Hoosier Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I noticed the February F6 for ORD is way off. It's showing 13.3" of snow this month when in reality there has been 7.0" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 To state that the turnaround in snowfall at ORD has been impressive would be an understatement. Few winters that started off as slowly as 2020-21 turn around so dramatically so quickly. A few other similar turnarounds are listed below. The 2020-21 change is even more impressive imo because it has been done without an ultra big dog storm on the scale of what occurred in early January 1999 and early February 2015. 2020-21: Snowfall through 12/31: 3.5" Snowfall through 2/9: 32.5" (Final Snowfall total: ???) 2014-15: Snowfall through 12/31: 2.9" Snowfall through 2/9: 36.7" (Final Snowfall total: 50.7") 2004-05: Snowfall through 12/31: 5.7" Snowfall through 2/9: 33.9" (Final Snowfall total: 39.4") 1998-99: Snowfall through 12/31: 1.2" Snowfall through 2/9: 30.8" (Final Snowfall total: 50.9") 1938-39: Snowfall through 12/31: 3.7" Snowfall through 2/9: 28.4" (Final Snowfall total: 33.9") 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could simply be good luck or perhaps there is a reason that a super slow start is not quite the death sentence that it used to be. Can speculate as to why. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Went back to my other post and added the final snowfall total for each of those years. 1938-39 and 2004-05 largely shut down after early February in the snow department, while 1998-99 and 2014-15 did better.

Maybe it's some sort of nws glitch?For some reason, the new climate program added totals from 1/31 to the February F6 form. The amount is correct in table above but the listing below is where the program is erroneously adding in 1/31 amounts.

I notice the same for December. Shows 11.0" but we had 9.6"...it added November 30th 1.4. I wonder if they can fix it? Whenever you have snow on the last day of the month it will make the next month wrong lol. Interestingly, it still counts the snow properly for the last day of the month (ie Nov 3.5, Dec 11.0...should be Nov 3.5 Dec 9.6. And then Jan 6.4, Feb 7.5...should be Jan 6.4, Feb 6.2). So anytime measurable snow falls on the last day of the month, it counts it twice. Although that's only an f6 issue, climate reports remain correct.

I've been doing it since 2006, and it's a great way to keep IMBY records. However, when I take a 7AM reading, it records it for that day. The result is that if 2" of snow (or rain) falls on the last day of the month, it is actually recorded at on the first day of the next month. But at least we don't count it twice. lol Anyway, to keep my personal records accurate, I have to make notes concerning such events, because I'm not getting up in the middle of the night to check my gauges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighTechEE Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Not sure if anyone has posted this or not yet from the 12z GFS 16 day total snow, BUT I've never ever seen this much fantasy/eye candy snow modeled for SW Ohio before! This is in the HOLY SH*T category, 3ft for SW Ohio in the next 16days, hell if half that falls it would set records!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even need to see the northern plains section of this map to know it’ll be damn close to a shutout here with everything suppressed south. Oh well, might as well freeze Lake Superior over.
