dmc76 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Here you go...This Video perfectly explains the Groundhog Day Blizzard. We all knew in the back of our heads that storm would somehow screw us in SEMI and sure enough....Well watch this vid.. Sad...but true somehow someway Detroit avoids every major Snow event.. We are the KINGS of 2-4 inches and the mysterious sleet that cuts down on totals or massive drysloting. Heres all the Major Cities thats had a 15"+ event in the last 10 years North of I-70 Boston Montreal Toronto Chicago Milwaukee Minneapolis Columbus Cleveland Pittsburgh Philly Wash DC Baltimore Buffalo Denver Ottawa New York Hartford Albany Syracuse Not 100% sure if Indianapolis has or has not had a 15"+event. The only event I can think of that may have been flirting with 15" occured in 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Very nice link. Nice that you can see what the teleconnections were exactly. Is there analogs for every 6 hour or 12 hour interval for each gfs run? Or just an analog for each system. It changes every 12 hours. Here's a list of the most continuous analogs showing up (for the entire 120hrs of the past 4 runs of the GFS). December 19th, 2008 hasn't made the list yet, but it's still early. http://www.eas.slu.edu/CIPS/ANALOG/continuity.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only event I can think of that may have been flirting with 15" occured in 2005 Detroit (and St. Louis) are also the only cities with the longest standing biggest snowstorm record, at least in the Midwest. As for Cleveland, Syracuse and Buffalo, if their 15"+ event(s) came from lake effect then I don't think it would be fair to include them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 You had a 15"+ event in the last 10 years? Shelby Township had 1 in 05 17" I believe. I know Northern oakland county has had 3 since 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 You had a 15"+ event in the last 10 years? I measured 15 exactly with the Dec 18 2008 storm. As always dtx snow maps were off. We almost always do better here with snowstorms north of m59. Detroit is just too far east. Well west if you look at noreasters. Either big storms track right over us, track west or a noreaster. I think the apps screw us. Also transfers happen alot when we get a favorable track so an extended time into deformation bands is less likely. Just a tough geographical location for big snows.

And then when we do get that perfect track, moisture content and dynamics with a storm (November 13th, 2010 and November 13th, 2008) it's the wrong time of the year for snow.

We had a dream track in April 2005 that would have brought us 20-36 inches across the area but there was a catch...............it was to late in the year!

Stevo6899 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 State college got hit hard a couple times last winter. Yea but they are always so close to the monsters off the coast. I can't really complain. Folks on the east coast go in longer droughts. Prior to last year the mid-atlantic went some 8 years without a storm. NYC had a long drought too prior to this year. Prior to this winter we had 60 more inches than msp the last 8 years. So while we don't get the 15+ storms, which don't come around often in the midwest, we still do pretty well. I'd rather have 30+ (some 60+ mixed in) almost every season than 80+ one season mixed with some really dry winters like the east coast gets.

Just read on the storm 15-35 cm around the GTA up to 50 cm around Ottawa and the Niagara area. So I guess I can throw in Toronto in the Mix. So the 401 Corridor from Detroit To Toronto is OVER do.
