DocATL Posted Thursday at 11:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:38 PM imagine referencing the 12Z NAM as gospel for an entirely different region? Next level. Btw...you do know many of those areas have not had a legit snow event in over 3 seasons.Imagine discussing weather on a weather board. Of course they have had several bad winters in a row. Having lived there, they are very accustomed to the rug pull. Anyhow, part of the fun is to see what the models put out and then see how much they change.. In other news, it’s absolutely white out conditions in the western suburbs right now near Wheaton.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I manage 80 sites in PA,NJ, MA, for a national removal firm. Trust me, it's been bleak there as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, it's been bleak there as well.Man it really has been. I was in med school in Washington DC in 2003 when we got >16 inches. The city was crippled and I was stranded while out at a bar. Had to spend a night with a girl I met at the bar but that’s a whole other story! Then I was in residency in NYC in 2006 when we got 26+! That was nuts because they had no where to put all that snow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 67" Jan/Feb 2014 in Marshall. Very fortunate to have experienced both of them, tho my 78/79 in SEMI was not quite the snow-fest Chicago was treated to.

I was a bit young to remember the spring details but a quick look at the numbers it shows March, April and May '77 were overall mild. I remember the early Feb sunshine and warmth (with snow piles yet). It suddenly felt like being let out of arctic jail. Had news route back then and had to be out in it every day for weeks on end. Good thing I was young and didn't realize having blue fingers wasn't normal. Not a super deep snow, but there was enough to ride snowmobiles where I was in Davison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all my years following weather, never seen more of a screw zone than 1995-96. Crazy that on the opposite corner of The Mitt I was living the snowiest non-stop winter of my life with 220+ inches in mby. I don't think I travelled downstate that season because we hosted holiday gatherings. I never knew of the contrast. Oh, and Traverse mostly got shafted by the LES event in December that literally buried The Sault, or it could've been even more insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storms missed from every direction. Couldn’t even reel in a clipper. it was that bad. This winter feeling eerily similar thus far.

DocATL Posted Friday at 01:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:58 PM Last nights event was perfect. Commute home was dicey but the drive to work today looks ok. Nice holiday scenery. Give me three or four more of these and I’ll be ok with winter. Hopefully mid January will bring more chances.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, Charleston, West Virginia had about 4x as much snow. the big one for that was the massive HECS in January that buried the MA and NE, that one threw a slow moving conveyor belt of snow east to west across the state....we almost picked up a foot from that one and it was a complete surprise, even the morning of we were forecasted 1-3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to see how shafted Detroit was that year, had no idea. 27.6", and the best event was a surprise snowstorm March 20th that dropped around 6" with some thundersnow. Chicago was screwed too. It's one thing to be screwed because everything is going south or north, but in 1995-96 a narrow corridor from Chicago to Detroit (excluding the lake zones) was screwed because almost everyone N, S, E, & W had a good to great winter. Again, never seen anything like it. Fortunately in the years since, Detroit often made up for it being in the jackpot zone many times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were VERY similar to the sucky 1950s winters in terms of both snow and temps. It's why I would laugh anyone's ear off who is our generation and uses the centuries old line "winters when I was a kid...". The 2000s and 2010s winters were like a different world...just leaps and bounds better winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the precip screams Nina, I think they tinker more with temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
