A picture of a real snowstorm. Cool. Look at this everyone,a real snowstorm. Remember those? I think I have forgotten.
ReplyDeleteyea, and look how the snow actually has some real density to it. It's not all "airy" and fluffed up to three times more than it actually will be the next day when it settles. Yep, that's one of them there real snow storms. Too bad we don't get them around these here parts.
ReplyDeletethat video is very cool of the snow
ReplyDeleteSnowfan that was awesome. LOL. I needed that.
ReplyDeleteI agree SnowFan, I think we all needed that laugh!! I keep wishing and hoping for a big one for us! I could handle a repeat of the '93 storm. That was a trip! Had the tie strap and chains in the truck and was making a little jingle helping out those who forgot how to drive in it! Anyone know if there is ANY glimmer of hope?? I know some have said the models may have something for Jan 5th - 8th. Any updates on that??
ReplyDeleteI did not see anything from the GFS for that period. We will get called after Sunday, but I do not see any storms from the current run of the GFS.
ReplyDeleteI meant cold. Not called.
ReplyDeleteProbably just another long period of cold and dry by early January. Storms will likely pass well to our east and south when it's cold. And any storms that do give us their precipitation will likely pass to our west and give us synoptic rain. Also, the lake is down into the middle 30's, so lake effect will be somewhat more difficult unless temps are colder than -10C at about 5,000 feet up.
ReplyDeleteMild and rainy. Cold and dry. That's our winter.
YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP! It is going to be a long boring winter from here on out. Not even worth hoping because we just get let down if any storm comes our way. Maybe next year the pattern will change dramatically to our favor for being in the path of big storms.
ReplyDeleteAny snow we have now will be gone by Sunday with temps into the low 50's.
ReplyDeleteDK brings up a good point about the temp of the lake...
ReplyDeleteNews 8 Weather Team, can you comment on that? Did this colder than average December change our chances for LES? Are our chances of LES really that different from past years just because of the colder temps?
Thanks!
Sorry for giving false hope to all the GFS now shows nothing for the next two weeks so it will be a quiet month of January and unfortunately I fear the rest of the winter.
ReplyDeleteI am not even going to look at the models anymore. Whatever happens, happens. We cannot control it.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to hear about our lake effect chances now that we have lived through a very cold Dec. It seems to me it's a point that needs to be considered, what with the cold Dec.and cold lake waters.
ReplyDeleteBoring Weather. Nothing to talk about.
ReplyDeleteI am still not giving up hope from the 8th-10th time frame. Models will go back and forth so looking now is not worth the frustration. Tune in a week from now. But I am keeping hope just like this past storm for Christmas played out. The GFS had something brewing 15 days in advance and it changed hundreds of times. Even until two days before when they thought it was OTS. The GFS had something brewing in a run this past Monday. A big strom will develop during this time frame the only hope is that we are in the sweet spot path this time.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are right. Right now the GFS still shows nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhen are we going to update this blog?????
