  1. 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...
  2. His trolling was funny at first, but after while his schtick started to get old.
  3. That's the joy of WFH. You and you alone comprise of the "workplace."
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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...
  8. 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.
  9. It's pretty desperate times when grapsing at a *potential* system 10+ days out...
  10. Merry Christmas on this day with ample sun and blue skies!!! #GodBlessTheSunbelt
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Oh, he definitely gon' learn, lol... I remember the other guy from the Atlanta area a few years ago who about lost his mind when he realized how cloudy it is up there.
  16. The gloomy skies and stratiform rains is the awful part I see (granted, this is normal climo for yalls' neck of the woods), not so much the temps or duration of precip.
