The historical odds of a white Christmas in Toledo are 45%. Since 1874 when records began, Winter has actually COOLED in Toledo by 0.6°. The Dec 25-Jan 5 period has warmed 1° since 1874. The frigid 1970s are a dream come true for the crowd that loves to pump climate change into every article. Starting a dataset in 1970 gives an automatic regression line that's going to be more dramatic because the 1970s winters were so abnormally cold. I've seen it time again and it's laughable. It's not a 30 year average. It's not a 100 year average. It's not a period of record average.  A more accurate wording would be "since the coldest time in our climate record, we have warm…"

Great perspective, and insight, thank you!

That does stick out like a sore...well, you know.

I wonder what was the storm 3,644 days ago that resulted in blizzard warnings from Arkansas through Ohio?

 

 

Our last bliz warning in detroit was ghd1 I think and I forget what yr that was, but I'd assume blizzard warning criteria is diff in ark and Ohio. There needs to be a 78 type storm for dtx to pull the trigger on any type of blizzard warning.

Days since the last blizzard warning (issued by gunshy DTX no less) and a big dog are not one in the same. Since that blizzard warning, we have had multiple double digit snowstorms (including a 17" storm) and the snowiest winter on record. It is entirely plausible to have a blizzard warning with a 2" snowfall. I wonder if they would actually properly issue a blizzard warning if it was not a large snowfall (the publics perfection and actual definition of a blizzard are quite different). They did feb 11 2003

Yes it's plausible but dtx would not. We suck, I dont blame them.

With the recent advent of the Snow Squall Warning, there's even less incentive to issue a Blizzard Warning for those short fuse events such as 2/11/03.

If traffic is going to be at a standstill anyway with the winds for even just a couple inches of snow, might as well make it worth it & get all the snow that was being modeled two days ago, too.

But alas, the snow totals are fading hard with every 6hr increment. It sucks to see.
