WxMidwest Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 With the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans battling it out (Atlantic signal says storm should be south of us, while Pacific says hold on.), yoiu sometimes get weird looking storms, such as the current one. You either cash in big time (IA, MN, WI, MI, central Ontario) or are out luck (upstate NY and the north shores of Lake Ontario and Erie). But despite this, I'm 100 percent sure this winter will not be a repeat of last winter. Northern ILL ain't doing to bad either Rockford has 7 inches already before this storm, that will drop 3-6 inches.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 DVN has officially flipped to snow. Interesting. You can see the wind shift line pretty easily on the 88D velocity scans. It sure is creeping along slowly. Still just light rain here. It looked like we could go over to all snow an hour or two ago when those large flakes were mixing in, but it was just a tease.

But despite this, I'm 100 percent sure this winter will not be a repeat of last winter. Yeah, you're not going to win all the battles. It's just disheartening that we've had so much consecutive bad luck. Even if bad luck was the predominant theme, as long as one or two decent storms were thrown in there, it wouldn't sting nearly as much. Since Feb, 3/09 I can't think of one snowfall event that hasn't busted/underperformed. And I completely agree with that last statement. Last winter was once in a lifetime suckage. But I could see this winter being a 30-35" moderated crapfest nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnavywx Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Moderate snow now. Temp slowly falling (33.9). It was struggling for a while, but appears to have finally won out after about 45 minutes of battling. I guess it pays to have a snowpack and live at a slightly higher elevation on a day like this (900 ft). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organizing Low Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 very nice pics guys! and yeah, SSC, it has been a dismal stretch of winter weather in the eastern lakes, really since the feb 2009 superstorm that wasnt. the folks in new england/upstate (outside of lake effect) are suffering too. yes, we've had a couple retro lows, and a nice surprise on in MTL earlier this week, but more rain is on the way. it just seems that we cant get a good cold air source since all this higher lattitiude blocking began way back when. that really is the main problem as i see it, in terms of 'what the heck is going on here?!?' you have to believe it will turn at some point but i dont see it. now having said all that, this could be at least a somewhat interesting event for ottawa, but not a true snowstorm by any means.
