Spartman Posted Saturday at 01:43 AM Share Posted Saturday at 01:43 AM The last month of Meteorological Winter. We kick off February with a blowtorch over the next several days, but rain and lack of sun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted Saturday at 03:15 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:15 AM Why the negative vibes in the tag for this thread? Now in the body of the thread, knock yourself out and be as negative as you like. But to get all sides of every coin to add to the discussion, I think Keeping the thread title bare would be better for adding all posters. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

February definitely not a certain dumpster fire. Plenty of potential and a much more active pattern than January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted Saturday at 05:08 AM Share Posted Saturday at 05:08 AM Yeah like most recent winters, February looks to potentially be the most active month for storms. Definitely a signal after around the 5th of at least some snow chances for the forum. A reminder that we have had winters in the past that look like they were going to be futility winters, and then we have a major rally for snow in February and March. Case in point 22-23 where Madison and Green Bay had ~50 inches of snow accumulate from Feb 14th to April 2nd. We still have quite a bit to go for winter, even if the last week hasn't quite felt like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted Saturday at 01:24 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:24 PM February could pass our January snowfall total by tomorrow night. I’ll take a February 2019 repeat please. That month featured 39” of snow here. NWS wants to play ball in the morning AFD. All these events should slowly chip away at the seasonal snow deficit but we have a lot of ground to make up... We`ll have to do our best February 2019 impression to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hasn't happened all winter, so there's definitely a change afoot. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted Saturday at 04:05 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:05 PM For the 10 year anniversary of the Superbowl snowstorm, I updated the event recap page with another one of our forecasters, and we also the added new graphics for that page to the 2011 GHD Blizzard event recap. https://www.weather.gov/lot/2015_02_01_WinterStormhttps://www.weather.gov/lot/2011blizzardSent from my Pixel 9 Pro using Tapatalk 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted Saturday at 05:24 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:24 PM Rain to snow last night caused a dusting of snow and icy sidewalks to start Feb. With some flurries this morning it has now snowed on 31 of the past 34 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted Sunday at 12:00 AM Share Posted Sunday at 12:00 AM Picked up a few tenths today. Ground is white again. Might grab another inch tomorrow night but someone a few counties north is going to jackpot 3-5” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted Sunday at 07:48 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:48 PM Nice band of moderate snow moved through this morning. Short but sweet. 0.8" of powder. Now at 15.6" on the season. It'll melt tmrw but looks like there's potential moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last winter was obviously a well discussed mild train wreck, but during the brief spell of deep winter last January we got up to 7" snow depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted Monday at 05:07 AM Share Posted Monday at 05:07 AM Hennepin and Ramsey counties were added to a WWA for 2-4” tonight. I’m only expecting ~1” imby but we’ll see. The gradient from less then an inch to 4” is going to be very narrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted Monday at 01:09 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:09 PM MLI and DBQ should cross the 20 inch threshold below normal tomorrow. If Chicago was in this much of a deficit there would surely be a thread dedicated to it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted Monday at 01:39 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:39 PM The models verbatim don't look all that promising right now, but with the impressive baroclinic zone that's appearing to set up, conditions would be ripe for a major winter storm in this subforum (and no, I'm not talking about the ice storm thread) at some point in the next couple of weeks with just a bit of buckling in the upper level pattern. Meanwhile, I'm loving the 80s and near-record highs we're going to have all week! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted Monday at 02:29 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:29 PM Picked up about an inch at my house. Half that much at my office 10 miles south. Driving up to Little Falls MN this morning for a job, it’s halfway between St. Cloud and Brainerd so I’m expecting at least 2-3” there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted Monday at 02:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:31 PM The 10-year snowfall drought at Cleveland has reached an astounding deficit of 263.4 inches, or an average of 26.34 inches per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted Monday at 02:49 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:49 PM Using the full seasonal average of 63.8 inches for 2024-2025, a total of 659.5 inches should have fallen over this 10-year period. A positive departure of 263.4 inches means 922.9 inches would have fallen, or an average of 92.29 inches per year. So, a 10-year period with a similar positive departure would be a 10-year period where the average annual snowfall was between the value for the 4th & 5th snowiest individual winter on record in Cleveland.
