harrisale Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've spent the last few summers on the road so I haven't posted but I'll be around locally this summer so will definitely be keeping up with the severe action. My favourite type of weather to photograph. Getting warm thoughts just thinking about it... weekend sub 0 temps may change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I post rather often in the summer as well. Of course the board is more laid-back, but I wouldn't call it 'dead' in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a while though since we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern_IN_Wx Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Schools cancel for flurries and chilly weather around these parts. So, I have enjoyed the stress free nature of not having to worry about getting to work and deal with a child who has the day(s) off from school. Silver lining.

Powerball Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 There was no reason for me to pop in this past summer from basically July through September nothing happened around here. I would check out every now and then but what are we talking about 82 and sunny? Did the bolded even happen in June 2015? It probably did, but of course with most of the days being overcast (cloudiest June on record) and rainy (one of the wettest Junes on record), it would obviously be overlooked.

cyclone77 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Well, I know one thing...the next time I hear that we're heading into a strong El Nino winter I'll know we're in for a top-tier winter for pure disappointment. Take away that freakish Nov system and we'd be shooting for futility records at this point. Kind of wish we were, as at least then we'd have something to show for. Oh well. 3 out of the last 5 winters were well below normal, so maybe we've put some good karma in the bank for the next few winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 There's a few more posters around here in the spring and summer. I know DLL and Bo stop in from time to time. The list is a lot of shorter though. This winter would have been worse than 11-12 if it wouldn't have been for the November snowstorm. Sleet storm was awesome, but it was sleet not snow.

Gilbertfly Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 A couple of kids at a "needy" age (not meant to be negative...love em both) has really slowed my roll here. Less time for really digging into stuff unless it's a bigger event. Lack of time has also made me even more IMBY centric. Although tracking that east coast bliz was fun. I'm ready for either piles of snow or some warmth...end of the day it doesn't matter what I want, but this has been my mood for the last few days.

Chambana Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Even then not all of us cashed in on the freak November storm, granted I did get 3" (our biggest snowfall of the season) places just north did far better. Its been pretty bad, with just 1 WWA, and no winter storm warnings issued, it's on par with 2011-2012. Oh well, just glad to get a major clunker out of the way. Plus my son was born last week, so kinda glad we're not getting rocked with major cold and snow right now, getting the little man out in that would not be fun.

We have only had below normal snow once in the last 8 years (2011-12) before this year.

Baum Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's possible that the seMI streak of AN snowy winters just ended. It was due.

Wasn't the winter of 2013-2014 one of the coldest and snowiest in history? I think that bank was already cashed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's possible that the seMI streak of AN snowy winters just ended. Like Josh said, your current streak is only at 3. Overall, you've been on a nice run though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Like Josh said, your current streak is only at 3. Overall, you've been on a nice run though.Yeah. 2007-08 thru 2010-11 were 4 consecutive above normal winters, and 3 of those 4 were in the top 10 all time! Then the one below normal (2011-12), which while a totally sucky winter was not even in the all time top 20 for snowless, then another 3 straight above normal, including the all time grand prize in 2013-14.It is completely unrealistic to think such runs will keep up, but it is possible that the number of snowier winters may be increasing.
