XfireLOW Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It is pretty astounding how different my last 30 days compares to most on here. I am now sitting on 90th percentile for snow depth depth for the date, just had a pretty intense 6 hour blizzard yesterday, and woke up to widespread -35 to -40 readings this morning in northern minnesota. I am curious how the rest of winter is going to play out. I know I am in the minority here hoping for the pattern of the last 30 days to come back soon after next weeks warm up.

I also hope this pattern continues through the next 3 months, lots of snow to the north where people can enjoy it with outdoor activities and warmth and non snow covered roads to the south to make travel to work and back easier. Perfect setup to me, I'll take this every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect setup to me, I'll take this every year. No thanks! Always hated that mindset "up north". Well, I dont live "up north" but I do live in a cold climate with dormant vegetation half the year, give me snow! And I drive in it too (30 mile commute each way). Although...I am a bit confused by this post. To date, we have not had a warm winter, nor have we had a light snow winter. We have had our share of dicey commutes already. The next 2 week look hideous, but they do not look good for the north either. Hoping for the pattern of the next 2 weeks to last a winter would be depressing for us but detrimentally bad for the north who rely on snow. Luckily, its not going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'd like a snow covered yard, but with each year I care less and less with my backyard. I'm typing this from Taquamenon Falls area of the UP this moment. There is probably 30 inches on the ground and the smell of wood burning stoves in the air. I worry more about these areas losing snow than my backyard. Whatever happens, happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yeah, when I forget how f'real winter looks, feels, & smells I head north. Just a few hours car ride is like going to another planet in winters like this. It's a pretty nice feature of pure MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 We're gonna take a solid snow loss up here but there's enough on the ground to survive it. Plus with the thaw and freeze cycle, the snowpack will harden up. Then the cold comes back and we'll have another epic 2 week stretch where feet of snow fall.

cyclone77 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Coming up on the 22nd anniversary of one of my favorite winter events for this area. Back on Jan 18-19th 1995 a storm dropped a narrow corridor of 12-18" of snow from southwest MO up into northwest IL. The band was so narrow, that IIRC Peoria and Chicago received very little snow, while MLI picked up 15". Columbia Missouri received 18", and Springfield MO had 14". We had several hrs of thundersnow, with near zero visibility where I was at, which was in the QC. Unfortunately this was right before DVN's 88D went operational, so there's no radar data for eastern IA/western IL. LOT's 88D was up and running, but the heart of the deform is only partially sampled by the elevated beam height this far west. One of the more satisfying events for me, as we weren't expected to get more than a few inches of snow the night before the event. Most forecasters had the heaviest snow falling from Quincy to Chicago. This is well before I started following models, so I have no idea what they were showing. I'm guessing it was a last minute NW trend, ala 12/1/06 that helped our area. Here's a little satellite and analysis loop of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Melted off some of Thursday's ice as the high was just above freezing but the trees still have a very thin glaze. Pavement also has gotten slippery again after melting earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I don't know if it's the lack of snow, but this month seems like it's been warmer than this map suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Without any additional measurable snow, ORD would dip below average on January 25. Question is whether there will be 9 more days without measurable snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 MLI is now 1.6" below avg for snow for the season. Got off to the very fast start back in early Dec, but basically nothing over the last month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Little bit of ZR here overnight. Enough to make the sidewalks slippery but barely enough to get the trees sagging.

weatherbo Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Today will be the 4th day without any snow. That's not happened in over 6 weeks. The high yesterday was 38... the first day above freezing since Nov 28th. Snow depth is down to 22". This will end up being the longest mid-Winter thaw I've seen since living here. I know Winter will return with big dog snow but the next week is going to drag! The positive is I've gone through a lot of wood already and a warm spell will help balance that out.
