So how are things looking in the UP @weatherbo and @wishforsnow? Any trails open at all?
-
Looking like a good thing I was in the UP mid-January this year. You'll have to give us a snowpack update in 10 days or so
-
Interesting! Definitely not the usual lake effect snow location, see it on the northwest shore of the lake
-
I think you have the date wrong? ORD was 91/59 on May 30th
-
Can confirm Thundersnow in Irving Park!

RECORD EVENT REPORTNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO IL138 AM CDT FRI OCT 27 2023...RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURE SET AT CHICAGO-OHARE...A RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 65 WAS SET AT CHICAGO-OHARE YESTERDAY. THIS BEATS THE OLD RECORD OF 63 SET IN 1939.

I was wondering what was going on, Chicago was under Air Quality Alerts all last week and the AQI ended up I think staying below 100 each day. Then today nothing! (Until now)

I've been curious about exactly this. The University of Michigan Ann Arbor records go back to 1881 on the NWS site. And University of Illinois at Champaign back to 1888. Would love to know more that haven't moved at all since the 1800s

Yeah this is how they score the AWSSI for that map: https://mrcc.purdue.edu/research/awssi/AWSSI_InfoSheet_2pg.pdf

Creating snow via alchemy lol

So is that a lake-enhanced streamer really hitting Indianapolis area now?

1991-2020 is out now. Although the map definitely has some issues, for example Gaylord & Kalkaska normals should have them in the red -
Looks like two derechos in 1995 hit Ontario. I was in northern Michigan for the one on July 13, 1995 https://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/AbtDerechos/casepages/jul1995derechopage.htm

Yeah if you look at MDW vs ORD 2020 was definitely an anomaly where ORD had a warm bias. Compared to MDW at least. I am using the NWS Monthly Summarized NOWData, average temps at MDW vs ORD

POLL: 2021-2022 Season Snowfall Total @ ORD
Danny8 replied to cyclone77's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
The January 28th lake effect snow event put a lot more snow in parts of the city than ORD -
Ha I agree that it should be moved a month. I want snow all winter but your average citizen only wants it in December for the holidays, so this year was a disaster from that regard.
-
Measured 3.5" at my house in Irving Park. Lake effect snow coming down fairly heavy at my office in the West Loop right now
-
Has been coming down decently in the north side of Chicago, but slowed for the moment in Irving Park. It looks on the radar like Metro Detroit is getting some lake bands? Fun to see the NE winds putting lake effect there and up near Green Bay
-
Are those all ORD? I thought the early years were right by the lake until MDW became the official site in 1940 maybe. I only bring it up because temps stay warmer by the lake in the early winter
-
I'm hoping the maps update to the 1991-2020 normals soon. Haven't seen it yet for the midwest or nationally
-
Can the pros give some more insight on eclipse viewing conditions? I would also like to head to the Chicago lakefront but it seems like we may be cloudy
-
Still over 9" snow depth (glacier depth) in my backyard in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood. Just amazing snowpack in the city this month. My yard is pretty shaded but the neighbors depth seems pretty similar.
-
@michsnowfreak Curious to look at the snowcover data for some other locations, where would I find that? Best source I've seen is the NCDC climate normals reports but it only has monthly data
-
Low of 35 in my backyard, but frost in the center of Horner Park on Chicago's northwest side. Thought it was a pretty good example of a park being somewhat of an oasis in the urban heat island. The grass on the edges of the park was only dewy but frost in the center. Sorry for the dementor shadow

I'm in St Helen and was in Grayling yesterday, colors have only just started up here. Maybe ~10% of trees
