csnavywx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 1.1" on the year here through three separate meager "events". Totally laughable, even by STL standards and worse than last year, which was impressively bad. Bring on spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Warmer and rainier. Pretty much a lock for a terrible LE season as well. We'll be growing palms by the time I'm a grandpa. The next 6-8 years will be a huge tell on that. We are expected to warm up fairly rapidly by most modeling standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are expected to warm up fairly rapidly by most modeling standards. lol frustration and sarcasm are understandable from Chitown posters, and this is the perfect thread for it, but on a serious note I highly doubt Chicago winters will be any different in 8 years. I read the same thing in a 1998 article on the future winters of the Lakes and the computer forecasts for the next decade..and the 2000s winters promptly turned colder and much snowier. What Chicago is seeing is crazy this year not only because they have gone through the warm/rain and cold/dry rigamarole as many others here have, but because the snowfalls that HAVE traversed the region have circled around the city every which way as if a magnet were in place. They saw a below normal snow season last year, and appear en route for a possibly historically below normal season again this year (though half of winter is still left)...but the 4 years prior saw over 150% of normal snowfall. Climo balances out unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres a fun stat... The last 10 Februaries (2003-2012) avg snow at DTW: 15.2" (this includes the disaster 0.9" in 2004 & 3.8" in '06) The previous 10 Februaries (1993-2002) avg snow at DTW: 7.2" (this includes the good 15.2" in '93 & 17.1" in '94) Talk about decadal trends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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),(storm happened on the 26th),...... 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, t ime flies, and so does our life. We get older LOL...

IWXwx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 About 5 1/2 weeks of met winter left and I haven't broken into double digits for snowfall yet. FWA barely has (10.2") but I am trying to refrain from complaining too much because most in our subforum is in the same boat. I will hopefully be over the 10" mark by this time tomorrow. I will still be hopeful until March 1st and after that bring on the warmth and severe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had so much hope at the end of the last torch that this highly amplified, PV dominating pattern would deliver something. Even if the southern stream got suppressed, at the very least a stream of clippers would affect us. Instead, looking very likely I finish January without a 2" snowfall. Another 20" winter on the way. 1 in 170 years leading up to 2009-10. 3 in the last 4 years. Thank god I'm alive to witness this ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I didn't think we'd beat last season's 19" futility total, but unless something changes in a big way we have a shot at destroying that mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what you need to shoot for...top 10 least snowiest seasons for Moline. 1) 11.1" in 1901-02 2) 11.6" in 1986-87 3) 12.4" in 1924-25 4) 13.0" in 1921-22 5) 13.6" in 1965-66 6) 14.0" in 1920-21 7) 14.5" in 1927-28 8) 14.8" in 1889-90 9) 15.3" in 1949-50 10) 15.5" in 1908-09 1920's well represented. 16.9" last season not even top 10 worthy, lol.

SpartyOn Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 About to head into the final stretch of Met Winter with not much to praise. What a disaster season for 70% of the sub-forum. MBY isnt that beter, but some would praise a blanket of snow that stuck around to collect the dirt-grime. Hope Feb at least gives the region a big daddy before the ice storms and crocus poping of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to shoot for if trends persist. I hate to ever root for futility, but it may end up coming to that at some point. At least you'd have a record to look back on and say I survived this abysmal no-show winter. We can make T-shirts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best i can root for is a sub 30" winter which has not happened since 1952-53 here. Only 3.3" away from the modern futility record which was set in 48-49 with 18.3". Should have that by Monday morning. Then there may be more LES later next week so yeah it will be near impossible to not get above that. Gonna be hard to stay under 30". Can still make a solid run into the top 10 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
