weathergy Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 At least you have 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 to hang your hat on. We're on a multi-year true snowstorm drought down here in Columbus. Hope you guys down in Ohio get a big dog soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 For the crap sandwich that this winter has served up here, it's had some moments. Two 6"+ snowstorms and a big sleet storm beats nickel and diming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two 6"+ snowstorms and a big sleet storm beats nickel and diming. It has been plain miserable here. I have tried not to be bitter but today is just too much. A couple inches of sleet mixed in with rain and a lot of contact melting. Now I am told to wait, there is another storm brewing. I'm sick of brewing. Bring on *SPRING* and do it now!

Jonger Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Typical storm for the midwest, nothing to get upset over (if you got snow). The standard 4-10 inch band. Our systems are comparable to electric circular saws.... They are scary as heck until the cord gets pulled out of the wall. That's essentially what happens with the system gets more than 800 miles from the gulf. The cord came unplugged and its now the blade is coasting until it stops. Peak at radar, it looks exactly like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I still get suckered into thinking that the biggest storms out here *could* drop 18+ inches, but it seems like it takes something just short of a meteorological miracle for that to happen.

Just under 11" now. Thats incredible. Since 2005, even DTW has had 2 with 6 storms of 10"+. Imby its been 2 of 12"+ and 7 of 10"+. That is incredibly good for us. Since 2005, DTW has had 26 storms of 6"+ (I dont have my data available to count attm, but its probably the same or a few more). Climo would indicate in that time frame we should have seen 13 or 14. Ill say it again....its been good times for snow lovers all around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My big dog down here: bigdog.jpg I have watched a lot from the sidelines this winter and am so fed up with near misses, dry slots, marginal temps. Next week's system will feature cold rain again after another decent weekend. I keep hoping we have a decent weekend and then it doesn't flip back.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 The saw analogy works for Iowa. Our biggest storms tend to be capped around a foot. I don't think I've measured a foot in my lifetime. It's tough enough to just get six inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of several big dogs where we got 8-11" and just missed out on some higher amounts, but even here I can think of at least 6 or 7 footers since grade school. GHD1 and NY99 both were in the 16-18" range. Think 87 was right around a foot. Feb 22 '94 gave us like 13-14". Jan '95 15". GHD2 was 15.x".

Meanwhile Alek has pulled in two 20"+ storms in 5 years. Lol. Snow climo just isn't that great without the lakes in the Midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past couple decades...not so much.That is completely believable. This area did not do great in the '60s and while we had good '70s winters, they didn't compare to areas in SW MI. We had more warning criteria snowstorms this decade then the vaunted '70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's worked out pretty good for you, no? Compared to other areas I suppose. A 7 inch November storm, A big sleet storm, A 14 inch early February storm and the recent 10 inch storm were the highlights. December was of course a dumpster fire and January was nothing special. So, while we made out better than most, it still wasn't great. Depending on what March brings, I could end up with above average seasonal snowfall though. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
