Chambana

My rainer call was $. Heading into February with less than 6” on the season. Did have some on again off again freezing rain. 

Gonna be the first to bring this up, but as far as temps and snowfall, this winter has rivaled 2011-2012 in terms of suckiness. 

No doubt this is a Rainer. Check please. 

Go ahead and pencil in a rainer for next weekend system, let’s follow the trend of weekend flood advisories. Euro ensembles agree as well. 

Two flood advisories. 
4.86” rainfall. 
1/2” snowfall. 
Temps 9.9 above average for the month.

January 2020 recap for Champaign so far. The extended looks warm again.

Picked up more quick flakes this morning. Snow shoveling was a disaster, it’s so heavy. 

Nice. No snow in Champaign, sleet, freezing rain, rain. 

The roads are going to go to complete crap later when the front moves through, lots of standing water on the roadways, parking lots, sidewalks. 

Enjoy your storm guys.

Pounding +sn in this enhanced band

That band looks great. Enjoy. Sleeted here with a changeover to light snow. 

Heavy freezing rain/sleet right now. Sidewalks are ice already.

Way too much Bustardi talk in this thread, dude is trash and has been for years. Not worth even acknowledging anymore with his clearly biased approach.

Not supporting the dude at all. Simply a good laugh during this horrible winter. 

Recap of this storm for Champaign 

1) Ice accretion early on Friday evening 

2) Saturday temps warm to the lower 40’s with 1.5” rainfall 

3) temps crash after precipitation ends causing flash freeze, with the cold snap on brown ground

4) the packers are in the NFC championship game

5) I hate this winter. It sucks. 

WWA advisory issued for .01-.02” ice, along with a flood warning for an additional 1-1.5” of rainfall. I guess a flash freeze on Saturday will be a highlight of this winter? 

It’s hard not to be  discouraged. Ryan Maue tweeted earlier about the euro ensembles latching onto warmth flooding the eastern 2/3 by next weekend. 
 

One would think with a solar minimum, neutral ENSO, things would align better than this. 

He did a pivot from 2014-2015 and is now claiming 65-66 is a top analog. WB has been pounding the table, just like 65-66 winter will come roaring the 2nd half of the season! It’s comical.

Same and most came on Halloween 

Yep same. Halloween dropped 1.5” here. So from 11/1- 1/14 just an abysmal 4”

With a likely miss to the north with the weekend system, I will be heading into the latter part of January with 5.4” of snow. This is brutal. 

Don’t worry guys, Bastardi still riding his 1976-77 and 2014-2015 analogs. Denial at its finest.

Snow has tapered to flurries after snowing for 24 hours straight... right around 100" for the season now.

took these from inside the house

On my way. Im salivating. 

Temps running 5.1 degrees above average for the month. Pretty brutal.

One of the wintriest Novembers on record followed by a terrible Dec. Starting Jan with a clean slate and avg snowfall to date. Jan-Apr eill dictate any meltdowns.

You always find the positive in everything. Your right, winter started with a bang around Halloween. Makes you wonder, did winter blow its load early? 

Extended looking as bad as the bears QB Mitchell Trubisky. Yikes. 

Looking mild around here until at least January 5th. Wonder who has the first epic melt down of the season? Whatever happens please for the love of god, don’t let us suffer through another cold, snowy April. 

CMI already broke the record of 59 set back in 1942 with a 12PM reading of 62. What a way to end this decade of warm December’s. 

hit 62 here today. Felt almost unnatural. Woke up to birds chirping, and by lunchtime smokers and grills going in the distance.
