Decent back of snow back near the QC to Madison rotating southeast. I think they need 1.2" to avoid the top 10? I'd say it would be likely to get that tonight if temps were a bit colder but temps/crappy ratios may hurt, so I'm not sure. Still have several days though if tonight falls short.

I think they get most of it tonight, then grind out the rest by the weekend. Though it wouldn't shock me if they get enough tonight to cover the 1.2" needed.

Winter 2013-2014 had just 4 days above freezing How did you ever survive Indiana? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I moved to N lower and my snowfall went from 30" a year to 120", I thought I was in snow heaven. Then it went from 120" to 240" when I moved to the Huron's. Now, 200" of snow doesn't seem like that much to me anymore as crazy as that sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_4184 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Going from about 30" as well to 150-175" after being here for several years it doesn't even seem like that much either. I guess you just get adjusted/acclimated. Maybe towards keweenaw would be a bigger change still. Anyway expecting 4-6 through tomorrow, LES parameters looking pretty good for the weekend.

OBS is -RASN, and even here to the west where it has been mostly snow for a while now...It's struggling to even accumulate on the grass. Gonna be hard to even get 0.1" at ORD, let alone more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the last thing in the way of Chicago futility. I did a little research myself and was mind blown when I saw that Jan 2017 might end up being the second least snowiest January on record at YYZ (since 1937). Here's the top 4. I didn't do top 5 and beyond because the rest were above 4". Very unusual for YYZ to see less than 4" in January. 3 of the top 4 have been since 1988. 1988: 1.9” 2017: 2.9” (so far) 2005: 3.07” 1947: 3.82” YYZ and the surrounding area has been dealt with alot of bad cards in recent years. This is just another piece in the jar. Horrible!! 11-12, 09-10 and 06-07 are all in the top 5 for least snowiest Winters on record, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
