This pattern couldn’t look more horrendous. Time to root for futility

I'm not trying to bring up winters from 15 years ago haha, just past couple years.

Bump

Well it doesn't *really* matter but just to set the record straight... Indianapolis did record above its seasonal snowfall avg last winter while Chicago recorded below. And that was for ORD.

Lol not even arctic air behind it. What a joke. March is going to average 41 degrees and be our snowiest month. Calling it now.

I mean, why fight the multi-year trend. One day, we will have the last laugh as MSP gets missed to the south year after year.

Well at least it’s active in the medium range

I’d be down to get that and nothing else the rest of the season at this point

And it will all melt within 6 hours of falling Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I just hope that if this is a warm winter, we dont get the cold and 1” slop events in April again. 2 years in a row of that now.

Oof

Medium-long range definitely looks better on today's runs, i'll give it that.

Beats this sh*t

I'll be on the East coast. Bring it

So sad that this is what it's come to

Oh yes, happens every year for the past 3 years

For downtown, the last 6+ event was that Feb 2018 event (I believe around 8”). In November 2018, we had a DAB downtown. Nov 2015 was a fluke here as well, so last double digit event I’ve seen here was GHDII, 6 years ago

We get that all the time. It’s called lake effect

Need the snow up by you! Otherwise, my snowmobiling trip is gonna go bust...

I hope so. Honestly, I would kill for a month with 9.2" to be real...

Ricky, talk me off the ledge

From northern NJ, but the good snow climo part of the state. Yea that was a fantastic storm, I remember it well, and certainly compared to the 24"+ storms I experienced in my childhood in the northeast. I was excited to move to Chicago for the reasons you mentioned (more frequent snowfall, generally colder). I like winter, so I'm happy with that. But it really just doesn't seem the climo is what it used. The grass outside my apartment had a dusting for the first time this winter...mid December. Shouldn't be like that in Chicago several years in a row.

Had the chance to leave yesterday, missed the boat. I would no joke pay $500 to have that flight put back on the manifest today.

Only storm I've seen since moving here even remotely comparable to a good northeast snowstorm was GHD II . Incidentally, that was also the last time I can remember 10"+ downtown, and that was nearly 6 years ago.
