Fall/Winter '24 Banter and Complaints Go Here

[Chicago Storm]

Is this the latest we've gone without a single event thread?

many years ago, we’d have threads for some of the clippers/hybrids that some have already seen. like the one today/tomorrow, for example.

so, it may very well be one of the latest for that sole reason.

Josh, where we at with snow totals so far compared to the last 5 winters. Obviously we've had slow starts recently but I feel like this winter is the most zzzz. Obviously 2019 was a good start. Looking like we're gonna go into the new year with like 3 inches?

Or go into Spring with less than 10 inches total by March.

Off on our annual snowbird sojourn to the Coachella Valley to visit my parents. Mom isn’t doing so well, (Dementia) so trying to give her as much grandkids time as we can while we can. Picked a good week to go this year, lots of zzzzz weather in the upper Midwest. Coming back the 28th, hopefully right before a pattern shakeup.

We will be going into the new year without a 1" snow event.  We've received 1.5" total from four events... a few tenths here, a few there.

Here is proof that it did snow in December once upon a time.

I'll take a stormy rain system at this point.  The endless weeks of nothing to track is getting tedious.

The more intense rains and storm potential look like they may be in the Ohio River valley. I think multiple rounds of light rain events though. The Euro has some intense rain storms barreling through the eastern seaboard. A volatile spring like pattern coming for early January.
