  1. Final snowfall totals of 0.3” ORD, 0.8” MDW and 0.7” RFD. .
  2. the real winner here with this one will be our guy from buffalo. .
  3. easy over. nothing reliable is that low there. .
  4. too bad new years week wiped out our futility. .
  5. That’s obviously true. However, when all reliable and known pieces of information are not used in determining the strength/rating of a given tornado (such as radar data from a DOW parked next to a tornado), the rating scale loses merit. Edit: And to add… Given surveys that are conducted are inconsistent throughout offices across the country, overall ratings (to a degree) and especially statistical tornado counts are worthless these days.
  6. Glaze + for most areas around here yesterday/last night… Ice totals of 0.15” ORD, 0.18” MDW and 0.10” RFD. Some of the higher totals were 0.18” ARR and 0.24” DPA. .
  7. The city itself didn't get below 0, and MDW bottomed out at 1. good ole ex-home made it down to -5. Forgot to mention the winds from Tue night/Wed as well, which featured peak wind gusts of 46MPH at ORD, 47MPH at MDW and 48MPH at RFD. Can't recall the last time we've had so many wind events in the Nov-Jan time-frame.
  8. DSM found several more tors. IA state total for the day is up to 61, which smashes the previous record. Well over 100 tornadoes region wide for the day now was well. .
  9. It was someone else deeper into KY, just can’t recall the username. The person you’re referring to isn’t around on here anymore, but is still around off the board. .
  10. Solid snowstorm for KY and TN today Think at one point in time we used to have a poster from somewhere in KY. I’m guessing they probably migrated to the Tennessee Valley sub-forum though.
  11. and you can make your own threads for that like we do when there is potential up here. no one is stopping you, and you have enough posters to fill a thread. .
  12. As many have alluded too, we're entering a fairly zzz period once again through mid month. This period will feature generally a N to + PNA/AO/EPO and +NAO. It will likely be lacking any good snow once again for most, and will likely be more of a roller coaster with temps, between fairly cold and more average (As can be seen the next week or so for example).
  13. The first week or so of this pattern was a big swing and a miss, but the second week or so panned out for many.
  14. here i am, just trying to bring everyone together in this new year.
  15. your point is flawed though, given my point is geography based to. i just didn't post some random mileage map. and i'm pretty sure cyclone was originally trying to include you all, before eventually going back to edit his post with some truthful sarcasm. it's not our fault ya'll (ohioans) make yourself to be outcasts in this sub-forum.
  16. we're headed back to a not so great pattern. will be posting about it soon in the short/medium range thread. hope you all enjoyed the active week while it was here.
  17. you have no point there, given detroit folks post in the main threads. .
