2026-2027 Record-breaking El Nino
michsnowfreak replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
They updated the definition last winter: coping /ˈkōpiNG/- "When your warm winter freezes into a cold and snowy one, so you start to talk daily about the Western U.S. or elsewhere on the globe rather than the frozen landscape that is currently in your backyard". -

It turned to snow here. Got 4". I remember the storm you are talking about. Jan was a torch after a cold snowy Dec 2005. Pretty much expecting a torch month this winter (likely December) so when you get some good snows in the torch month its a bonus, considering the snow season runs November to April. The whole "no snow" discussion is all trolling. Either that or absolutely NO concept of what Great Lakes and New England climate is. -

Exactly. And remember departures are relative to average. The averages are way colder than the east coast. It can be in the + double digits and snow mid winter. -

According to the troll cult, no measurable snow for me this winter. By comparison, Detroit averages 37 days per season with measurable snowfall and in 152 years of record, the least was 15 days (1889-90). I assume this means you shall sprout palm trees by March. Can't wait til verification time! -

One failed "prediction" after another the last few winters. -

Honestly, the funniest thing about the strong Nino this coming winter is that everyone in the north/northeast is prepared for a winter subpar to their climo. Expectations are set. It’s actually the troll comments that there will be no winter at all (in places that would see multiple snows in their warmest winter on record), that will look absolutely ridiculous next spring. -
October 2026 General Discussion
michsnowfreak replied to SchaumburgStormer's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
DTW lows the last 3 days 37F, 35F, 38F. Light frosts each day, with freezes in the colder spots. Might not see a cloud all week, but what better weather for peak Fall color peeping? -

I think he meant that by mid to late november we will have an idea how december looks, not that whatever happens in november is a sign. In fact, most of the warm Decembers here this past decade have been preceded by Novembers that were near avg or colder than avg and snowier than avg. -

Same here. The 2020s are not nearly over, so cant count them as a complete decade. 1980s- 45.2" 1990s- 37.9" 2000s- 45.3" 2010s- 49.9" 2020s- 37.8"* -

The 1990s winters were NOT "much cooler". 1990s winters were warmer than winters of the 2000s or 2010s here. Detroit winters 1990s- 28.7 2000s- 27.8 2010s- 28.2 NYC winters 1990s- 36.4 2000s- 35.5 2010s- 36.1 -

Im aware of all of that. Models always smooth things out. There will always be warmer areas....and colder areas. The Euro seasonal was too warm multiple times for the east the past handful of winters. Do i doubt that someone somewhere will have a +10 month? Not at all. To say that its going to be way warmer everywhere is the part I have issue with. Actually, im really more interested in snow. We all have tirelessly agreed it will be a mild winter, despite some troll comments implying the mysterious never-to-be-found posters calling for a cold winter....but these wild posts (not by you) that no one gets snow. Lol. I live in a state where the license plate says "water winter wonderland" and somehow el nino will take away all our snow -

michsnowfreak replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
After huge busts the last 2 winters, this one could've been in the bag. Milder than avg winter, easy call with a strong nino. But thats not enough. Every seasonal forecast is now way too cool . Take the Euro for instance. It was way too warm in the east last winter. BUT in 2023-24 it wasnt warm enough, so just use that. In fact, let's just round up to +20° for everyone and no snow anywhere. -
