nice to see the cold air lurking in canada and waiting to pounce. I'll be ready for another chill down after this weak sauce torch part of next week.  probably avg BN normal to end the month and hopefully all of march and april  are well below normal just to aggravate the local masses even more.

 

Gorgeous shots, Freak!

So after this east coast storm, Philadelphia (43.3" as of 2/12/14) will have more snow than Alpena, MI (45.5" as of 2/12/14) for the season-to-date, which BTW Alpena is currently ~10" below average for the season-to-date.

 

Pretty impressive.

 

More importantly, they will have had much more impressive rates at times than the likes of Milwaukee has had at any point in the season (1-2" per hour rates is the best the airport could muster so far, and locally I don't think I've seen better than 1" per hour rates at any point this season).  The word "rippage" has hardly been in my vocabulary this winter.

Hey, it's still winter and I for one wouldn't mind some more snow. The bitter cold I can do without. I don't know what's progged up in Cheeseland, but down here, highs should be close to 35° warmer than a few days this week. It sure won't feel like weak sauce torch. Sunscreen and thongs baby! Pics forthcoming.

:lmao:

 

Already feels warmer with the temp at 20° already. Forecasted low busted horribly. Furnace didn't kick on as much last night.

 

Nature is turning on the thermostat!

I got better things to spend my $$$ on, than high heating bills! :lol:  Daddy needs bigger TV!

 

lol, okey dokey. I just got my latest electric bill yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised. Though I did put a rather large over/under on it. :D

 

I may have spoke too soon in my previous post...as it looks like Saturday morning has a chance at another sub-zero low. Pull the blinds Mottster. ;)

the east coast will always have a better snow climo...we've hashed this out before. clippers are boring, big dogs rule, etc

Either way, for any east coast city (excluding New England) to be outpacing a place in Northern Lower Michigan in terms of total snowfall is impressive. It also goes to show how much the wealth has been spread this season.

No matter what happens from now through Spring, I simply cant complain with the winter we have had. Snowcover has been so far above normal this winter its ridiculous, (weve already obliterated the old record for days with 10"+ snowdepth, at least since 1906), but the ONE thing I can say...is if we could hold off a torch (which it appears we wont, at least to some extent) with the cold looking to return, we could have a northern MI style snowmelt in the spring. Bitter cold is not at all needed, sunny March days with temps near 40F would still have that snow on the ground while the body would feel so warm lol. Not like a fresh March snow that goes POOF when the sun comes out. Oh well cant control the weather.

MEX MOS already has low 50's for next Wed and Thu for LAF. Shame it'll ruin the impressive cold departures we've built up so far this month, but a torch was inevitable. Oh well...a nice run for the first almost half of February. The negative double digit daily departure streak (almost all -20 or lower since the 6th, save for the 9th) is pretty impressive.

We have a lot of snow to melt but I wouldn't be shocked if we tag 60 late next week, especially if an ECMWF type solution pans out with a deep surface low going to our west.
