Gas them Gennys up.  

North trended MKE and DET to 0 flakes.   IMBY - a snowy NW trend in the meat of winter hasn't existed for yrs.

That's the way she blows though.

Literally just last storm?

Point taken.  I guess it was more of a IMBY whine.   I can't remember a NW trend storm here in the middle of winter in yrs.  This storm wreaks like all the other wannabe's on the north side.

lol at expecting a north trend.  That hasn't happened since Mt Geos moved.

Nice weenie band and a FU slot. Even looks good for Toronto but I need readers.

Whatever it is it looks like a CF in the OV. We pray for Ohio again. 

I think even I weaseled out a nice total in VD 2007.

Lets encase that Ohio snowpack in until April.  Tune and gas them generators up.

Lol true. Story of the last 2 years. Only get snow at the very beginning and end of winter.

The challenge has been insurmountable to get that one cutter to Dayton Ohio.  We know the most likely outcome of this one already.

almost thought Bo or Will posted the last pic.     

Ripping the bong here.  Enjoy the storm and football today everybody.

Hour 84 and snowfall to that point.

We say a prayer for STL & CMH

Yeah, Cyclone.   The atmosphere on the streets yesterday was on fire.  The backyard south facing sun without a cloud in the sky all day along with light wind and 56 degrees yesterday was as good as it gets in January if it won't snow.  A day I'll remember for sure.

Back in the day when I really cared about snow, I'd be in full meltdown mode right now.

Today, just enjoying day after day of easy commutes to work.

Facts

 .68 of rain today for a record topping 2008's .50"

Topped out at 51 - not a record today.  63 is the record, 2008

Picked up .68" of rain, grass is pretty green and dense now here.  Looking like a shot of more rain tomorrow with something white maybe mixing in.  Little to no accum.

Sitting here admiring how green my neighbors  lawn is.

Nino winters never ever excite me so thankfully I didn't take the bait and had this winter pegged for meh before it started.  Also the cold and snow in fall just had the feel of we will pay for it when it matters to me during the holidays.   Sure enough another dud december.  There is still hope for those off to the  south and east to pull off a fine 2nd half to winter for sure.

you care

Haha, yeah At 44 yrs old I get just as amped waiting for that  first flake of every event to fly in the floodlight as I did when i was 4. But as you get older and realize just how bad your climo is, I've come to accept that outside of living in a FES Belt - the Midwest just sucks for a snow pack weenie like myself and as so I don't let my expectations of winter rise above the the terrible winter wx weenie climo we live in.

Yr 4 in a row of shitty winters IMBY so this stink is nothing new and I don't really care either way if it snows again this winter.  I do thoroughly enjoy the meltdowns so there is something positive about this ratter so far.

Im sure the dam will break. After Jan 20th we should get some more sustained winter but there will be chances before then.

SNE Sub-Forum is always a great read.  Whenever I'm trolling around over there the pattern is normally in the dumps and we're searching for anything positive going forward.   Good thing winter is flying by and we''ll know soon enough if the flip ever comes or if buckeye gets to start digging Koi Ponds in Feb.

hrrr was uglllyyy for MKE.  Storms just don't cut up in to MI anymore.

This thread misses, Alek. Hopefully he hits the beach with his dog during some thunder snow.

Well the snowfall map of the Euro gave a nudge to the north in to the prettier colors. Does it have one more nudge to a half a foot longer in it.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you

This has been a pretty slick November to date.  And now we have a storm barreling down on Chicago during thanksgiving travels to deliver thundersnow.  This is shaping up to be one thats remembered for a long time.
