Chicago WX Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 i know ottawa has been getting snow quite consistently the past couple weeks, was surprised to see them still at only 33 inches so i double checked and you are right (not including todays snowfall) man, what a lousy year for them, hopefully a big 2 months upcoming Hey now, I can do addition and conversions you know? But yes, a lousy season so far up there. Yep, let's hope for the best up there in the next 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherdavewi Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I think something is fudged, I'd have a hard time believing Canadian Soo > American Soo by over 25" Nope, this is completely true. Sault Ste Marie, MI can't seem to get anything this year, and really neither can northern lower Michigan north of M-72 (including the Gaylord area). Most spots are well below normal in snowfall, with some exceptions of course (Alpena is doing OK). I just broke 60" for the season here in town with the snow this morning, and should be well over 100. Second year in a row with slack snowfall up this way.

weatherdavewi Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It really is shocking though a lot of their snow is LES and orientation of the banding is key. Absolutely! The mean flow over the past 2 years has been almost due north, with some interations of north/northwest, both owing to persistent moderate/strong negative NAO signature so prevalent all of last winter, and through December of this winter. Both flow regimes obviously target locations well west of the Soo. However, we have also seen our fair share of west/southwest flow regimes up that way, targeting the Canadian SOO but again bypassing Sault Ste Marie as that flow comes off land. It's going to be interesting to see the next few months as northern Michigan almost always finds a way to make up quickly for lost time (last winter being a huge exception up this way).

OHSnow Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Will we ever officially have another below normal snowfall winter? It looks like winter climate is RAPIDLY changing. At KYNG, the top four snowiest winters on record have all occurred in the past 5 years: 1. 102.8 2007-2008 2. 90.2 2006-2007 3. 88.0 2010-2011 4. 86.5 2008-2009 5. 85.3 1950-1951 Last winter (2009-2010) was also well above normal at 75.7 inches.

Hoar_Frost Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 52.0" seasonal total here as of 3 PM, 6 February, at Geneva, Ill., about 35 miles west of downtown Chicago. Had 48.9" as of the end of the blizzard on 2 February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I think something is fudged, I'd have a hard time believing Canadian Soo > American Soo by over 25" Another factor to consider with respect to the two Soos is that the snowfall measurements for Soo, Mich., being shown on that page by the Gaylord WFO are taken at the airport, which is inland considerably (comparatively speaking). There is often much more in town (closer to the St. Marys River and the Ashmun Bay, an inlet of Lake Superior). I, too, believe overall that the airport in Soo, Ont., has been at a better vantage point fetch-wise this year. My dad grew up a few blocks away from the locks in Soo, Mich., through the '60's, '70's, and early '80's, and he was going on the other day after the blizzard about how he remembers the severe winters a few years either side of 1980 having similar storms, both lake-effect and/or synoptic, every week or two, and there otherwise being at least three or four inches of snow every day. Snows have definitely been lacklustre up that way in the last few years, especially this winter and last. On the other hand, locales in western upper Michigan, especially on the Keweenaw Peninsula, seem still to receive plenty of lake-effect snow. For example, the Co-op station at Herman, Mich., was at 146.3" seasonal total as of 31 January with 36" snow depth (which had been 40" just a few days before), and, barring a warm-up that lasts continuously through the late winter and spring, is on track to have a 200"+ year.

There's a reason we in northern Michigan are already in D0 (developing drought) in early February. Haven't seen it nearly this early before.
