Good call

The one 17th on this list? January 2-3, 1999 i mean https://www.weather.gov/dtx/dtwsnowstorm

As a kid I think January 1999 is what sparked my love for winter after waiting so long for snow days. I was in Sterling Heights and I always felt like everything was missing us

Does Grand Rapids just have a higher threshold for winter weather than Milwaukee or Detroit offices? For example the new cold warnings have different thresholds

At this point it feels like being in the top 25 coldest winters in the historical record would qualify as “harsh winter”, but we hit a top 25 warmest summer and it’s considered “who cares” by much of the board

I'm near Grand Rapids for the Thanksgiving weekend and really cashing in on lake effect around here last night and all day today

First freeze at the lakefront Marquette station yesterday Nov 24th

If it makes you feel better im always entertained how long it takes Marquette to get it's first freeze. The city station on the water not the Marquette WSO. Has gone to November quite a few times the past few years, and they are still waiting on their first freeze this year

Huh I just realized I think I live by a bunch of horse chestnuts after looking them up. Always thought they were buckeye trees!

For Chicago Looks like Detroit is also at an 11-day streak over 80 but I’m not sure if that is the longest in September

Met summer in Grand Rapids ended with above normal temperatures and precipitation… so WAW summer (warm and wet)?

Is there an easy way to look up historical dew point data? Monthly and daily data? or is that something you have to back into with temp and humidity data.

Very interesting analysis! Those 38 degree annual mean years in 1843 and 1875 are insane. Wouldn’t that technically qualify as like a subarctic climate??

For the US side of the eastern lakes it looks like Buffalo, Cleveland, and Detroit all finished in the top 10% of warmest Junes on record (going back to the 1870s)

Where do you find historical dew point data?

That is really interesting, good find!

Wow they were even visible in Chicago! Didn't think I would ever see them outshine the light pollution and have them in my own backyard

So how are things looking in the UP @weatherbo and @wishforsnow? Any trails open at all?

Looking like a good thing I was in the UP mid-January this year. You'll have to give us a snowpack update in 10 days or so

Interesting! Definitely not the usual lake effect snow location, see it on the northwest shore of the lake

I think you have the date wrong? ORD was 91/59 on May 30th

Can confirm Thundersnow in Irving Park!

RECORD EVENT REPORTNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO IL138 AM CDT FRI OCT 27 2023...RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURE SET AT CHICAGO-OHARE...A RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 65 WAS SET AT CHICAGO-OHARE YESTERDAY. THIS BEATS THE OLD RECORD OF 63 SET IN 1939.

I was wondering what was going on, Chicago was under Air Quality Alerts all last week and the AQI ended up I think staying below 100 each day. Then today nothing! (Until now)
