Yeah or the winter of 15-16 around here. Had the November 21 snowstorm (the downtown Chicago/Alek screwjob) and then a good snowstorm in late February. I guess I should mention sleetmageddon on December 28. Other than that, nickel/dime almost nonexistent imby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Deedler posted this map last week on facebook, it really represents the deficit locally compared to around the area: Looks like the mitten effect.

Yeah it is just horrible timing every event though, because even the UP has done very well. It is why I do think there is still a chance our number comes up this year. 2007 was mostly quiet until late August then we had a small tornado event followed up by the mid October outbreak.

I hope that you're right. I then would like to see that carry right on through for a winter 2007-08 redux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no more textbook winter for the storm loving crowd then 2007-08. Especially those that aren't fans of lasting snowcover. We never had the deep snow like we would see in 08-09, 10-11, 13-14, & 14-15, but it was simply a parade of winter storms. A solid 70-80" of snow over the Detroit area PLUS several ice and rain storms. For me though, 2013-14 will always be king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under that 102F in S Bend, having an in-ground pool built. It was too hot for the crew working down in the massive hole (with zero breeze) so the owner cancelled the day's work. Pretty frustrating when your new pool doesn't get up and running until after the heat breaks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Extreme drought has popped up for the first time in southern Iowa. A few spots down there received some rain a couple days ago, but the widespread soaker did not materialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I have relatives southwest of Houston. Things could get interesting there, at least from a rainfall perspective if not wind (pending track of course). They are not natives and have only been there a few years so this will be unlike anything they've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 First major strike in Texas since Ike in 2008, I hope your relatives are taking this serious. I remember I was in Florida visiting my grandparents in port Charlotte, FL August 04’ when Charley struck. We evacuated, and met my dad/uncle in the panhandle, they drove from champaign, to come rescue us. My grandparents neighbor a native of the area for 50 years chose to ride out Charley, said it was the single most frightening moment of his life.

weatherwiz Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 If anyone is interested in an NFL pick-em league we have two leagues which members on this board can participate in. One of the leagues is free and has been an ongoing tradition of Eastern/American Wx for at least 10 years now. This league is done directly through this forum in the sports thread. The second league is entering its third season here on the boards and is a pay-league. He platform we've used in the past is yahoo, however, a different platform may be used this year. If you have any interest in participating in one or both of the leagues check out the following thread. The more participants, the more fun the league, and for the pay league, the more potential winnings! https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/50203-nfl-pick-em-2017-2018/#comment-4596041 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Initially, I was bemoaning that very idea - however, I think I've come around to wanting this seemingly persistent NW flow to just die altogether.

If that were true then Feb 2017 and Dec 2015 wouldn't have put up double digit positive temp anomalies for the eastern 2/3rds of the country. And last fall wouldn't have been one of the warmest on record for the CONUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some computer problems at home then took vacation to see the eclipse. See post in Eclipse thread. Plus the weather wasn't really all that exciting.
