sunday storm Tuesday Wednesday clipper looking interesting. brutal cold Starting this weekend things finally go back to more winter like. Step in the right direction but being still almost a week out makes me nervous.

Please tell me where you are seeing this. Low temps will barely get to zero. Certainly not "brutal cold" type cold...

[GDR]

Maybe just maybe will see a decent snow this weekend

[NEJeremy]

Boston Logan airport with a little over 23" as of 7p est, several reports in Mass. of 30"+. Unreal. Would have loved to experience this one!

[DSMWxObs]

GFS looking quite impressive for wkend system

[Money]

Can we please lock in the GFS? Widespread 6+ amounts for a lot of posters here 

[Money]

That is honestly like a dream run. Just keeps snowing and snowing for 24+ hours.

 

12+ in Iowa, 8-10 for Chicago area. 6-8 for MKE/S. WI

[Meichel]

Nashua, NH 33"+ at 7:30. About an hour NNE of Boston.

[Tom]

Might have to start a Thread on this storm after tonight's full suite of runs...GFS certainly trying to phase this storm earlier.  Getting more organized.  LRC trying to work its magic.  Maybe this will be our first real snow storm.  Looks like it tries to develop a healthy looking defo band for a large area from the Midwest/Lakes.

[Money]

L starts to strengthen and cuts up into Indiana bringing even more snow to N. IL

 

14-16 showing up in N. Indiana/N. IL

[Tom]

Yes....please.....

[Money]

Yes....please.....

 

Still snowing after that frame...

[bud2380]

D**n. Time to start a thread I think

[Money]

18-20 inch amounts showing up for N. Indiana and southern Michigan 

[Tom]

This storm is looking impressive...back to back Majors possibly????

 

Wow...10-20" showing up in SE MI/NW IN/NW OH...

[bud2380]

Gfs showing over 30 straight hours of snow. I recall one year probably almost 15 years ago right around Christmas where we got 24-26 straight hours of very light snow. It amounted to about 6". That's about as long as I can recall it snowing without a lull in between.

[Tom]

Pattern reminiscent of the late 70's....especially the major storms of 1978...

[Money]

This storm is looking impressive...back to back Majors possibly????

 

Wow...10-20" showing up in SE MI/NW IN/NW OH...

 

Imagine if you can get that thing to phase/develop earlier...

[Tom]

Folks on the east coast will be pissed to have all that rain on their freshly fallen snow...that's the love/hate relationship you have to deal with living on the East Coast.

[Scott26]

Wow...10-20" showing up in SE MI/NW IN/NW OH...

High pressure stays north and allows this to amplify. Lets hope this is a continued trend...

[Money]

Everybody in this thread gets 4+ on that run. We'll see what GGEM/UKIE say in a bit

[Tom]

Imagine if you can get that thing to phase/develop earlier...

Trend is our friend...I like where its going

[james1976]

Can we please just lock this in? For once. Lol

[james1976]

So....did this run phase the northern and southern streams earlier than what the runs from earlier today showed?

[Tom]

High pressure stays north and allows this to amplify. Lets hope this is a continued trend...

On top of that, with the HP to the north it will create a cold wind off the lake for over 24 hours.  This set up should create a lot of lake enhancement in WI/IL.

[winterfreak]

Need a earlier phase please.

[james1976]

Man, GFS is dumping 10" on me. That would be amazing. And its on the weekend for once.

[james1976]

Need a earlier phase please.

Still dumping 5-6 on you this run.

[Money]

Isn't this storm happening around the same day as the GHD blizzard? 

[winterfreak]

Yeah just jelous seeing those 1'+ totals just to the north lol.

[james1976]

Wow, this thing turns into a bigtime storm the further east it goes. Would be crazy if it could phase even sooner.

[Tom]

Isn't this storm happening around the same day as the GHD blizzard? 

4 Year Anniversary....
