Those that do not, why are you interested enough in this field to participate or lurk on this forum? For me I study plant diseases and I am always interested in the environment. Expand I was never good at biology in school haha. Perhaps I'll message you come spring when I do my spring gardening. I work in Finance and Accounting. I graduated from school back in 2017 and now I’m working towards my CFA designation. Though it’s been delayed right now because of Covid. I've always been interested in weather since I was a kid. It’s always been a passionate hobby for me. I just couldn't see myself working as a meteorologist though. However, I spend time learning more and more about weather every day because I find it interesting. I also find learning about space interesting too.

RC has thoughtful analysis and shows the envelope of possibilities and gives substantial reasoning for each of them. Then it unfortunately verifies on one of the weaker outcomes. Not his fault just the bad trend we've been in for several years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetjanet998 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 found this interesting info on the 78-79 winter for IL that details each storm published in 1980 at one point the entire northern 1/3 of the state had a snow depth of at least 20 inches with some places almost 40 Midway had a snow depth of at least 15 inches for 5 weeks straight NE Lake county IL had a seasonal snowfall of around 100 inches! https://www.isws.illinois.edu/pubdoc/RI/ISWSRI-94.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only 4 years old and lived in KC at the time...would have been amazing to experience. Yeah...I believe Antioch, IL had 105.6" of snow, with a peak depth of 38" and around 115 consecutive days of 1"+ depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 we had our first sunset after 5 pm a couple days ago. Next big milestone on our march to spring is 10 hours of daylight, which we'll get on Feb 2. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 With the usual caveats on a 16-day GFS map...it's interesting that Chicago's daily low temp records during the entire period from Feb. 7-25 (with one exception*) are all from 1936 or earlier...and most were from the 1800s or very early 1900s. Probably due to the recent UHI and the colder overall climate back then, which allowed snow cover/depth to generally persist further into February both here and in the source region. *Record low of -8 on 2/19/2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Kind of annoyed that this storm is sinking South of here but can't get them all. Hopefully this is just the beginning of an active period for our region. May Feb be the opposite of the zzzs that ruled most of January. This is why I always lol when people who are off to slow starts in December start talking about seasonal futility when snow chances last until April. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
