    Like I said. They can't even acknowledge the cold winter in this actual region, so we hear about how warm it was in the West and how the regular actual weather posters dont acknowledge warm months enough . Hes partially right about one thing though. Its the same stagnant exho chamber with him and his troll buddy.

    That cansips was from Sept though...pretty far out.
  3. michsnowfreak
    On the contrary....everyone goes into strong/super ninos expecting a less wintry than avg winter. It is the warmista weenies who will lose their minds if the warmest strong nino analog doesnt turn out to be the best analog, and/or if its snowier than expected despite mild temps.

    100%
  5. michsnowfreak
    Yeah, its the usual trolls. Penalty box is a great idea!

    Who is "arguing" that? Who said anything even remotely comparing one month to another? It isnt frustration for them , its trolling. All you need to do is look at their post history...what they post about, when they post, and how they name-call and attack. That tells you everything you need to know. BTW, who said April is equivalent to any of the months below avg? Ill wait. I know I mentioned Aprils warm ranking in April. See, I have a preference (cold) but not a bias. I discuss all weather, as do others here. They do not. Its nothing but warm trolling, and then complaining that warmth is not brought up enough, tweeted enough, blah blah. Dec-Jan ranked 36th coldest of 153 years. Not a bad ranking for a winter the usual suspects thought would torch. Tell me, when have they ever even ACKNOWLEDGED a month that was colder than avg?

    Looking very dry as May turns to June.

    It was a rough winter for the warm troll crowd. Many of them went into hibernation but like other things in nature they woke up with the warmth of spring. This will be the 5th of the past 7 months that most of Michigan saw negative temp departures, so of course youre going to hear nothing but March/April March/April...
  9. michsnowfreak
    Exactly. The mean winter temp departures were very impressive considering it was all Dec/Feb. January was a decent winter month.

    Feb 2024 was NOT forecast to be a cold month in the midwest. https://www.climate.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_width_620_original_image/public/2024-02/Feb2024_tempoutlook.gif?itok=NFbaJvRE

    He would never. Look at his post history, speaks for itself. We used to think he was a former banned troll poster (but hes not) based on many of his posts. Hasnt posted in over a year (absolutely no surprise he was absent this winter). But heres his week out prediction for January 2025 (a month his hometown Chicago finished -2.6F. Detroit was -2.8F).

    Wow, I didnt see a torch 2-3 months out after 4 consecutive colder than average months here. Bravo! And I couldnt think of a month I could not care less about for warmth/cold than April. The important months were cold. Speaking of aging like milk, it will be wonderful to bump this "non winter" post. We dont have "non winters" in the Great Lakes. Mild? sure. Below avg snow? Sure. No winter? Not happening. And if you're banking on a strong Nino mild winter, then calling for a warm April is a big no.
  13. michsnowfreak
    Same here in the Great Lakes- strong ninos usually are bad news. But its all relative. Winters in the Lakes and interior northeast are much harsher than the coast. So winter is more often characterized as a whole versus the coast where one huge storm (or lackthereof) often makes or breaks the winter. So basically, I already know im going to have winter, its just highly likely I'll get less of it than usual. Whereas those along coast from NYC south to the midatlantic wont be surprised in April 2027 if they've just seen a 5" winter with no storms or a 35" winter thanks to a massive storm.
  14. michsnowfreak
    Yikes its pretty much the best ones here are the worst ones there and vice versa.

    To clarify...I meant 1982-83 was the absolute shittiest winter of the bunch here. I grew up with my winter-hating dad saying he remembers how "great" that winter was. My mom (who loves winter) was pregnant with me and said she remembers feeling sick at Christmas Eve midnight mass because it was warm in her coat. It was pretty much on its way to being the least snowy winter on record, with only 9" falling thru March 19, but then two spring snowstorms (Mar 21 & Apr 17) added 11" so the winter finished at 20". No winter since has seen that little snowfall. Also, it still stands as the least snowy astrononomical winter on record with only 5.8" falling Dec 21-Mar 19. 1957-58 and 1965-66 at least had some cold, white stretches but were also absolutely atrocious snow years. In fact, both finished UNDER 20" of snowfall. I only give them the nod above 1982-83 since they had some cold & white stretches in winter. With the abysmal snowfall, as you would imagine, the snowdepth was only 2-3" during these wintry stretches 1997-98 and 2023-24 sucked overall, but were better than 1957-58, 1965-66, and 1982-83. 1972-73, 1987-88, 1991-92, 2015-16 all had some fun winter stretches and while none of them were great winters Id take any of them in a heartbeat over the others.

    It was frosty in much of the lower peninsula too. The U.P. is a different world BUT I am convinced Bo literally lives in the best spot possible (at least the best spot thats inhabitable) for a winter lover.
  17. michsnowfreak
    1982-83 was hands down the worst winter of the strong nino bunch here.
  18. michsnowfreak
    Oh for sure. Its all relative. We still have winter, just not as much as we normally do. Ive been saying since March, and will only get more confident if el nino stays on the strong path, that next winter will see less cold and snowcover but a bigger storm. Multiple instances of good storms in strong Nino winters. Usually get a few of the very scenic paste jobs too.
  19. michsnowfreak
    You thinking wall to Wall torch or torch periods? Im not sure on wall to wall. If I had to rate the strong nino winters since 1972 from most to least desirable, I assume it ranks different than yours. 1991-92 1987-88 1972-73 2015-16 1997-98 & 2023-24 (tie) 1982-83
  20. michsnowfreak
    Solid wind with the squall line and 0.75" rain.
  21. michsnowfreak
    I wasn't implying you said that. I was just making a very generalized statement (using the assumption that stronger = worse). We all know that 2009-10 was a weird ass winter. Bare ground in Maine with feet of snow in the Mid-Atlantic. I already have a feeling for the type of winter it'll be here, but ill wait til fall to see if it changes. Im thinking one real shitty warm month. Multiple stretches of winter weather the rest of the time but no sustaining like the past 2. Another wildcard is the traditional el nino = dry can actually really be a fail during strong ninos with some surprisingly wet results (chuck pointed this out).
  22. michsnowfreak
    A few warm days in any given May are normal. The monthly departure is still colder than avg. Looks like all pre-stromg nino Mays had a max in the mid to upper 80s here.
  23. michsnowfreak
    Actually I see it as the opposite. There were a few very disappointed with how last winter turned out cold/wintry. Didn't sit well with them at all so with a big nino coming and better odds for a milder winter, the excitement cant be contained. We will still get winter regardless, but if you want the mild strong el nino pattern, you can say goodbye to any winter sun. No winters are grayer in the already gray Great Lakes than mild nino ones.
  24. michsnowfreak
    I would never count on a "good" winter in a strong nino. But I also wouldn't just assume that the stronger the nino the worse the winter will be. There are other pieces of the puzzle besides enso.
  25. michsnowfreak
    They dig and dig to find this stuff lol.
