michsnowfreak Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thank GOD this below normal stretch was finally in winter and not MJJA ... summer of 2009 was a nightmare!!

BuffaloWeather Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I love the heat and humidity in Summer. Give me 80-90 with dews in the high 60s all day. Makes the beach more more enjoyable that way! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 You are correct about the winter stats (and yes, I will be doing some stats/research, but I think its save to call this the most severe winter for all things combined here). But you are off on the 4-month stretch. DTW saw 5 consecutive months below normal DJFMA 2010-11. I enjoyed that as well as the summer 2009 Ooops...I didn't even think to check that timeframe. I just didn't remember that time being all that cold so I ignored it, plus the heat that summer kind of made that winter fade from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can invent a time machine to relive the summers of 2010-2012 repeatedly as far as I'm concerned. Are you all in school or get summers off or something? Because all a hot summer means is me sticking to every possible surface as I'm driving to work and back. Yuck. I'm clearly doing something wrong here.

mjwise Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 2010-11 was my favorite winter...until 2013-14 came along! I remember it being memorable for snow, not really especially cold though. I think the record that was set that will stand the longest from this winter will be a calendar month with a double digit snowpack the entire time. I could see that taking another 50 or 100 years to happen again. That sort of serious, sustained snowpack is strikingly rare in this area. It's so common for us to have mid winter thaws and the ones we had this year were kind of weak and not very sustained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm 56, so I won't be around when most of you are telling your grandkids about the winter of '14. But I can imagine the stories. "The drifts were so high you had to wear an oxygen mask to climb them. The potholes were so large and deep you could ice fish on them." It has truly been a memorable winter. It is a year that will be brought up every time there is talk of comparing historic winters in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else do you think my granparents walked to school uphill in 6 feet of snow during winters when 24" TOTAL snow fell from Nov-Apr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
