Some of the most insane sustained winds I’ve seen around these parts in quite sometime. CMI recorded a 70mph wind gust, with multiple trees uprooted, power outages, tree damage.
while the snow didn’t really stick, the conditions were just legit for quite awhile. Such a dynamic system.
Was just reading about my winter here for the 22-23 season we have received 6.2” on the season, that’s good for the 12th least snowiest on record, should we receive no more snowfall this would be the least snowiest winter since the early 1900s.
I will obviously need to wait for February to finish, but temp wise this should end up somewhere in the top 10-14 I’d have to imagine as well.
that 6.2” for the 12th least snowiest to date really sticks out, it goes to show how little winter we truly experience, and how we really experienced a legendary folklore winter in 2013-2014.
Idk, this winter is hot garbage. At least for me, this rivals 2011-2012 in just overall awfulness. Many here in central Illinois are under 10” for the season, with nothing in the foreseeable future.
the 1” ground blizzard and insane cold on the doorstep of Christmas was fun, but other than that, nothing burger since.
Stellar Super Bowl Sunday on tap, should top out around 53-55, full sun and calm breeze. Grills and smokers galore right now, everyone is in spring mode.
Sub 10” winter here is definitely plausible here in Champaign. No snow in the forecast for the next 9 days. In fact, 50s and might sneak in a 60 next week.
Hit 56 two hours ago, since then temps have “crashed” to 50. Mid 50s in the grid once again next week. 5” on the season with roughly 96 hours of snowcover, this winter is toast. Nothing can salvage it now.
2012 was just absurd. Curious with a dying weak La Niña transitioning to enso neutral (similar to 2012) what this will yield for spring/summer. Obviously many different factors, and the one caveat models hinting a borderline moderate Nino developing this year. If I remember correctly 2012 stayed neutral with enso neutral observed during winter 2012-2013.
Haven’t had any snowcover all winter to worry about that lol.
Yep. Car washes are full right now, and everyone is in a chipper mood with the sunshine and 51 degree temp. Interested to see if I smell the first grill of the season this evening.
Torching away at 48 in the paign, should top out around 52-53 today. As cyclone alluded to, spring fever is in the air and the dreaded sun angle is starting to come into play.
