Chicago WX Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 My 7AM was 0.8" with .04" liquid (20:1). The temp was only 13 at the time. Still have SN here and 19, ratios probably dropping a little. Looks like I may end up with at least 2", still have some decent returns to my SW. Overperformer.

Stebo Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 62.6º inside. Nice and crisp. Not in my house, Bro's gf keeps this house a nice toasty 74 and guess who has the entire upstairs where this 74 degree heat rises to. Lets just say blankets are optional and a window or 2 have been known to be opened a hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Back in high school my friend's house was a sauna. They had a wood burning boiler set up (water pipes in the floor)... It would easily be upper 70F's in there... I use to ask him if his mom would lay around the house in her bra and panties (milf)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Still snowing lightly here, with an event total of 1.4" (water content 0.07"). Not bad at all! Snow depth about 5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ended up with 1.5" imby and 1.7" at DTW. Overperformer for sure! Tonight it is gorgeous outside, and its EXACTLY why I like living in a dependable, "nickel and dime" winter climate over a feast or famine one. The snowpack has a fresh blanket over it, all the big old snowbanks have that velvety fresh look, etc. Looks like mid-winter at its finest, exactly why I said that crusty glacier would come in handy as a base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can make it until at least mid to late February without any real thaw then I don't know how a winter lover can complain about this winter. We have about 10 inches of snow on the ground and the temp hasn't been above freezing here since the thaw around New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have about 10 inches of snow on the ground and the temp hasn't been above freezing here since the thaw around New Year. Yeah. I knew you mustve had some deeper snow in the thumb. Here, we havent had the deep snow yet, hell depth-wise we peaked at 12" in 2009-10, 14" in 2008-09, and 10" (numerous times) in 2007-08...yet thus far in 2010-11 peak depth has only been 6". HOWEVER...depth has been 4-6" most of the time since mid-December, and the only bare period since the beginning of December was Jan 1-4th, so again, that is a great winter for a true winter lover (not so much so for those just into big storms).

Powerball Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 This is crazy, apparently this year in Nashville is snowier than last year to date with 9.3" thus far, and that will surely go up tomorrow night. And it's just insane to think several states & cities in the south have seen bigger snowstorms in the past two seasons than majority of the midwest SE of Iowa-Wisconsin-Nebraska-Kansas.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Suprised by how well today's snow worked out. I'll measure in a bit but we're probably between 2 and 3 inches. It was beautiful this evening on campus. If it wasn't such a hectic day I would have taken some photos of the snow shimmering in the light.

And it's just insane to think several states & cities in the south have seen bigger snowstorms in the past two seasons than majority of the midwest SE of Iowa-Wisconsin-Nebraska-Kansas. Nashville is at 9.3" this year, and was 0.7" last year to date, above normal this year and below last. They may get a slushy inch tomorrow. I dont get whats so crazy about that? And thats last sentence is really stretching it. Just as an example, the Feb 9/10, 2010 snowstorm officially dropped 12.9" in Chicago, 12.1" in Toledo, and 8.6" in Detroit. Please tell me what places in the south have eclipsed those numbers. And certainly to make it fair, i dont want to see some unofficial lollipop/jackpot report, because Im sure I can find a lot of the same in the midwest. Im sure you can find an isolated spot in the south, but the whole generalization is just wrong. The sentence would be factual if it read "isolated spots in the south have seen bigger snowstorms in the past two seasons than isolated spots of the midwest". Seriously, the exaggerations are getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Nice pictures from the King of snow piles, Josh. You'd thought we had 3-4 inches the way he does his magic with a camera. lol Wide driveway and frequent snowfalls will do the trick. Most of the piles were there anyway, this snow was just a nice refresher. My brother, who is wintered out, said today "I didnt know it was going to snow today, I had to clean off my car 4 times today. Were probably going to sneak up to one of the snowiest winters on record because instead of getting big snowstorms were getting like an inch or two every other day".
