SpartyOn Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 For some, that will work (to freshen up the snowpack and see snowflakes flying). Melt this crust and start fresh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Still at less than 2" on the season, and I woke up to... rain! Just flipped over to snow but it looks like November out with snowflakes falling and melting in the puddles in the parking lot. I mean if the north side of a Clipper... in late January... in the morning... can only produce rain... blow it up. Blow the whole thing up and let's get some nader action going.

Chicago WX Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 36˚ and rain on a clipper that goes west and south of here in late January. It's a small system granted, but I'm feeling a little GHD-like frustration right now. I mean come on, this is silly. If it weren't for the Jan 5-6 clipper here, I'd be at the bottom of a weather pit of despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 1990's winter making a huge statement this winter in the D.the cold November, mild December, and snowy January is reminiscent of the 90s winters, though this.January is a little colder and retained snowcover better than 90s winters. If it keeps up a mild February with little snow then a big march snowstorm. Im hoping our recent stretch of epic February's keeps up instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hey better then nothing........ I think I'll take every flake that falls. Just sad that all these clippers are kind of falling apart. We can't even get nickeled and dimed now with just penny storms showing up. Heck I was gone to Boyne the past week (ignoring the models) and when I got back I find the bitter cold blast is still out past day 7 and is even now looking to be in jeopardy. This winter is becoming quite comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 pretty close for detroit, though we are beating toronto til you get to 12". These numbers are above long term climo however. Since 2004-05 at DTW 6"+: 24 8"+ 11 10"+: 5 12"+: 1 14"+: 0 That's actually pretty good. 2.4/winter over the last decade is probably 150% greater than normal for you.

Jackstraw Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 So far the only good news out of this is my work trip to Boston has been cancelled tomorrow. No desire to be anywhere in that area let alone when this thing winds up and smacks them over the next 72 hours. Almost .25 in. of woulda shoulda coulda been 3 inches of SN here so far. I can't help but think this thing was doomed from the get go for us by the flow into NW North America and the warm SST anomalies in the NE Pacific. Like a bad Singapore Sling (not that there's a good one lol) too much pineapple juice. But what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow poke Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I remember about 10 years ago there was LES off of St.Clair that gave Grosse PT up to Harrison TWP 3-6" of snow. It can happen Do you or anyone else have any type of write up/info of this? I would really like to see it. In all my years of following weather on this side of the state I have never herd of that much, or any for that matter, LES off Lake St Clair. Thanks for any info you could pass along.....

Chicago WX Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Since February 2007 IMBY. 6"+: 10 10"+: 5 12"+: 1 (17.0" with VD 2007) Averaging a little better than one 6"+ event/year is above average. 10"+ storms are way above average. And six of the last eight seasons have had 30" or more snowfall. Of course last season was the best of the best. It's been a very good run here lately.

Thunder Road Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 No ****ing way. 2' maybe? 3" with today's crap. I employ a semi-Lagrangian approach to measuring snowfall, so that comes from: 0.7" the day before Thanksgiving at home outside of Philly 1.2" with that messy WAA/fgen set-up two weeks ago ~1" today with the FAIL Clipper. VPZ has about 7-8" on the season since it cashed in with a Clipper and an Arctic Front while we were in Phoenix for AMS, but I mean still... that's pretty pathetic.

Thunder Road Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Really though, I guess it's more of a "non-Eulerian" or "quasi-Eulerian" methodology if you want to get technical, sinec I'm still observing at fixed points, but those fixed points are a function of time. But I digress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman99 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 St. Louis had 3.5 of snow in November. Only .2 in December and .3 this month. December was over 4 degrees above normal, and I'll be damned if this month will be above normal too, probably a degree or so. Non winter here so far. Absolutely abysmal.
