daddylonglegs Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The Mustang at 120mph could go across open water No cops out on the ice. Just watch for pressure ridges (air time!). Years ago I was out on Lake Onalaska buzzing along at around 60mph on a Yamaha Grizzley... A Ford Ranger BLEW past me at over 100mph. People are nuts out on the ice. They do races on Lake Neshonic just outside La Crosse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Michsnow- How did you find that info on 12 inch snowfalls? Did you just skim all the records or is there a list somewhere? I'd be interested in how common they are here, but haven't went through the data yet. Well, DTX had a list of the top 25 on their climo section of their website. But I also have my own personal lists, so I just expanded to 9"+ snowstorms. So unless LSE has a list on their website, you may have to do some research lol.

Mogget Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Very nice snow in Madison right now. Earlier it was sugar snow but the flakes are larger now, and very pretty as it freshens up the old snow. Probably moderate. Wish it were going to go like this all day!

OHSnow Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Looks like YNG has cracked top ten snowiest winters on record again -- and could be up to another 6" before the end of the weekend. The top three snowiest winters on record have all been in the past four winters -- and this one looks to eclipse those, unless it suddenly shuts off. Climate change is definitely supercharging winter snowfall -- at least in the lee of the great lakes. What's really crazy is this was the first winter without measurable snowfall before December 1, and then it went nuts, with 40" coming in just two mult-day LES events during the month of December.

TugHillMatt Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Picked up 4.6 inches of snow here today from the clipper...they were only calling for 1 to 2 inches but the southerly flow off the lake really enhanced it. That puts us well over 50 inches of snow just for the month of January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Snowing very lightly this morning...which makes this the 35th day of at least a trace (snowflakes falling) here since Thanksgiving. Not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 BTW, I should say in a La Ninas Detroit averages three 6-10" storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 BTW, I should say in a La Ninas Detori averages three 6-10" storms. Actually no. Detroit averages 1 storm of 6"+ in a La Nina winter. There have been two ninas with 3 such storms (1975-75, 2007-08) but 8 out of the past 18 Ninas actually featured 0 storms (though several of them were still snowy and or snowcovered winters). Detroit official 6"+ storms in La Nina winters. 18 winters, 17 storms of 6"+. 1950-51: 1 storm (6.3") 1954-55: 0 storms (biggest 3.8") 1955-56: 0 storms (biggest 5.3") 1956-57: 1 storm (9.0") 1962-63: 0 storms (biggest 4.7") 1964-65: 1 storm (11.0") 1967-68: 2 storms (7.6", 7.7") 1970-71: 0 storms (biggest 3.7") 1971-72: 0 storms (biggest 3.2") 1973-74: 2 storms (11.2", 6.2") 1974-75: 1 storm (19.3") 1975-76: 3 storms (6.5", 6.0", 6.2") 1988-89: 0 storms (biggest 4.1") 1984-85: 0 storms (biggest 5.5") 1995-96: 0 storms (biggest 5.8") 1998-99: 2 storms (11.3", 8.3") 2000-01: 1 storm (6.1") 2007-08: 3 storms (9.0", 7.5", 7.3") 2010-11: 1 storm so far (6.3") ***************************************** 18 La Ninas 1950-2010: 10 of 18 had above normal snowfall 9 of 18 had above normal snowcover of this... 7 had both above normal snowfall AND snowcover 3 had above normal snowfall BUT below normal snowcover 2 had below normal snowfall BUT above normal snowcover 6 had both below normal snowfall AND snowcover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think detroit does well in a neutral pattern because temps are usually warmer and bigger storms occur around here with a less susppressive pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An "average" is just that. Taking it all and averaging it up. We have had many winters with more than 1, but many with none. Also, this is the official Detroit total. Im sure many of the 4.5-5.9" storms that "dont count" for the list were 6"+ in some or even much of SE MI. From 1910-2010, Detroit averaged 1 storm per season of 6"+. But heres how it happened 43 winters had no 6"+ storms 30 winters had 1 6"+ storm 19 winters had 2 6"+ storms 6 winters had 3 6"+ storms 2 winters had 4 6"+ storms 1 winter had 5 6"+ storms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
