good writeup as usual.

heres dtx's outlook

interesting for the "big storm buffs". they hinted that snowfall may be less frequent but come in bigger bursts, higher impact storms this winter. an interesting idea.

GIVEN THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS IT IS QUITE LIKELY THAT

2011 WILL CONTINUE TO MARCH ITS WAY HIGHER UP ON THIS LIST.

INTERESTINGLY...EVERY ONE OF THE YEARS WHICH FAILED TO PRODUCE A

MEASURABLE SNOWFALL BY DECEMBER 5TH ENDED UP WITH BELOW AVERAGE

SNOWFALL FOR THE WINTER MONTHS (DEC-FEB). CERTAINLY THAT DOESNT

MEAN THAT CHICAGOS SNOWFALL WILL BE BELOW AVERAGE IF THERE ISNT

MEASURABLE SNOWFALL BY THE 5TH...BUT STATISTICALLY THE ODDS WOULD

CERTAINLY TEND TO FAVOR LESS SNOWY THAN AVERAGE WINTER
