Some similarities with 2012-2013 and 2022-2023 temp wise. Obviously this winter is a decaying weak La Niña to enso neutral, I’m curious to see if this spring plays out similarly to 2013, which was miserable, cold and wet. If I remember correctly enso neutral was observed for all of 2013, so I’m curious to see how fast this El Niño comes on.

Rest of the month looking chilly.

In the past six years, five have been La Niña, it’s time to shake things up. I want a moderate nino, 02-03 and 09-10 were some fun fall and winters. Yes, I’m Creed Bratton now.

Oh yes, second favorite! I think we need a GLOV crew meet up with smokers and IPAs, who says no? Pertaining to march again, next week looks rather chilly.

First 70 of the year yesterday, got in a nice bacon wrapped brat smoke session. With 30-45 minutes remaining I brush them with my homemade bbq sauce and it creates a carmelish glaze.

Topped out at 59. The itch is getting real by the day, grills going in the neighborhood. Spring forward is 7 days away, that’ll put things in overdrive, unfortunately ma nature has other plans.

That’s insane. I couldn’t fathom 136 days of snowcover. 5 1/2 months is just absurd. Also, 3rd year Nina’s are very kind to MSP.

Ready for boomers, morel mushrooms, longer days and green grass.

Some of the most insane sustained winds I’ve seen around these parts in quite sometime. CMI recorded a 70mph wind gust, with multiple trees uprooted, power outages, tree damage. while the snow didn’t really stick, the conditions were just legit for quite awhile. Such a dynamic system.

WWA popped

Starting met spring off with a banger of a day. Minimal breeze and topping out around 65. Inject this weather into my veins everyday.

Late Christmas present bow wrapped and all just for you. I don’t want it. I’m gonna secret Santa it to y’all.

Ending met winter with 6.2”. Dad 20 miles south had 5.2” on the season.

We really about to repeat spring 2013 aren’t we? Gag me with a spoon.

Was just reading about my winter here for the 22-23 season we have received 6.2” on the season, that’s good for the 12th least snowiest on record, should we receive no more snowfall this would be the least snowiest winter since the early 1900s. I will obviously need to wait for February to finish, but temp wise this should end up somewhere in the top 10-14 I’d have to imagine as well. that 6.2” for the 12th least snowiest to date really sticks out, it goes to show how little winter we truly experience, and how we really experienced a legendary folklore winter in 2013-2014.

Next 8 days high temps 57,54,50,64,61,33,45,52 the remarkably mild winter continues here. Not a flake in sight.

Trend is your friend, ride the hot hand. MSP won’t be denied. Warm front surging to Chicago

We got Alek now. He’s always ready 2 b buried

Grid has 70. I want futility records at this point. Lawn got a good drink this morning at 36 degrees and heavy rain. Let the green up commence.

MSP special. Spring winning the battle

Idk, this winter is hot garbage. At least for me, this rivals 2011-2012 in just overall awfulness. Many here in central Illinois are under 10” for the season, with nothing in the foreseeable future. the 1” ground blizzard and insane cold on the doorstep of Christmas was fun, but other than that, nothing burger since.

Stellar Super Bowl Sunday on tap, should top out around 53-55, full sun and calm breeze. Grills and smokers galore right now, everyone is in spring mode.

What a shame. 1992 and 2009 are analogs for the upcoming season.

Sub 10” winter here is definitely plausible here in Champaign. No snow in the forecast for the next 9 days. In fact, 50s and might sneak in a 60 next week.
