  1. I thought we were talking about the winter not February.
  2. Nah. There's just a lot of unrealistic expectations on this board for where people live. lol
  3. Humans are awful but there’s very few people who have room to bitch. Unless you’re Amish, you’re most likely using technology that contributes to adding greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. My life along with most people in 1st world countries is significantly better than if it was 1886. I might even be dead now from one of my infections in my life that required antibiotics if it was 1886. Rant over now.
  4. I remember pre internet days of the 1990s when I could only look at TWC extended forecast maps that they would update like once a day late morning. Those maps had light snow, snow and I think even heavy snow. Then when there was a chance closer in time you had to wait for the updated NWS forecast in the AM and PM on the local forecast. Now, there’s about 1000 different models updating all day and night to look at. lol
  5. We had one that brought Ohio a lot of snow earlier this winter too.
  6. Didn't we literally just have one that brought the western Sub a snowstorm?
  7. I do kind of like it when the weather does that to people who think they have it all figured out.
  8. Don’t we usually start seeing the SOI start going more negative around this time of year for a developing Nino? So far, it’s still quite positive. That could also indicate a pattern change.
  9. Here in the eastern part of the state there was rain to start apparently from what I’ve read. So, this area kind of got screwed. I wasn’t born until July that year so I couldn’t see what was happening, I could only listen. lol
  10. At least you should be able to get into the 60s on Wednesday. It’ll probably be foggy and 30s here on Wednesday.
  11. I told Alek last month it wouldn’t be long until you’re in the 60s and he’s in the 30s along the shore and here we are. lol
  12. Isn’t this winter the type of winter everyone was wondering why we didn’t get anymore? The clipper winter.
  13. I’m not sure the preceding two winters being cold really have anything to do with it, does it? It could just be that an El Niño is typically mild where the map is mild and would look that way even if the two preceding winters were mild.
  14. How are your palm trees holding up in this cold winter?
  15. Yeah. That and to have cities have their 3rd coldest stretch in 152 years is impressive. People keep acting like this happens every winter.
  16. I know everyone here just seems to have mood swings with each op model run but the look on the ensembles in late February doesn’t look bad to me at all. You have Canada filled with Arctic air, a -PNA and the seasonal warming in the south as we head toward March. The ingredients are there for interesting stuff IMO.
  17. I mean if you're in some rural white trash trailer park you might have an issue but I'm sure that's true in Illinois too. Other than that, I think he's misinformed.
  18. Yeah. If you want sun in the winter, Arctic cold is what you need. In Michigan that’s especially true later in winter when the lakes are at their lowest temperature and or have ice cover. One of the worst things about mild winters is the seemingly constant low clouds most days.
  19. Our below freezing streak should end on Tuesday. We've been below freezing since it dropped during the day on January 14th. We won't quite make it a full month but still not bad.
  20. Yeah. Third coldest in 152 years happens all the time. Yes, you’re downplaying it. lol
  21. There’s obviously a mild to very mild stretch coming up but they’re talking about after that.
  22. Some were saying the cold wasn’t impressive but that looks impressive to me. It might not match the warm anomalies out west with a warmer world but to downplay the cold the last three weeks isn’t being honest.
  23. I mentioned this last winter but I'm still surprised at how little ice there was at this time last year in what was not a warm winter by any means. I mean last winter at this time had less ice than 2006-2007 which is really surprising to me considering that winter was pretty much a torch from early December until mid January.
  24. If you're looking at it from where you live, I guess it's not great but overall it quickly brings back the -WPO so they'll be a lot of arctic air pressing into the ridge so I would say it actually looks pretty wintry for the country especially as you go north and west. I know that's not good for your area though.
