daddylonglegs Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Saints... I get the full effect here...I live right by L Onalaska... crazy the amount of snow that comes off those 5ft deep water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I believe Des Moines will be breaking their snowless record in the next couple days. The nws hasn't mentioned anything about Cedar Rapids' record, but I have also not recorded a tenth of an inch of snow since March 4th(not even a flake this season). Last year may have been even more impressive when I did not receive a 1" snowfall for more than 11 months, from Feb. 6th 2011 to January 12th 2012. Winter '07-'08 through '09-'10 was likely the best 3-year stretch of snowy winters in my lifetime. That just makes last winter and the beginning of this one seem even worse than they are. Wow, you missed out on all those snowfalls after the blizzard! Crazy. That winter, I think my last snowfall over an inch was the first week of March.

michsnowfreak Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I'm starting to wonder if some of you guys even see snow this year... Place like Milwaukee/Chicago with that steamy hot lake, it will be tough to turn over to snow. I think this season will bring out the Grinch in many snow a lover... Making sweet passionate love to Yeti is not a cure. there's a ton of different ways we can speculate how much snow will fall in the next 4.5 months, but I will bet any member on this board any amount of money that it will snow in chicago and milwaukee this winter!

dmc76 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Record for latest first measurable I believe is 12/16 and today is day #276 in the streak w/out measurable snow. Record for Chicago is 280 days in 1994. My call Chicago Will get this record not only get it but I believe they will smash this record of Consecutive days without measurable snowfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont go too much past 180. I believe the record for Detroit is 282 days set in 1998 (Mar 22 through Dec 28). The 2012 break was 258 days (Mar 10-Nov 22) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I can't believe this place isn't hopping! The much advertised midwest and lakes snowstorm on everyone's radar for the last week has degraded into another meteorological disappointment. Check out the 240 hr euro....looks like all the real cold is evacuating our side of the globe. JB's vodka cold is now juicebox cool. And lastly i present the 384 hr gfs which is making me entertain the idea of grilling out on xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering some really good strat warming took place and might translate into some very good deep arctic air intrusions as we head into late month. Hope Im right TBH! But I fully understand the cause for alarm after last winter. A possible string of bad winters isnt all that shocking when you look back at the 90s.

If trends prevail, then yes we can cheer on a green Christmas. The ensembles look very good...the same debbie downers would be lol-ing if a warm ensemble mean wasoverlooked in favor of a cold 6z op run . And actually I cant think of a better pattern for this early in g he season for us. If it had a super cold look everyone would be worried about suppression (id welcome this pattern in jan if we had a snowcover and just hope for clippers, but not so much so early in the season with bare ground. And of course a torch would be disaster. So cold and stormy pattern potential is all we can ask for, just have to hope it pans out for our backyards.

IWXwx Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I didn't want to clog up the long term thread, so this the perfect place to do it. The talk is the day 8/9 GFS storm and how we should wait until day 5 to start a thread. I wouldn't start one at all, because it will most likely drop a deuce on the futon when it gets into the short term range anyway, just like most of the 'storms' have lately. /End rant.

This december does suck so far....first torch, now lgt rain (may see first flakes since nov 25 tmrw?). But ghe first 10 days have been slated to suck for a while.

Geos Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Never did like this December. Thought the blocking patterns were crappy. Wait to the cold biased models(which seems to be all of them lately at 180hrs) start losing the -NAO before Christmas. Weenies could slit their throats..........then the Pacific gets its act together and we get real cold air in here January 2nd. Typicall strong -NAO are not what we want. Unless you're a clipper lover. But with the Pacific acted up - I'm guessing the -NAO will strengthen the baroclinic zone like OH said in the other thread. Of course if the region builds a good snowpack through Christmas, then a less NAO may not be all that bad...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Cant help but notice how the real cold keeps getting pushed further back. Not one sub freezing day in my 5-7 day forecast. I know you climo guys will say thats exceptable based on historical stats but i find it odd and anoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
