wisconsinwx Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Stebo, let's say the average for May and June t'storm days is 11 combined (which it is for Milwaukee). I think anyone who loves storms has a legit complaint if they get less than half their average number of storms in this period (which I know much of SE Wisconsin has done and many throughout the Great Lakes as well).

Sure that would work out in SE WI because you guys haven't been getting rain and storms in your locale like everyone else. We have here, they just haven't hit everywhere. Case in point yesterday dmc said that it was a bust, even though southern parts of Metro Detroit near Ohio had 3-5" of a rain. Just because something doesn't occur at a singular point doesn't mean it is a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their discordant wails are the only sound for the winds, like their hopes, have died. They have forgotten what it is to feel sun and sky or storm. But it does not matter. There is no weather worth experiencing anymore. The bank clock has been replaced with a painted sign. It does not change. It is 45F. It will be 45F tomorrow. It will be 45F forever. In his skyscraper lair, ALEK chuckles. The lever of his HAARP weather control machine is set to ZZZZZZ and that is where it will stay until human thought and human memory cease to be.

Geos Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Here the constant light to moderate showers are getting annoying. I wish there would be one good storm and that would be it for at least 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I need to monitor this thread more. I enjoy reading these posts. Here's mine: I had 3" of water in my garage from yesterday's monsoon. I spent all last night and this evening drying it out. Another monsoon rolled in tonight and I now have 2" of water in my garage. Enough already.

KokomoWX Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I am usually treated to fast moving linear lines of storms but even those this year have been weak or broken or both. Here is to a better July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was many weeks ago and pushed us into monsoon season. Needless to say, none of my landscaping is done. Real awful part is that I was mowing twice a week (minimum), and just had another surgery yesterday stemming from my auto accident in February. so I am unable to mow for awhile. From Saturday (when I last mowed) to now, it already needs to be hit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim's and my interests in particular are very similar as we're both south of the city by quite a bit. We will probably do fairly similar many times except in storms that have more of a west-east layout of the rain/snow line or a significant lake component.

Hoosier Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 It would be ironic if the next winter rocked LAF-OKK.. I'd consider a quick trip to LAF if it looks like there's a big ice storm...that's the one thing that I missed out on in my time there. There were some moderate ones but nothing really big. Have a lot of great memories, weatherwise and otherwise. Too many weather events to list but I'd say the 3 standouts are the 2/13/07 blizzard, the GHD 2011 sleet storm and the 11/17/13 tornado outbreak.
