    A part of me wants Detroit to see a winter of relative futility, just to see how @michsnowfreak would react. I know if all else fails, February seems to always come through to save the day. That said, January so far isn't looking as hot as the broader pattern originally suggested for snow prospects in/around the Motor City (it's looking cold but dry)...

    Amen to that!

    February 2-3, 2022 Winter Storm here in Dallas... BTW, if the former Lafayette, IN members (Hoosier & ChicagoWX) were still actively posting, they could also attest to experiencing pingers for roughly the same length of time during GHD 2011. All of their old posts about the event are still easily searchable. Point being, after experiencing such an event, I'm fairly numb to relatively intermittent pingers now. It can be so much worse.

    Oh boy... I was just teasing you, my friend. BTW, "Oh, My Sweet Summer Child" is an internet meme from The Game of Thrones, again meant to be a joke. I will be more careful next time I respond...

    ^^^Another Palm Dude sock?

    Oh my Sweet Summer Child... Until you've had to suffer through the torture that is 10 straight hours of non-stop pinging on your windows, I feel no sympathy...

    Hi Palm Dude...
  8. Powerball
    His trolling was funny at first, but after while his schtick started to get old.

    That's the joy of WFH. You and you alone comprise of the "workplace."

    The elusive triple phaser has resurfaced...

    But even during the event, I remember the models were still spitting out crazy amounts like a widespread 15-20". Probably the rare instance where a storm didn't trend drier before the onset.

    That's the one where, had it been like a half degree colder throughout the column, Detroit would have been buried in well over a foot of concrete. In fact, before the mixing issues eventually happened (as dynamic cooling was doing its thing for a good minute), I recall DTX was strongly considering a Blizzard Warning.

    lol at the 12z GGEM. Ain't gonna happen...

    One reason to be cautiously optimistic about this system delivering a high-end event is that, unlike the past several seasons, we finally have an active STJ with the borderline strong El Nino, which should help to keep the southern stream wave from shearing apart.

    lol.

    That EURO Control run is disgusting...

    Ooof!!! I just realized this December is possibly on track for a top 5 warmest at DFW (even though it hasn't felt like it in the past week). I've really lost my tolerance for non-Summer temps, lol...

    I know. I'm mostly teasing. In the process of moving, so I'm actually liking the dry/sunny weather we've had down here (even though it's been too cold for my liking). If the broader pattern can stay the way it has been through at least the end of next weekend, I'll be a happy camper.

    It's pretty desperate times when grapsing at a *potential* system 10+ days out...
  20. Powerball
    Yessir!!!

    Merry Christmas on this day with ample sun and blue skies!!! #GodBlessTheSunbelt

    I'm guessing that 46*F is from when the University of Chicago was the main order station (so a stronger UHI influence) as that particular record is from 1936.
  23. Powerball
    Surprisingly, the current record high minimum for today at ORD is 37*F (set in 2019). And I say surprisingly because 37*F does feel low (but that's just a hunch, I have nothing empirical to back that up with). I doubt 52*F (or more specifically, 50*F at ORD) holds, but even several degrees lower than that would still shatter the record.
  24. Powerball
    Palm Dude's trolling wouldn't be nearly as bad if he came up with a new schtick. At this point, it's just so low effort and predictable.
  25. Powerball
    I'm sure @michsnowfreak has a logical explanation behind his comment with some form of data to back it up. And I can certainly agree that the broader upper level pattern in 2011 vs. 2023 is nothing alike. But I will say, comparing the anomalies for yalls' part of the country (as well as the snowcover maps), there are definitely some similarities. But this, of course, doesn't mean a whole lot with respect to how the rest of the season will evolve.
