bowtie` Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 All you weenies wanting winter weather are nuts. All frozen precipitation sucks. And freezing rain on top of sleet is the worst of the bunch. Start up the calliope and "All Skate" around here when I was heading home from work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Still early, but I'm leaning towards a D or D- winter for a grade unless we can get a quality event between now and March. Even though we have a good shot at getting close to avg if we can muster another 10", it's been a very unsatisfying winter. Almost every snow event has been at night, and there's just not been much to get excited about overall this season. Systems downtrending in the final 48hrs has been an unfortunate theme this winter. We need a good widespread winter storm with some balls to wipe away the lameness that dominated this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, we might average an extra 1C spread out over a year, but this is simply pattern related. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm well beyond the years of being excited about 1 to 3 inch snowfalls. Now, if they trigger a multiday LES event in Michigan, that I'm more than happy to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Pretty brutal winter, especially with the abysmal model performance. Tough to get excited about any potential storm, as inevitably, they shear out and end up as garbage within 36 hours of the event. Ready to turn the corner into spring, but I have to keep reminding myself that we just started February.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As jonger said, just a bad pattern this year, it happens. We've "lucked" out since we are far the North, but it's been a bad pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Never have I seen getting to 6.8” on the year in such an abysmal way. Literally 1/2-1.5” snowfalls lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s March and April that I struggle with, been pretty chilly springs lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I'm on the north side of the mediocre winter climo for this sub so it's really got to be bad for me to complain. I need to pick up 20 inches to reach average this year. Wouldn't be so bad if I had a year in the last 8 that was 20 inches over but only had 2 that were at or slightly above average since I moved back. The only good thing about this trend is slowly lowering the average thereby lowering expectations. Geez, next year if I get 6 in 24 hours with a 25mph wind I'll be comparing it to 77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Good to know that winter is happening somewhere. Deadhorse, AK had a wind chill of -80 at 6 PM local time on 2/7/2020. Temp -47 with a SW (offshore) wind at 15 mph. It's their 2nd coldest wind chill on record, behind the -85 in January 2012. Coldest AK wind chill in 2020 so far is -84 in Nuiqsut; temp -53 with a S wind at 12 mph on 2/7/2020. The blog below said -82, but the METARs confirm -84. http://ak-wx.blogspot.com/2020/02/north-slope-cold.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a bit you can tell it feels kind of stupid for continuously chasing it, but then quickly resumes chasing after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how many storms looked at least decent in the day 2 to 4 range only to be crap when they hit. I can count 3 within the last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the November 11 storm way overperformed and the Jan 18 storm met expectations, i laughingly thought this would be the season when Winter storms got better within short range. Since then its the frequency of snow has picked up but every event (except LES) has ended up much less than it first looked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
