On a semi related note. I hope it snows; my igloo is now just a puddle of mud again.

BTW... 00Z GGEM now has the storm, last run didn't. There will definitely be some flipping and flopping. But the storm is so far away, there is even a good chance that it may not pan out at all.

That's okay... I moderate the snowfall rates of MI... I have banned all winter storms until they issue an apology for being cold and yucky...

Nick... Along with the snow chances being removed, the severe weather chances are equally disipated. In winter, you usually don't have one without the other. The people on the south end get a nice outbreak, while people on the north end get a nice snowstorm/blizzard.
So... Not only are you angering the winter enthusiasts (or weather enthusiasts), but now the folks in the south who would have had one hell of an outbreak :wink:
BTW... That's why MI has 4 Great Lakes surrounding it -- they wanted to make sure you had plenty to pick from before you threw yourself in (or someone else does it for you) LOL :lol:

It's back on the 12Z run of the GFS...
Weather enthusiasts and storm chasers - rejoice!
Prediction: Gone by the 00Z, again.

I like what the 12z GFS shows, but can you back it a few hundred miles west please?

Well, what I DO like is the fact that development appears to take place sooner (at least in the mid levels) at 84-90HRs on the GFS.
The Canadian has backed off since the 00Z run. The 12Z UKMET has development at 72HR in the deep south (I don't get any data beyond that), and the 00Z ECMWF (12Z not in yet) shows EXPLOSIVE development, dipping a low just below 970MB over Ontario Canada (the strongest solution as of so far).

You know, if there is in fact a snowstorm in Detroit Saturday night into Sunday, it will be too bad Ford Field is covered. If it were to snow heavily during that time it could have been one of the most interesting superbowls ever.
Can you imagine how exciting that would be if the superbowl was being played in the midst of a raging blizzard? As long as the snow wasn't too intense I believe they would keep on playing.
Nevertheless, if this storm indeed does impact Detroit that day, tailgaters are going to be in for some fun! 8)

From DTX:
LOL... More than a foot of snow, eh? If the GFS/ECMWF fields verified, we'd be looking more along the lines of 18 to +24 with SFC winds gusting up to +55KNTS.
I was talking to my dad, and like he said... The teams will already be in DTW, so the only impact might be fans actually getting to the stadium (southern MI can't really handle anything over a foot... Let alone 2 feet with winds gusting to 60MPH). Either way, with the tickets already sold out, the game would definitely continue.
If I recall, our local news did a story on this very event... The question was "what would happen if we got hit by a winter storm during the Super Bowl?"... Apparently, there are quite a few snow removal services contracted out, capable of handling up 16-18 inches of snow for the event (and remember, that's ONLY for the stadium parking lot and closely surrounded areas -- NOT the many people that are paying $25,000 to rent out houses closer to my location). The other solution would be to call in plow services from other counties, and that would mean it would be quite awhile before they dig out suburban areas like mine.
I hope this happens, it will definitely be interesting to watch the mayhem first hand...

Well I'm glad my flip flopping prediction is still in tact. Will withold comment/prediction on this system except for the conceptuals until the energy gets at least close to the coast.
