I made a joke post before that it was good they didn't upgrade to a BW for blowing dust. But by what someone posted about whiteouts in the Thumb region and how plows were being pulled and no emergency responders after dark, I think they could've/should've upgraded some of those counties tbh. Macomb/Wayne gonna go another 4k days. Eastside sucks. Snowcover of 2 inch or less capital of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 The extent of the fatalities from the blizzard is way more than I think anyone expected, they're still finding people dead in Buffalo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone here was so focused on the total amount of snow, but the conditions themselves were brutal. When I was outside the evening of December 23rd trying to blow snow drifts out of my driveway it literally was hard to breathe when I came inside. In Buffalo you had those conditions AND feet of snow. Whether it was people who were trapped in their cars and froze to death or medical emergenciesthat first responders couldnt get too, had to be a terrifying way to die. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None. I think the blizzard conditions lasted over 40 hours straight. It will go down as the deadliest and worst storm in Buffalos history. The highest wind gust was 79 MPH, highest snow total was 53". All of Erie county got over 3 feet of snow which is quite expansive and well over a million people in total were affected. The airport was closed from Friday morning until today. The city of buffalo had a driving ban for 6 days. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Something is wrong in that, what I assume to be a personal station output, as it froze my computer up. Also unless there was a long power interruption, that does not make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Wasting peak winter as has been the trend the last years. 1.5” season total, with nothing on the horizon until at least middle January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot like wasting most of April-June with a chilly eastern trough, a giant death ridge, weak split flow, or similar such patterns that are blatantly hostile to severe weather in the central US. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Severe weather has been lacking in WI for at least the past decade. Storms seem to die in MN before they get here and we get dry FROPA the following morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just in WI, but the Plains and Midwest in general (although northern IL did have an active streak particularly from 2015-'16). Granted I could have seen several tornadoes in the last couple years if not for boneheaded decisions at the last minute for which I have only myself to blame, but it would be nice to have more than 2-4 legit opportunities (that don't immediately go to linear or clustery crap like 5/30 and 6/15/22) per season. Seems the only quality events are the sneaky and/or out-of-season ones, like yesterday in central IL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frog Town Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I feel like last year, at about this time, everyone was in the Acceptance stage of grief (Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance). Then, low and behold, February comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
