Wouldn't it be funny if Chicago ended with above average snow for the season after the "snow drought"? The seasonal average is 36.3". ORD is at 26.1" and average to date is 32.9". Not completely impossible to get to average but it will be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I guess we should never count any snow any time of year south of OH or PA . And there's still snow on the ground here but yes the sun clearly has an effect this time of year. Although whether snow melts in an hour or stays on the ground til it becomes a petrified crust, that's why there are stats for snowfall and snow depth.

The snow is too wet and sloppy all that qpf wasted on marginal temps. The snow melts too fast. The snow stays on the ground too long and becomes stale. There will always be an excuse from a snow weenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
