When we were sending pictures (family group text) he was like wow that's crazy the storm was a dud here. Now today he just sends, "we had more snow today than we had in that storm". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have some larger implications on how the rest of February plays out The SPV is taking a beating. That's one of the reasons why the pattern is and has been volatile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Had some good squalls here too. Dropped 0.8" of snow as temperatures warmed from 26 to 36 so its compacting/melting.

Had a couple decent squalls here, but again missed out on the better/wider bands. Going with 0.5" since midnight. Nice to see snow on snow even if small. Was hitting pretty good after work with car thermo at 29F (it reads a deg or two high I noticed). Cold snow for the first time in a month. Noticed snow blowing off the roof of the industrial building across the street at work. Didn't have anything like that last winter. If it happened, it wasn't on a work day.

If it happened, it wasn't on a work day. I remember quite a few days with blowing snow last winter but like you said, all depends on if you were at work or not. Would be cool to see it blowing off a big building like that. Actually last February had a couple of good storms. Including the one on the 2nd and 3rd. I don't care how short of initial expectations it was, we still had 8 to 9" of snow on the ground February 4th. And then of course the Winter before was even better with snow getting up to 14" deep in mid February. The last few winters certainly had periods of highs and lows but overall I don't have complaints unlike others on here. A more widespread blah winter like this one makes you appreciate the average snow seasons more lol.
