In IKK too. Just took the dogs out and went and measured 3.8". And still snowing. Nice surprise.

What's your seasonal total?

where does ORD stand after today? Please round down.

31.5 so 31". RFD at 17.6"

Snowing nicely 1.5" on the ground already

Can't watch. Too much disappointment over the years

Will go with 1.5" to break the 20" barrier for seasonal totals

I don't think agw has anything to do with our December luck lately but it has been a weird quirk. You can't go by the mantra that everything is getting later because we have had no shortage of snowier and colder than normal Novembers as well as some unusual October snowfalls lately. I attribute it to a weird trend of luck where the other shoe will eventually drop. We had similar runs of shit Decembers in the 1930s, 1950s, and 1990s.

 

Fun fact. At Detroit...

9 of the last 17 Christmases have had snow on the ground.

16 of the last 17 Valentines Days have had snow on the ground.

Take this with a grain of salt and not sure about the scientific method that arrived at these numbers or conclusions. But an interesting take from Wxrisk DT. Although he can be controversial and a bit hot headed.

Looks identical to the two main Feb. storms, watch the southern one trend south and screw S. WI/E. IA/NW-NC IL again.

Inside 120hrs look to the Euro runs for your answer

agreed. And by March, I'm fine tracking an event and having it gone days later as opposed to building a snow pack in the heart of winter. But let's face it almost reinforces how odd the start of this winter was to go through December nary a flake. 

Xmas will have to be moved to Jan.25th to account for the seasonal shift of winter due to AGW

Madwx, Cyclone77,and McHenrySnow have no idea what your talking about

remember when we felt sorry for wisconsin?

Maybe central and southern Wisconsin. Northern parts have fared ok this winter

2.75" here, maybe 3" being generous. Nice and fluffy but sadly one of the deepest snows on the driveway this season. Since no big snows seem destined for my area this winter ready for pseudo spring

I know the LES band was north of you, but i assumed you still got some earlier. Did you not?

Yes we received a coating overnight and then had mood flakes all day

Snow falling

I knew it was bad in the northwest suburbs and up toward MKE, but didn't realize just how sluggish it's been.  The total snow to date at RFD is the lowest since 2002-03.

Pitching shut outs for the month of December I think hurts NW burbs and RFD moreso than metro LOT and further SE. Most winters we generally jump out to a head start due to the warm lake being a negative influence for you. ORD catches up and surpasses RFD due to lake enhancement and LES as winter progresses. Also the fact we haven't had any classic amped up,negative tilt storms deepening as they track through Indy into lower MI  that bring mixing up to southern LOT but heavy snow further NW has been somewhat unusual

would surpass yesterday morning's hail as the event of the winter for the NW burbs

Someone on the board posted a week or so ago that there is no such thing as too much snow.  I'm not so sure bout that.  

Calling it a day.  It's impossible to be up on the roof in this, it's getting dark and I don't want to fall or get hurt.  Tackle it after the storm.

 

 

A young man's place to live. A significant percentage of your life during the winter is just dealing with the amount of snow that disrupts your daily life.

^Have to admit the more he talks about how snowy the winters really are over the last decade the more it seems to verify in his backyard

That looks like an active pattern that could ease some drought concerns over far N.IL

Bring it on. Have to go through the slugfest of pseudo spring anyways. Rockford has only 1.7" of snow for entire month of February.
