Chicago Storm Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 The 2012-13 season is now in sole possession of least amount of snow on record through Jan. 13th. Given the forecast for the next several days each day looks to break the record for the given date, and by an increasing margin as time goes on.

beavis1729 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thanks for the stats, Chicago Storm. Although the current snow drought for winter 2012-13 is the big deal here (1.3" of snowfall to date for the season, besides the records mentioned above)...the most remarkable thing to me is how many poor snow winters Chicago has seen over the years. I would have never thought that Chicago has had 10 winters since 1890 with less than 4" of seasonal snowfall through Jan. 13. That is horrible. It just confirms my contention that it's a media-driven fantasy that Chicago is somehow a wintry place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Chicago has had fifteen 10" storms in February and six 10" storms in March. 4 of the 6 March storms occurred 1931 or prior. The only April storm with more than 10" was April 1-2, 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 All relative. On average Chicago is still a more wintry place than like 2/3 of the country. It's definitely the most wintry out of the major cities, but I wouldn't consider it a snowy place. There's many more towns and areas in this country that are a lot more snowy. Out of the cities over 250k in the country, excluding Alaska, I'd say Minneapolis is the most wintry city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syracuse is always cited as the largest "Wintery" city..... To really figure this out, you have to set a population minimum.... Houghton or Marquette, MI are the snowiest cities with a university.
