Expand to be fair, I said theres been too much complaining in average or above average snow seasons. NOW is the time to complain. Remember, I love snow as much as you. I just have realistic expectations of our climate. We are not supposed to be the Arctic, but we are supposed to be a LOT wintrier than this January has been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The storm system later next week represents sort of a worst case scenario for snow lovers for the QC/Chicago crew. After getting bypassed to the northwest all season only to have a big snow pass by southeast. I thought last winter's sub 20" season was bad, this one may be even worse the way things are going lol. Guess we'll see if Feb can deliver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 With this multi-year run of Ninas, was thinking about what the next big Nino could be like. How warm could it get? The strong/super Ninos have a return rate of about once every 10-15 years. Last one was 2015-16, so good chance we'll see it again sometime in the next several years. Of course some may argue that this winter has seemed like a Nino. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Just wondering how many people tend to miss the 'old' days for being a weather weenie. There were not model runs every hour but rather a few not as accurate models every 12 hours. There was a lot more surprises (both ways / good and bad). The 'mystery', for lack of better word, these days are gone. Sure today we get over performers and busts but these are a lot more localized then area wide. Honestly, with today's models we have seen those outcomes modeled at some point during 3 days leading up to the event. So was it really an over performer or bust as you had seen that outcome was modeled. Now I will say it is great to have today’s models with the many wonderful advancements. As a weather weenie that began in the mid-70s and 80s, there are times I really miss the days of going bed with a 1" or less forecast only to wake up to 8-12" snow event. Likewise, a T-storm waking me up at 2 AM when nothing was ever in the forecast. Of course there were some big bust too there were very depressing. Note: To be clear I talking about events once we get within 3 days and not the future casting of models beyond 3 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
