Chicago Storm Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Accumulating snows in excess of 2" after March 15 are rare. Speaking of... 11 out of 18 April’s from 2000-2017 featured under 1” of monthly snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk We definitely don't have the snowpack Rockford has, but overall the ground remains covered in an average of probably 2" of snow/sleet with only a few patches of grass here and there and some areas deeper (like most of my backyard). I'm grateful and it's been the only saving grace. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mississaugasnow Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 41 minutes ago, McHenrySnow said: Yes, we had two big snows in April 2019, but the month as a whole averaged above normal temp-wise. Snow in April, even several inches, lasts for a day or two and then it's 70º again. Spring in the Great Lakes isn't supposed to be sustained warmth. Never has been. Winter in the southern Great Lakes is also never supposed to be sustained cold and snow on the ground from November-March lol. Toronto-Detroit-Chicago are supposed to see numerous thaws with temperatures normally getting into the 50s almost every year in winter. I understand April will (normally) never be wall-wall 70s and sun but January is never (normally) supposed to be wall-wall 15F heavy snow and lows of 0F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McHenrySnow Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 even more off-topic, but what is the difference between "pro forecaster" and "meteorologist" on here? also, how do you get this recognition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, pro forecaster is someone who has a forecasting job but lacks a met degree. Have to go through the admins to get either one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacka11 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think we should definitely expand the options for recognition titles. For example a growing number us could benefit from a "CLOWN" tag. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be earlier but I am going on a roadtrip to Utah. I was getting excited watching the trends about a week ago, hopeful on the SSW but I think I know how the winter is going to pan out based on the crap we have been dealt last few years. Warm till Mid feb, a few storms. Then the snow melts with subfreezing highs with due to the sun angle in mid-late feb. Then cold and snowy March to the beginning of May. This is not a forecast, it is sure to happen because it seems to happen every year now On a different note, I took a trip to northern michigan last weekend (up near grayling) and not even their small creeks had any ice on them. Also, they only had 6-8" OTG. Talk a bout crap. Seems like you can write off December and most of Jan for most of the last 15 years and our only month that was any good has been February. Seems like we are losing that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like we are losing that now. Thanks to "Modoki" everything in this warm earth era. This is a big reason why the GL's have warmed the most of any N Lat region in the CONUS. Seems whether it's a Modoki Nino or Modoki Nina, we get screwed the worst. Pretty soon, we'll be reading about "Modoki Neutral ENSO state". Just you watch. Snowmobile track racing is on life-support in our state. They actually race on ice and temps just refuse to cooperate. Ice sculpture events during "winter-fest" = forget it! Record Ice fishing rescues -> happening! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
