Chicago Storm

actually, it's the opposite. if you want winter to continue into spring, the euro weeklies are your friend.

ORD had a high temp of 65° on today, which broke the record high max temp for the date of 58° (1921).

Chicago/O'Hare had a high temperature of 65° on February 16th, which broke the record high maximum temperature for the date of 58° (1921).

Blowing out the record high for today at ORD, which was a low hanging one at 58° (The only sub-60° record high beyond Feb 10th).

that does not correlate to it being an "east coast pattern".

no lol.

there's a lag time with the mjo. we're currently feeling the effect of the passage through phases 6-7 to end january.

50’s in late winter/early spring always hit differently than 50’s in late fall/early winter. the goods.

both are unlikely.

Forgot about this one from several days ago, dusted by WAA snows, with 0.5" at ORD... …2025/26 Season Snowfall... 32.1" - ORD 24.0" - RFD Just shy of having the most snow in a season at ORD since 2021/22, and on pace to rank as the 3rd snowiest seasons since the back-to-back big snow seasons of 2013/14 and 2014/15.

the next window of opportunity is nearing for the sub-forum. we enter this window beginning mid-next week. some places are going to do really well in this pattern. who will it be? msp, grb, mke, ord, dtw?

don’t mind him. he only pops up when there’s going to be a torch.

*false spring.

counterpoint: it’s not.

nice knowing you, hoss.
