Snowstorms Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Weekend storm went from being a potential 6-8"+ storm the other day to a quick hitting 2" now. Another failed storm in this winter. On top of a failed "extremely cold" January. I've appreciated the constant 0.5-1" events we got this winter and the occasional 2" clipper. But at some point it becomes a bit tiring. Pretty close to just hoping for a Morch at this point if things don't turn around, but that almost feels like wishful thinking with the way things have transpired. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocATL Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Some gratuitous flakes in Naperville and frankly, I’m enjoying it. With at least the prospects of substantial snowfall to come, it’s nice to just admire the flakes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pics! Saw a few yesterday also. I saw more flying south back in early - mid November than I've seen in 5 years. I thought "Oh boy, it's either gonna be a snowy or cold or both December or January." Got more snow in January than the totals each of the last 2 years and yes, it got cold as crap. We average 24 - 30 a year here. Hasn't happened since I think 2020 and that was nickel dime hell if I remember right. This damn rubber bands gotta snap at some point. Yep, that's a good sign for us that it's probably over. Maybe a wishful thinking March dog lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocATL Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I’m totally happy with 3 or 4 inches from a synoptic snow compared to what has transpired in Chicago thus far. Plus another event this weekend. It could surely underperform and leave us with 5 or 6 total. That’s plenty for kids and the bunny hills. Sure we wanted big dog but that’s just not in the cards this year..

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Ryan Hall does great stream coverage for non enthusiasts during tornado outbreaks but holy crap do I hate his clickbait video titles and thumbnails, crap like this will make people take actual big events less seriously. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Back on the futility hype train for me. Gotta have something to root for right? Just gotta make it through the next 5-6 weeks without too many nickel and dimers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King James Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Tough times. 10 days ago things looked banging. Actually got lucky with the snow a couple days ago but to come away with *maybe* 5 inches during this active period is sort of a bummer when all said and done. Lots of tracking and very little payoff 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Yeah the tracking was pretty fun, but overall it was kinda meh. Still a lot of red numbers on this map unfortunately, even after the busier pattern. EDIT: Also looks like it's been a bummer winter up where Bo is. Haven't seen him around here for awhile, guessing he quit the site again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquette is ~85" as of 2/14/25. A bad year there but most everyone in the MW (of side of LES belts) would be shattering records if that was your current year to date snow. Bo's location likely has a bit more than 100" but still well below normal. The Keweenaw is doing better as the winds have been favoring them more so with LES. Marquette does better when there are more storms which have been lacking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see how things turn out, but it just doesn’t feel like one of those years where unwanted cold and snow linger well into April or whatever.

Basically no synoptic all winter (except for late December rain of course), just semi-daily 1-4" for the past month but overall can't complain 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way this winter has been, I am eager to start seeing the golf courses open early 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
