michsnowfreak Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Congrats to Michiganders on their 'surprise' snowfall. Josh, I knew what he meant and your snowboard pictures bear that out. The snow didn't actually melt in the grassy areas, it just settled as to not be as visible. I remember someone last year claiming that the snow melted except on the pavement.

Create a b*tch and moan thread. I saw one in the Upstate NY/PA sub-forum. Seems to work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say we had one here as well. Either last winter or the one before. "Winter complaining" thread or something like that. In any case, I was just joshing around. This hobby has been so depressing and dispiriting to me lately that I hardly have the motivation to rant and rave. Maybe a spurt of pessimism here and there.

I believe you're right about a prior complaining thread. I don't think it's a bad idea to do another one for this winter. I mean the complaining is already starting...so then we can keep it in it's own thread...away from the actual weather discussion, whether it's good or bad. I do have a good guess as to the top 3 posters would be in that thread though. But I hear you...the weather of the past year plus has been rather dull. It's probably why my expectations for MBY are set low for this winter. Can't lose with that idea I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I'm in favor of another one. As asinine as getting one started before meteorological winter begins is...at least it would keep those away from the actual "real" discussion.

It's probably why my expectations for MBY are set low for this winter. Can't lose with that idea I guess. It's been multiple years for me though. And there are definitely fissures starting to form because of it. I think I've gone from madly in love to just in love with this hobby. Count my posts. I probably have 100 or so since Sept. Easily could have doubled or tripled that in previous years. Only passing interest in the midweek non-storm, even when it looked promising. Didn't even wake up in the middle of the night to view the models. Ah well. It is what it is. Thanks for being a shoulder to cry on Tim. You're the bedrock of this subforum.

I mean, I still enjoy it, but it doesn't bother me near as much when things go awry...not that it should have in the beginning. Oh well, keep your chin up Mike. And try to enjoy whatever wintry weather comes your way in the next 3-4 months. Hopefully there's some good times for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 So, boring pattern setting up. We should get something in two weeks (if we do get something), it will be almost middle of December, now if we don't, we will wait for another storm sometimes around the 25th of Dec, almost January, (never mind the storm never happened), let's wait until January, models are showing something around the 10th, (10th no storm), we get a lot of rain, (no worries next one will be snow) yeah right, (suppressed). It's Jan 30th, February should be fun and snowy, pattern change, (Nope, never happens), and so on we keep watching the models, time flies, and so does our life. We get older LOL...What amazes me is that I've known some of you for so long, several years, we started a while back on the ACCU forums (2007/8?), Chicago Storm is one, then whatever happened to WFRECK? LOL. Anyway you see how quickly time passes? It's just crazy... I just hope that this year does not end up like last (hopefully it will not)...

Powerball Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 i don't get it, it's freakin' Nov 25th....Not Jan. Pretty much. I'm more annoyed by the persistent overcast days (though it's to be expected given Detroit's location) than the lack of snow at this point The snow will come eventually, no doubt about that.

Powerball Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I imagine Detroit had similar to me - 0.3". It has all melted now. As was mentioned above, it was odd in that to the naked eye you noticed it alot more on the pavement than the grass (see my snowboard pic). You're right. Everything was snow covered this morning when I woke (probably somewhere around a half inch officially I'd estimate, as a good chunk of the grass was covered). I even had to brush off the car for the first time this season. But in any event, it's purely bonus snow at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an uncanny otter Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 That little clipper that moved through this morning produced a gorgeous surprise for me this morning. I live in Hamilton now but I was in Chatham for the weekend (east of Windsor) and from about 5 - 8 am this morning we had moderate snow that accumulated up to 4cm (1.6"). It actually snowed hard enough to accumulate on the roads and pavement which was surprising. Most of it had melted by the afternoon but there were still small amounts left on the grass and fields. I took a lot of pictures because I figured we might not see the ground covered in white again for a while at this rate. The sad part was that the total of 2" we've had this November has made it the snowiest November since 2008 for Chatham. If that other storm had worked out for our area, we could have received the snowiest November since 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 We've been getting some flurries this morning, temp at 30 °F.

Geos Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Pretty cold and cloudy today. Had a thick frost this morning on surfaces (particularly my car windows!). Currently 33°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The sky has that look of when a snow system is moving in. Thick altostratus moving overhead completely blocking out the sun. Without technology I probably would be thinking a storm was moving in. Can't wait for the real thing! EDIT: Point has us down to 10 tonight, so it's not out of the question we see our first single digits if all goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
