OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Scattered snow showers today certainly made skiing more enjoyable with the brisk breeze. Due to sublimation the snow depth at MSP is down to T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribou had 109 inches in the winter of 1966-67, where are you getting 36? Caribou has never had such little snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember reading it was well into the 50s here just a couple days before. In the 6 days preceding the blizzard, the high temps at Chicago were 45, 50, 56, 59, 65, 54. Really an extraordinary stretch of warmth for the dead of winter. Then BAM! The clashing airmasses probably contributed to the fierceness of the storm. At Detroit, the 6 days preceding the storm had high temps of 40, 45, 53, 61, 54, 60. Here the storm was a mix of snow/sleet/freezing rain, with a record blizzard just to our west. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 There's a reason why I'm the one that usually starts the complaint thread. Pathetic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Perry Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Yeah, this winter has been a dud. Lots of upcoming chances for cold rain with maybe a dusting of backside deformation snow. I truly don’t believe we will have an area-wide snowfall this winter. Still plenty of time for that to change but time is ticking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plenty of time for that to change but time is ticking. My complaint this morning was too much snow on the x-way. Roscommon hadn't touched S 127 so it was basically two tire ruts in the slow lane, and 4" in the passing lane. You're at the mercy of the slowest snail driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plenty of time for that to change but time is ticking. Depends what you mean area wide snowfall. You're never going to get a snowfall that hits the entire subforum. We have had area wide snowfalls in southern MI so far (obviously nothing heavy). Going forward the pattern looks more active in Feb, so where storm tracks/baroclinic zones set up will be telling as to who gets some fun, but that is something with little skill more than a few days out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be much worse if I was sitting at 7" and Waterloo and Dubuque were at 35". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
