snowstormcanuck Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 More cold and dry on the 12z GFS following the brief mild up. I'm sure Wyandotte will find a way to get 20" through the period. Rest of us are SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Barring a significant rally, this winter will probably get a lower grade from me than last year. The only real highlight has been the Dec 26 storm and even that was sorta a fringe job here. Coldest airmasses have come with essentially bare ground and haven't recorded any below zero readings. Somehow managed 20" last winter with only about half that so far this winter with a mild period on the way which will take us toward mid month. Hard to have much confidence in March coming through given recent history and area climo which shows there have been a lot of dull Marches so it might come down to what the 2nd half of February does.

cyclone77 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Not sure what I graded last winter, but I'm sure it was probably an F. Even though we've done even worse this season I would probably actually grade this winter a notch above last. Simply because at least there's been more to track. Last season the whole winter was a morgue in these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Pessimism seems to work. Might as well try. True. 03-04 had like 10" the entire winter I believe...that is the worst one I can recall since moving here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 True. 03-04 had like 10" the entire winter I believe...that is the worst one I can recall since moving here. I moved here in January 2004, and we had flooding rains around that time. I can't recall much of anything the rest of that season, other than a few dustings.

Harry Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Let me help you out. DTW through yesterday: 24.9" +0.5" FNT through yesterday: 23.6" -5.0" Be careful with that as it is my understanding that not all has shared in the joy out that way. Even out this way the seasonal totals now vary greatly over short distances which is more common when most of the snow has been via the lake. But yeah if they are at normal or above they should not be saying anything. Granted i would be irritated a bit if it all comes via 1-2 inches while others are getting clocked with 4+. etc. Got a bit of ways to go here to reach normal. Should be at 42.3" as of Feb 1st.

Hoosier Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 This might be a kick the garbage can week for LAF. Could be fringed or completely shut out by multiple systems by the time it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya. The "train of crappers" dropped nothing more than a dusting that entire stretch. This latest blitzkrieg of clippers has yielded only 1.5" of easily sublimated/compressable powder. It's now been over 2yrs (GHD '11) since we've had a snowfall of more than 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Time to move on. It's an I-80 north winter now. Kinda depends on where north of I-80. By the way it is looking ( barring some freak miracle later tonight/tomorrow. We know how that works out usually NOT. lol ) just about everyone in every direction from here ( except Cyclone ) will have seen a event top the 3 inch mark.

Harry Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yep. 3.4" with the Boxing Day "storm". Nothing else over 1.9". Craptastic. That it is. I really feel for you guys and Cyclone who has now officially had it worse then everyone else on the board. Have a feeling though this next clipper is headed your way. Model trends are in your favor at the moment. I can deal with a miss IF it is for someone who has been getting the shaft. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The map Geos has been updating in the other thread is fairy accurate, though now after clippers #1 and 2 you can chop off some areas near MKE/RFD and portions near STL.

STL just put out a snowfall map - now I can take away the right amount of area that got hit by 3" or more last night. Have gotten to the 3 inch mark but yet to pass it here. Talking single event. Not the drop 3 in the early am and then another 2 inches the following night or whatever. That is not a single event. Via the lake. Still have yet to pass the 2 inch mark via system snows. Been fringe city here with both the lake stuff and systems. Probably one of the very few areas left north of I80 who can say that or may be able to say that by tomorrow evening. Hoping the clipper can pull a surprise and come a little further north and end that streak for here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there's some isolated areas in SC MI west of I-69 that haven't quite touched the 3" mark from a system. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and i did hit the 3 inch mark which was on Friday via the lake. Just have not exceeded that. A few miles south of here on south side of town no. Could be a few spots as well near Lansing. Not enough reports from that area so unsure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
