I mean such a sprawling area of a foot in a west to east area, not along a north to south band. There are no instances of any storm since 1974 that produced a foot of snow in Pittsburgh and Detroit, and pretty much everywhere in between. Since 1974, there have only been six unique [eliminating duplicated days from the same storm] storms that produced 12"+ at Detroit and at Pittsburgh, none of them were from the same storm. Both cities had storms of more than a foot in January 1978, but they were different events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been plenty of 10+ storms but most have been pretty isolated/smaller areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 A day late for the 15th anniversary because I forgot yesterday. December 8-9, 2009 was one of the few double-digit total snowstorms I remember in my adult life, and perhaps the only one that occurred pre-Solstice. This video was taken at the house where I lived with my parents at the time, near Stoughton, Dane County, WI. What also made it memorable was that it was heavy, wet, pure heart attack paste. Don't want to guess at ratios but certainly on the wetter side of 10:1. The weight of it combined with the gusty winds at the height of the storm brought down multiple large tree limbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 Taking the whether it would've been better to have a torch or not this Dec, I think its obvious what I prefer. Snow cover brightens things up from the dismal Nov darkness, but also creates a colder BG state and I really hate cold. Last few days its been frigid; when I'm out there its misery. Doesn't matter what you do but very cold overnights bring sunnier early daytimes (at times) with less wind which I can hack . On top of that I'm deteriorating steadily in general. Worse for wear as they say. It was already -10C/14F by 6pm this evening going to get my first -20C/-4F windchill overnight blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of, that very thing occurred this morning . First of winter. I don't exactly know if blue skies were forecast from various offices but I doubt it had any better than partly sunny or mostly cloudy. It got far colder as well closer to -20C - not the windchill! At least -3C colder. First in maybe a month since there were no clouds: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted Thursday at 12:53 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:53 PM Regardless of what happens in January and February, the incoming torch just in time for the holidays will significantly lower my grade for the winter as a whole. Minus a cold and 1” otg in 2022, I don’t think we’ve had a white Christmas since 2017. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
