BowMeHunter Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 With the new climate normals, MKE has lost 5.5 inches of snow. Down to 46.9 from 52.4. Average temperatures are up as follows: Dec: +0.3 Jan: +1.6 Feb: +0.5 Minimums have taken a huge trend upwards (Jan: +2.2). Only one month has average maximum temperatures below freezing now (Jan). So, using the 30 year trend, the last several snowy winters should be an anomaly and we should move back to more modest, less snowy winters in the next few years ... if the long-term trend is our friend.

cyclone77 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Don't really have anything to add to the predictions, but I got bored the other day and read most of the GHD blizzard threads. Took a few hours. Reading them again was almost as exciting as it was back then, as the anticipation built more and more each model run. Kind of made me excited for the winter months coming up again, but we're still a looooong way away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably won't have something quite that historic this winter, but I'm beginning to look forward to tracking the winter storms again this winter.

snowlover2 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'm due for a big snowstorm in my neck of the woods. The last couple of years the bigger storms have been either too far east or too far west. Had to settle for clippers to get any kind of snowfall which in some cases weren't too shabby(4-6inch range). Clippers can be fun sometimes but i'd rather see something like the March 7-8 2008 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this is normally how Central Ohio plays out, as most things either cut or ride up the coast, although your area has it better than say Columbus or Akron.

Sad but true. Might not have to worry too much about storms going too far west this winter as most forecasts i've seen so far have storm tracks to my south and then up the east coast which is obviously where i'd prefer to see them. Get those storms to tap into gulf moisture and could be in for some fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last big one was Dec'04 and even then columbus was spilt between snow and icestorm. It seems the tracks have been way east or way west wrt central ohio...not too many cmh trackers recently...(i'm referring to storms coming up from the south...there have been some that have tracked in from the west that have gone over us and screwed us recently).

buckeye Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It always amazes me how 1917-18 fitted in 2 historic storms during the same season. December 9th 1917 and January 10th 1918. It also had a major storm in early January 1918. To me, no other winter, except maybe 1978 had anything close to the orgy that was in terms of severity and impact. The Toronto hammer of December 1944 was interesting storm. The late 1912 pattern starting with the February 20-21st blockbuster was intense, lasting well into March. There was a storm in January of 1927............about the only thing to remember that winter lol. good lord, how old are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
