Chicago WX Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 19.8" at ORD in 2011-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I think ORD was 15...I was probably more like 11-12 ORD had 19.8". It was their first sub-20" winter since 1948-49...on the heals of the first time in recorded history they had 4 consecutive 50"+ winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Elevator music pattern!!! Hey! I like what others call elevator music, it got me interested in weather, the jazz they played on Local on the 8s. I wouldn't have discovered TWC were it not for that.

Hoosier Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I might be remembering incorrectly but didn't you get a dusting last month Alek? If that's the case then it's sorta funny that ORD has yet to get something measurable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is VERY optimistic. No offense to Josh, but he will maintain hope until about Feb 20th before throwing in the towel. I have thrown in the towel on SE Michigan for the month of December already.

Chicago WX Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Oh noes. SWS from LOT for NE IL. Better miss ORD... ...SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE MONDAY... COLD AIR SPREADING ACROSS THE AREA BEHIND A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MONDAY...COMBINED WITH A PASSING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE...WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SNOW FLURRIES AND SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING DURING THE DAY MONDAY. WHILE WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATING SNOW IS NOT ANTICIPATED...SOME LOCALIZED MINOR ACCUMULATIONS OF PERHAPS A FEW TENTHS OF AN INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 30S DURING THE DAY SHOULD ALLOW RELATIVELY QUICK MELTING OF ANY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Here ya go Hoosier, I raise your 10 days to 15 days. Might be a complete December shutout. Tick, tick, tick... 15 days from when that was posted would take us til the 20th. Not ready to go that far yet but I'd say that mood flakes/DAB are the most we can expect til at least the 18th.

I have thrown in the towel on SE Michigan for the month of December already. Killing this month.... There are prob 2-4 more people ready to toss it also(except josh). Depending on how things go, next monday will offically be towel tossing day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 lol, thanks. Just going off the top of my head, I don't think the LAF airport has had 3 consecutive years with 100 degree temps (WL COOP has), so we have that to shoot for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 If michnsnowfreak understood the point of this thread, he wouldn't have a single post in here. no offense msf...you're just too damn positive! I know, I really should just leave this thread. I corrected a lowballed total of ORD's snowfall & was told I dont understand this thread. Its cool though, and my own fault for posting in here, because being negative is the only in-crowd on these boards nowadays (and I know several who left because of it...why do you think we get so few mets in here?). Its not even an equal opportunity complain thread! I got flamed for complaining about complaining, but twisting facts, stats, and exaggerating is fine as long as you remain firmly negative that winter wont come. The irony of it all is that being realistic about things like the way weather patterns work, past data, climo, and the date on the calendar labels you as optimistic/positive...that I really think no one actually realizes how f***ing p*ssed I am that there is no snow on the ground!

I have thrown in the towel on SE Michigan for the month of December already. I am even more realistic than optimistic...98% of this board is very, VERY pessimistic. Last post in this thread btw....it depends what you mean throw in the towel. OUR kind of winter is different from MOST of this board (or so they claim). They want a good snowstorm, and don't care as much for cold, snowcover like you and I. By late January it will be clear if I should "throw in the towel" or not on the kind of winter we like, as I did last year. As for mere snowstorm chances, I dont care what the pattern is, that towel stays folded until April 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
