Looks like a snowy Saturday......

Looks "purdy", but a bunch of that is sleet. The "snow only" map via PIVOTAL clearly shows the 8 Mile Rd cut-off line. Normally I'd be absolutely fine with lP's since they actually have better resistance to melt-off. But in this case, it's been too hot lately, and the air temps will be (once again) just barely at the freezing mark giving me pause as to whether or not much sleet actually happens. Could see a sloppy "white rain" scenario happen just as easily. Good luck amigo, this is looking much better for ya up in the northlands of Macomb, lol.

I don't have any "street level" zoom via paid premium sites, but a zoom and snip comparison with G-maps side by side comparison will suffice to show me that 3k NAM actually does have me in the 1" snowfall color. Again, a mood coating will be welcomed a week before Christmas.

Gaylord's fallen on barren times with the torch-off of their beautiful early season snow cover. I did look into number of days they've had 1" or more OTG and they have bagged (30) days. The nearest site was Houghton Lake, at least a county south, and much lower elevation. Like the swamps vs the high ground. Houghton Lake's had (18) days by comparison.

I’m literally on the northern edge.  Could squeeze 1/2 “ out of this.   Which could be what we call an eventful snowfall this winter.   I think this over performs east/ south east of here.  Someone will get 3-4 inches at least.

I swear..if this turns out to be a 4-5inch snowstorm ( where just days ago it was only snowshowers that were projected)......it will be the miracle Tom was talking about 😆

Next week's wx pattern is looking eerily similar to the one that developed the "bomb cyclone" off the PAC NW coast in late OCT, specifically speaking, during the OCT 24-26th period.  There was a piece of energy that broke off and tracked through the Rockies into CO where a SLP formed and tracked almost due East underneath the Block up on Top.  The models are picking up on this energy right around the Christmas period.  Looking back at the wx maps from that period you can see the resemblance.

The image below shows the bomb off the PAC NW coast, an expansive Hudson Bay Block and a potent system over KS that developed severe wx over the MW.  Also, there was a formidable storm off the NewFoundland coast over into eastern Canada.

Screen Shot 2021-12-18 at 2.07.20 AM.png

 

For comparison, look at what the 0z CMC is forecasting...while not perfect, I can see the similarities...

image.png

 

Interestingly, I think the ICON has the right idea where we will see a bigger and more impactful storm around Christmas that should strengthen into a formidable storm system somewhere over the GL's region and slow to a crawl.  Thus, leading us towards the next storm which I believe will develop over the S Plains/S MW and migrate slowly into the OHV based on the teleconnections during the 27th/28th period.  Again, that "dagger" of an impressive -PNA is forecast to bottom out right during this period which would have created a much different solution that I was anticipating.  Is there some hope that the PNA relaxes???  Models are suggesting it does as we enter the New Year.

1.png

 

How many years has it been since we have seen both the NAO/AO literally tank at the same time???  I mean, the group of global models ALL agree the AO to drop off significantly!  What the???  Unreal amount of high lat blocking is forecast to lock and rock.  Something has gotta give...let's see what this evolution will have in store for our Sub.

As long as the high lat blocking locks and the PNA relaxes somewhat...it appears to me that the STJ will ramp up and deliver the "goods" where they have been missing.  If the LR GEFS are to be believed (I believe they have the right idea) the cold will eventually press and bleed S/SE.  There are other influencing factors that lead me to believe this has some value of happening as we close out DEC.

Remember my LR post the other day regarding the BSR and the pattern that will develop over the Bearing Sea/Aleutian Islands later next week.  Fast Forward towards the opening week of JAN....this would be welcomed in my book and provide the missing ingredient to allow for storms to form out of the "Slot"....Let's rock it out of the Gates in '22 baby...I see you Blizzard...I see you soon!

There is less than a half inch of snow on the ground here. The roofs and grassy areas have some snow on them but the road and driveway are just wet. The current temperature here at my house is 30 with light snow falling. The little snow that falls today will not last until Christmas here.

Reading Terry Swails blog this morning there seems to be a big difference in the models in regards to what will happen with the MJO in Jan.  The Euro wants to stall things out in phase 7

The GFS progresses to phase 8 which would be great.

All I got was a little bit of mix precip so drum roll please…ORD will likely be setting an all-time record for the latest 0.1” of Snow…surpassing the month of Dec ‘12 that lead to the abysmal start to the Winter of 2012-13 but ended up being backloaded.

Clinton, OMG...we so need a change! I miss you posting snow maps when a storm is approaching. Let's get that going again! Plenty of winter to go..... GFS Oz run last night really got the cold back in the pattern post Christmas, plus some snow events for many. 

How about them Chiefs? What a 4th Quarter!! Justin Herbert is going to be a problem for the Chiefs for years to come. Going to be great games for many years.

What a game that was!  I'm still worn out and aged about 10 years during that game.  Lets hope the GFS is right, it's been good at predicting the warmth lets see if it can be right about the cold also. @TomJB keeps touting the Australian MJO model, I know nothing about this model are it's accuracy but I like the way it thinks.

Looks like we’ve picked up about 3” here in the thumb of MI so far this morning, definitely another overachiever snowfall wise. Grass is completely covered, going to have to plow the driveway once it stops snowing this afternoon. Without looking at the radar it’s hard to tell how much if any of this is contributed from the lake.

Glad you guys are scoring! Just a dud down here snow-wise. A light ZR coating on trees and grass that should be melting off asap. Not many sites actually reporting flakes around the Metro. Elevated thermals easily bumped the cold boundary no doubt aided by UHI. Just a couple -SN reports this hour:

Yeah, kinda figured I'd see a ridiculous south shift with the cold air.

Glad you guys are scoring! Just a dud down here snow-wise. A light ZR coating on trees and grass that should be melting off asap. Not many sites actually reporting flakes around the Metro. Elevated thermals easily bumped the cold boundary no doubt aided by UHI. Just a couple -SN reports this hour:

Thanks amigo..I will try and take pics outside later and also go for a measurement w/ my ruler. It looks like a 3 incher will be likely, b4 all set and done, or maybe slightly lower.

Windy. 50*.  Big change from yesterdays warmth. 
High tomorrow will be in the 40’s.  
No rain out of this but that’s ok.  Makes holiday travel somewhat more sane.
