NEOH Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Agree 1000% Denver is overrated when it comes to average snowfall. No one beats Buffalo and to me thats a major city No doubt Buffalo is better than Denver in terms of snowfall. But have you been to Buffalo? Far from a major city... makes Cleveland look like a booming metropolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'd love a big storm. Really would. If we go by 6"+/12 hours less or 10"+/24 hours or less (which is hsw/wsw criteria here) it's been since Dec 2008 for me. Long time. That being said, these frequent 2-4/3-5 deals are starting to grow on me. Snow cover gets built up either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organizing Low Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Haha, very true. I didn't know Stebo was from Detroit proper--no wonder why everyone is scared of him. Stebo is from Detroit City? damn, that is some scary sh*t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Stebo is from Detroit City? damn, that is some scary sh*t lol you guys ...Stebo is from Eastpointe, a suburb bording Detroit city proper. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, as some of the wealthiest and safest suburbs in the ENTIRE U.S. are literally minutes outside the Detroit city limits. Eastpointe is not necessarily one of those, but just saying. Hell, even some neighborhoods in Detroit (ie Boston Edison) or the center of downtown, if an out-of-towner unfamiliar with the area were to visit, they would say, "this CANT be Detroit?!". Actually an outside joke, they sent a bunch of workers from my dads company (AT&T) to different cities in the U.S. for 2 weeks on business a few days ago, and it was all luck of the draw. He ended up in Columbus, not too far from CMH, in what he describes as a pretty nice area. His buddy, one of those suburban-living Detroit bashers, ended up all the way in L.A., in a very bad section that he says makes Detroit look like the garden of Eden. He said he will NEVER bash Detroit again. So this post isnt totally OT....over half inch of snow overnight, a solid 5" on the ground, and several more rounds on the way the next several days.

michsnowfreak Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Picked up 0.6" of powder last evening and overnight, and now it looks like another band of snow is moving in (very light snow attm). By by tomorrow we should be over 10" on the month (with it only half over) and over 20" on the season (with it less than half over), so the pace has certainly picked up (as I knew it would ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That company is not going to want to put these on display anymore. Now, if the thieves headed to Bloomfield Hills, where every other car is a BMW, it will blend right in. But dont those cars have tracking devices in them anyway? **************************** Back on topic.. DTX mid-winter update to the winter outlook: http://www.crh.noaa....Outlook2011.pdf Deedler says his original call of near to below normal temps was not cold enough, and expects the DJF average to end up in the -2F to -4F range. As for snowfall, while SE MI is generally normal right now (with some areas slightly below), he expects more than half the snow is yet to come (a backend-loaded winter), so in the end all of SE MI should have near to locally above normal snowfall (whereas in his original outlook he said the above normal snowfall lollipops would be limited to the northern part of the area, the colder winter means it can happen anywhere in SE MI).

Chicago WX Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We're almost to the mid point of meteorological winter, and as I look at Indianapolis, they've seen 23.6" of snow since December 1st. Below is the top 10 list for snowiest meteorological winters (D-J-F) at Indy. Needless to say, they probably have a good shot of entering the top 10, barring a complete shutdown of winter in the near and extended future. 1981-82...51.0" 1977-78...49.7" 2002-03...46.9" 1973-74...39.3" 1995-96...37.8" 1978-79...37.8" 1983-84...32.6" 1892-93...32.4" 1909-10...32.3" 1917-18...32.2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern_IN_Wx Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Just looks like a parade of northern stream waves for the next week. The good news is that these can deliver decent snowfalls (as we have seen all winter) and keeps our snow on the ground from melting. Maybe at some point down the road we will get some southern stream interaction. Maybe March? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Aren't we about half way through winter? February 4th is the midpoint of astronomical winter. The "dead" of winter is considered the last week of January into the first week of February, so we are not quite halfway yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
