This winter has alresdy been way better than that one was, though ironically that January was better (January was the best month of that winter, it will very likely be the worst of this one).

Hoosier Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 2011-12 vs. 2016-17 comparison of percentage of average snowfall through January 18. The green in IN/MI in 2011-12 is partly a result of a late November 2011 snowstorm, but it still counts in this case since these maps aren't just meteorological winter snowfall.

Stebo Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah as bad as this winter has been it is nothing like 11-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Overcast until just a few minutes ago and now a hazy sun. Temp is 38 which has been the high so far. More dripping today than yesterday even tho yesterday was warmer. Snow depth down to 18-19"... Should be twice that. A lot of foggy/drizzly/murky days ahead.

UMB WX Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Graciously Looking for a little education here from the, Pro's! I'll Try to keep this short, sweet and half understandable. Heading up to family in the Ashland/Bayfield area of Wisconsin. They've been expecting me since Tues but one thing or the next has reared its head, so here I am still in Milwaukee. Now the weather looks iffy for traveling, wouldn't be so bad but I'll be pulling a two place snowmobile trailer 330 miles.. Mind you this will be my first time doing such a thing!! So I'm looking for the best 8 hr window to travel in over the next few days. There is no rush to get to my destination because I have to, it's I want to be up there obviously with family. Will be traveling from Milwaukee to Ashland, WI. So, who up for the 8 HR Window Challenge!?!?! Thanks Much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work great if you believe that's my best window over the next few days. I could leave tonight even but I don't know if I could beat the weather out. There is no rush to get up there - again I would like to be there ASAP. It's just getting up there in the safest conditions and that looks a little challenging. Thanks much, Hoosier.

Jackstraw Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Its sucked here so far but that's not completely unusual. Except for the occasional Nov.early Dec. surprise our snow season around here usually starts the middle of Jan., and so does my complaining if it doesn't happen. Drizzle here on and off all day with rain in the forecast for the next 7 days and maybe some sun one of those days. Not counting on the sun forecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe for you guys up there it's better than 11-12. For those of us along/south of the US 30/US24 corridor, it's been pure suckage. EDIT: Sorry, I just read the responses after I replied to your post. We usually get some LES/clippers to keep us happy, but even that has not been the case, let alone the big dog.

At least there was some LES. However, they've all been west or WNW flow events, in which MI prospers. We need a good NW or NNW flow to cash in.

SchaumburgStormer Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Definitely better north of I-80 than '11, as that winter I did not record a 1" snow until mid-Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stratus broke up completely in the far northern / NW suburbs. Had a fair amount of sun in fact. But yeah, coming home, you could definitely see the fairly sharp low cloud gradient by the time I go to about 10 mile. In fact, you couldn't even tell the sun was ever out once I got into the city.
