Another 1-3” of rain tomorrow and another round of severe, we are getting waterlogged. 6” have fallen here in two weeks. From drought to overflowing river banks, Mother Nature is always in control.
Couldn’t have drawn up Memorial Day weather any better, 83 and sunny with absolutely zero wind. Summer is on our doorstep and a fascinating one looms with a lurking potential super El Niño.
This is exactly where I’m at, by December 10th this winter had already far exceeded the entire winter of 24-25. It’s just so disheartening to see a blistering hot start be wasted with a major lull during peak winter season. Makes one appreciate wall to wall winters like 2013-2014 and 2014-2015.
Not very often you see 60s in the sub in January, but here we are. 61 in Champaign, and a quality soak. Looking forward to a much needed pattern change.
First half of January is toast. The blistering hot start to winter has come to a screeching halt. Signs of a more active and colder second half of January though, we shall see. Pretty disheartening to be wasting peak winter like this.
Seeing this huge lull in the winter season after the hot start, really just puts into perspective how truly legendary the great winter of 2013-2014 truly was.
Tagged 50 today, the snowpack got completely nuked, the snowstorms are already a distant memory. The next big headline will be just how warm Christmas Day gets. Mid to upper 60’s?
Call was damn near $ I measured 5.3” and just to my east there was a 7” jackpot zone. Roads were a complete disaster. Unfortunately the blistering start to winter comes to a screeching halt now, but amazing none the less!
