It's been some time since I have checked in on this forum. Saw you guys were getting some LES, so thought I'd check in. I see Bo is still making everybody drool at the mouth with his deep winter shots. I miss the beauty and friendliness of West Michigan. The wife and I have talked about moving back years and years from now. Didn't really snow much more overnight. Maybe another 1/2" or so. A little windy so I have drifts and bare pavement on my driveway. You are welcome to come back anytime you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Scored a very nice 2.5" overnight. Was really ripping around 04z-05z. Great little holiday season surprise 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Have a few 50 degree days in the point early next week. With the ground being pretty dry maybe we can get some over-achieving temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met some wonderful people though...and most of them are NOT natives to New York state. Pretty odd. I’ve traveled all over the world and upstate New York has some of the nicest people ive ever met. You should see how they all come together during large lake snow events. Everyone helps each other out. Buffalo is known as the city of good neighbors. I know Syracuse has been going through a difficult time economically which could lead to some bad attitudes. Also the pace of life is different living in the country compared to a city/town. But I’ve never seen that which you just described anywhere in New York. Obviously everyone’s situation is different. Go to Pittsburgh or Boston or south Florida and talk about self absorbed. New York City is its own animal and the pace of life there is just different. It’s terrible in those locations.

Very untrusting. Living in the Midwest for ten years, it has been a big culture shock to come back to the East coast. Many of the people in the Syracuse area proclaim to be "introverts" and don't really seem to enjoy being around other people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Picked up a half inch of snow overnight into the early morning hours followed by a very cold brisk day. Regardless, this is a December to forget. Detroit had a 9.5" of snow in November and is at 1.4" in December so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Just measured 2.8" right now. This wasn't picked up by any model btw. It's still snowing so I'd suspect we'll hit 3.0" when all is said and done. A few pics I took about an hour ago, around the Vaughan/Brampton border (5 minutes north of Toronto proper). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Point has 46 for a high tomorrow which would be record breaking for this area. kinda reminds me of a two week period or so last winter where it was dead and mild but then winter came roaring back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 This is now among the 5% driest starts to December for Chicago. Lowest December 1-20 precip: 0.10" 1941 0.11" 1896, 1962 0.13" 1872 0.15" 1988 0.16" 1913 0.17" 2019 0.18" 1989 0.21" 1900 0.23" 1930 If 0.06" or less falls through the 27th, which looks quite possible at this point, then it would be the second driest December through that day of the month. More substantial precip does look to occur as we get into the last few days of the year so the month is probably unlikely to finish super high on the dry list.

IWXwx Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 My point-n-click shows 50° for a high from Christmas Eve through Friday. We are seriously grilling out for the kids and grand kids on Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 According to the NWS point forecast we won't be going back down to, or below freezing through at least next Sunday. Looks like mid 50s the next 3 days. DVN at only 0.14" precip for the month, 0.18" here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 55 in my forecast for Christmas Day. Stoppped by the butcher shop and picked up 4 gorgeous filets, twice bake taters, fresh asparagus! Grilling out here as well on Wednesday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 DVN upped the point to 57 for Christmas day. Maybe 60 is attainable? Gonna have to wear an ugly Christmas tank top instead of a sweater lol. EDIT: Record high at MLI for Christmas day is 59. The Euro shows 55 for a high, and it's been under doing temps by several degrees. For example it only has upper 40s for today, when mid 50s look likely. Looks like a good chance for a new record, and the first 60 degree day for Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Could be near the records at ORD on the 26th. The 26th happens to be a vulnerable day with a record high of just 55... every other day from 12/23 through 12/31 has a record high of 61+. Record high min is 45 which also could be a close call.

Yeah, still locked into at least the 5th wettest year on record but it would be a big fail to not move up the list. It was the wettest January to October for Chicago by a decent margin (46.12", second place is 43.74"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomp2mp Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 55° here in White Lake, forecast high was 51° Getting some cirrus moving in, so I've probably hit my high for the day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ovweather Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Louisville currently blow-torching at 63 degrees. The record high for Christmas is 68 degrees. That record could fall Wednesday. Looking at the visible satellite, the snow pack from last week's storm across central Illinois and Indiana is trying desperately to hang on.
