  1. Finally hit on scattered tstorms here. Torrential downpour lasted 10 mins
  2. Hope they hold together Edit: Nope. Probably a miss SE this afternoon also
  3. Maybe a larger window of fantastic weather this spring. Usually get this from Memorial Day thru first few weeks of June before heat sets in.
  4. Today is going to challenge that. May have frosty mornings upcoming week
  5. Late April in the past usually signals sustained spring like weather. I typically will start planting then unless an unusual cold spell is forecast. Some wait till after Mother's Day but that's conservative.
  6. My Aunt lives in Mt.Carmel will tell her your coming.
  7. Will grade this out as a C+. Around 26-27" total this year which sadly is better than the last few years. Considering my area cashed in on the two weeks of winter in January and has been favored compared to the rest of LOT for other small events, better than could be expected considering the overall winter futility.
  8. Quietly those seasonal snow totals getting up there. 41.3"
  9. For a dud winter the northern counties have maxed out on the few opportunities this year.
  10. Even though under WWA expect maybe 1" of slop far SE McHenry. Maybe 2-3" up on the IL/WI border
  11. Normally don't put the snowblower away till 1st week of April. Thinking of retiring it early.
  12. It seems accurate for my area but maybe not so much for others. Have to think this winter will only further the departures shown in a lot of the midwest that are lagging in snowfall over the last five winters.
  13. The question of will it snow on Easter has to be dealt with.
  14. I am almost as far north at 42.18 latitude as Detroit yet you guys seem to outperform us in snowfall averages. Is that just lake influence or does your area receive more synoptic snows?
  15. Not sure if this is definitive about a SSW cancel but maybe you have some insight. Post stated 100% of ensembles had a reversal on the SSW with PV remaining intact
  16. I think Detroit averages 45"seasonal snowfall compared to 37-38" for Chicago. I've had several winters recently under 25" seasonal snowfall yet Michigansnowfreak has only experienced one winter in 29 years like that. Big dogs happen so infrequently in Chicago I'd take the consistent yearly snow advantage you have. But understand your point
  17. With the exception of a couple weeks in January and the last few days of spring like weather its monotonously unappealing. 4.5 months of temps 30-45F with cold rain the predominating precip is a tough road to grind through. Loss of December as a winter month is a killer. Below average March and April's just extend the monotony but can't replace losing December.
