RCNYILWX Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 probably not...but i didn't think we needed to go that much longer to set some kind of record. 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.

Record for Chicago is 280 days in 1994. Well, they're both in play I guess with the 280 day streak nearly a lock to at least tie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Granted it does look better the farther north you are but I'm just not seeing how it is a particularly favorable pattern farther southward into the OV. this is a good point. Our region is huge. When I'm whining and complaining it applies to the far southeastern range of our region....so when I get eye-rolls from folks in MI, WI, and N.IL....it's kind of silly. I would much rather be in the spot they find themselves in those areas. They may not be slated for brutal cold for awhile, but they definitely are cold enough for snow when a storm finally gets it's act together...and it will. Prospects down here in the tropical locales of our region are downright dismal in the near, mid, and even long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Patience grasshopper, our time will come, our time will come. It is like lying in the weeds waiting to spring the surprise attack. oh i have no doubt. I fully expect a blockbuster snowstorm here.... ....late March early April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the North end of those states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana that's true, but for Ohio it's only true for the NW portion of the state. Pretty much any track favoring a blockbuster for MI, even Detroit area, requires the low to track way too close to Ohio to keep it mostly frozen.

michsnowfreak Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Weingartz commercial said in October if you buy a snowblower and Detroit does not get over 20" you can return it and get a refund...... Some people use the snowblower for every snow 1"+, but some only for the bigger ones. Used a snowblower once last winter but DTW still got 26". They have themselves pretty good odds. This will be Detroit's 133rd winter recording snowfall, and only 10 winters have seen less than 20", most recently in 1968-69 when only 17.1" fell (1982-83 had exactly 20.0").

weatherbo Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I've had over 12" of snow so I can't complain if I'm adhering to Indiana standards, but we are well below up here and the local are getting cranky. They take alot of pride in living in a major snowbelt. The hunters, the ski resorts, the snowmobilers are all up in arms. even with the "milder" than normal weather, lakes are skimming over with ice in shallow areas.

Hoosier Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Here ya go Hoosier, I raise your 10 days to 15 days. Might be a complete December shutout. Tick, tick, tick...

daddylonglegs Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm praying that Milwaukee gets at least 1 (if not 2) 25+ inch snowfalls this winter. I may sacrifice a local squirrel to appease the snow Gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wanna make a bet? I say LAF sees at least 6" total this December. Could happen, but we will probably have to rely on the last 10-15 days of the month. Just don't see a mechanism to get sustained cold into the OV/east yet. Of course you don't always need sustained cold to get snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the pattern looks that bad for us, in LAF...as modeled of course. It's not perfect mind you, but I do think we'll have opportunities. And really, that's all you can ask for right now. Maybe we lose, maybe we win a few. Don't know right now. The 6"+ is going out on a limb, but I'm taking a positive stance. Alright, enough optimism for this thread. I apologize.

Say it's Dec 20 and we're still waiting for a significant snow. By that point there's only about 6 weeks before the increasing sun angle becomes noticeable, at least a little bit.
