Sounds like you are right...south Chicago was apparently quite screwed. MDW reported 0.6" in November. Its a coop obs but from what I understand he is a local historian so Im sure his reports are very accurate.

Outdoor skating is pretty neat. Taken at a local park on February 15th

Wow, you have two nets. That is awesome! I want to play there. I need to find a place around here with nets as we use garbage cans for them. ^_^

 

We used to have several nets when they had the winter festival in a park in the city, but no longer do that. However, they did just open up a huge ice rink downtown right by the water. Here are some pictures. (They even have curling, which is awesome!)

I'll tell you one thing though. These guys are getting mighty lonely. =(

Any talk about this "lake-effect" event that LOT was mentioning? I have 2-4 in the P&C for tomorrow with this hazardous weather outlook:

 

LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOULD BEGIN LATE TONIGHT ALONG THE ILLINOIS LAKE
MICHIGAN SHORE...POSSIBLY IN TIME FOR THE EARLY MORNING CHICAGO
METRO AREA RUSH HOURS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOULD GRADUALLY FOCUS MORE TO THE EAST THROUGH
MONDAY AND INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THE NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS
LAKEFRONT COULD SEE SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW MONDAY INTO MONDAY
EVENING WHILE THE NORTHWESTERN INDIANA LAKE FRONT WILL HAVE THE
GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. SOME ACCUMULATION IS
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE LAKE FRONT.

EARLY INDICATORS SUGGEST UP TO 1 TO 3 INCHES FOR THE NORTHEASTERN
ILLINOIS COASTAL AREA AND 2 TO 4 INCHES FOR THE NORTHWESTERN
INDIANA COASTAL AREA. LOCATIONS FARTHER INLAND THROUGH THE CHICAGO
METRO AREA SHOULD LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION.

 

 

But looked at all the hi-res models and don't see anything that would indicate this type of thing.

I'm not seeing it either.  Parameters are very marginal...probably good enough to get some snow going but I'd be pretty surprised if those accumulations pan out.

Detroit should end December with just a trace of snow. This will make it the 2nd least snowy December on record. Interestingly, depite a December that was COMPLETELY barren of any snow on the ground at any time....when you look at the season total, the 4.0" ranks as only the 17th least snowy start to a snow season thru Dec 31st (tie with 1899-00). When you look at the fact that we have had 7 days of 1"+ snowcover (all in Nov), this ties with 4 other years to rank as the 32nd least amount since 1906. Its insane to think that we have seen white ground this season more than about a third of previous winters. Its been one funky, upside down start to the 2014-15 winter.

pretty interesting...

looks like we'll add another to the total, as it's currently 0 degrees.

2014 will go down as one of the coldest years on record in Upper Michigan. Several locations recorded the most sub-zero days for a calendar year. This is a stark contrast to 2012, one of the warmest years.
