D+. Final kick in the nuts was the near miss on March 25th storm. Heavier snow totals seem to slip by just to the NW back half of winter

Got stuck in the outside of the tornado. It was a rain wrapped beast the size of a field. We ended up trapped in a small town. A trashcan went airborne and hit us. We missed the trampoline by a couple yards at least.

 

I am truly thankful to have survived. Judging by the EMTs everywhere and the couple of destroyed houses we came across miles later, I probably shouldn't have. I fucked up so badly today that it's hard to actually comprehend the magnitude of it. I know I'm the amateur of amateurs amongst you all but even I knew better than to do what I did today.

At least you weren't hurt. Do storm chasers pay exorbitant auto insurance rates?

Non event here. 

Good to be back from Florida

Sums up winter for Chicago and most of the burbs

Another shithole “storm”, another slushy inch. 

Not sure my area did any better. Weather patterns can be so repetitive. Basically needed to be almost at the state line and north all winter to receive good snows.

Looking at radar looks like dry slot bust for my area. MKE and Lake Geneva look good. No SE shift for Madison.

Indian Rocks Beach south to Madeira Beach is way better than Sarasota area and Siesta Key in my opinion.

Have to find a quieter place away from spring break horde

I’ve been seeing those atmospheric rivers plow the west all winter it’s crazy how much snow they got at mammoth mountain. Record is 67 and they are in the mid 50s in feet about now right? I hope the spring out that way is gradual so all that don’t melt quickly and cause more flooding issues

not in the sub but Alta in Utah just cracked 700” on the season and Mammoth (CA) is now over 800”. Absolutely incredible winter in the Wasatch and Sierras and it’s still got some wind left in it.

Read an article ski season could last through July in some areas there.

Grand Rapids saw one of its snowiest winters on record and hardly any place in Michigan has a big snowfall deficit. In fact southern MI has had some more fierce winter storms than usual. But we don't need cold to get snow. The winter overall was mild and the snow and ice cover less than normal. For individual cities you can go back to 1950 for AWSSI and it's clear that it's an all encompassing formula they use.

Do you receive a significant percentage of snowfall from LES in DTW?

Not worried. Not enough cold air around till you get to DTW

Usually mid to late April here. Best weather always seem to follow Memorial Day for the first several weeks of June then repeats itself in September. Majority of September's bring out the best climo moniker from Alek

cromartie roped in another one, with 10-12" reports in the area.

Another “storm”, another brutal gradient. <3” here while RFD makes a run at 7 

Similar to 1/29 event. Amts increased quite a bit from far SE McHenry Co. up to the state line

5.2" here

Accumulating on grassy surfaces here

P&C went from 4-8", to 4-6", now 3-5".

Will bump my call from 2.5" to 3". 

^ Australia had a chilly summer

Just now, SchaumburgStormer said:

RFD sits at 20.5" while I am at 9.2". Wild gradient between here and there. 

Wow. Even I have measured 18-19" here.

this is and always was a standard advisory level event at 3-6". Thinking a model showing a 12" snowfall 4-5 days out is fools gold, and has always been. Problem is, we post and follow them so when reality sets in were disssapointed. And I will push back on it's been a winter of events trending south and dryer. It's been a non winter south of Wisconsin and Michigan.Not one event has run the corridor from Iowa through Northern Ohio with a standard 3-6" advisory snow this winter. However, I can tell you that Milwaukee, less than an hour from my back yard had a 8" snowfall on1/29(this also hit most of far north Ill incl Mchenry county), a 6" snowfall on 2/17, and a 3-4" sleet/snow event on 2/22-23.  Heck, less than 5 days ago we had a huge intense cutter through the midwest. They don't always work out for your backyard. It's just been a bad winter for the zone mentioned previuosly. But who knows maybe this one will surprise. If not, the grass will green up, the days are longer, birds are chirping at 5 am, green is poking out of the ground, and baseball is being played in florida and arizona. I love the transition to spring as well.

Pretty accurate. Had to be north of the state line with the exception of the ice storm and 1/29 event that hit areas hard just north of me like Woodstock. RFD sits at 20.5" for the season while Madison has 45.4" and MKE 28.5". Shit kicker is RFD finished with 21.1" of snow last year just NW of the February to remember corridor. Looking forward to spring also only a month away.
