So far the winner for most accurate winter season forecasting goes to the NWS and their weekly temp and precip anom maps. *honorable mention goes to Alek and his zzzzz's

What storm are you referring to?

ha, I didn't know he was still around. BTW, we've just lost the euro....gonna go south. So all we got is the GFS showing anything. So if that ends up being the solution, the canadian will be the first prize winner on handling this storm, (it never wavered from showing us getting squat).

Oh, I almost forgot….there’s also this from the Canadian 989 over central WV. Like I said before, wtf bother

I've been watching, but the bust potential in the negative is bigger than the bust potential in the positive. 1. temps.... looks like this is a nocturnal-driven frozen event. I'm not even sure the temps are ever supposed to get below freezing before, during, after. 2. The stripe of good cement is pretty narrow and will most likely be a nowcast event. 3. the recent winters and non-events have cemented my skepticism on anything to do with snow. other than that I'm fully on board!!!!

How is this even possible.....?????? edit: to clarify this is in Ohio

Detroit averages about double what CMH does. A world of difference to me would be a tughill plateau winter, not a Detroit winter. Still, isn't Detroit sitting around 17" for the season? That would be fairly typically to where CMH would be sitting in mid Feb back when winters were 'normal'....that's what I was referring to when I made the 'Detroit is the new CMH' comparison, albeit a bit tongue and cheek. My daughter and son-in-law moved up to Chesterfield, MI a couple years ago for his MU med school. They haven't seemed that impressed with the snow. It's 64 degrees today as I type this, weren't we suppose to be in the midst of a good period of winter right now? It's crazy.

whose gonna break it to Josh that Detroit is the new CMH

Yep

This is why the Ohio thread is dead. I mean seriously, why f'ing bother.

Sorry but the MA forum has already claimed that storm

This beats his infamous excuse, "I nailed it at 5h" Basically this one is, if it wasn't for the warmth, it would have been cold

I was out this evening and it was 37 and raining on January 30. I thought the same thing, this might be the worst winter I remember. Even worse than the infamous 97-98 and 2011-2012, at least those had something to remember them by....granted 2011-12 was record warmth. This winter has just been agonizingly BORING. We had one week of cold weather that resulted in a couple of car toppers and I don't think my grass was ever completely covered. It doesn't help when pretty much every met, (except for a couple of our mets in this forum), kept a weenie on a stick for us since Nov. Looks like currently the can is sitting at mid February.....anyone wanna bet it gets kicked to the beginning of March? I did not get my usual wxbell subscription this winter but I do follow JB on twitter....I follow him because the comments mocking him are hilarious and well deserved. Call it climate change, climate cycling, whatever you want but clearly we are experiencing something strange in the weather. The headscratcher is that although the winters have been so warm and boring, we haven't had the same kind warmth increase in the summer. Extremes on the warm side for summer are as rare as extremes on the cold side for winter. It's like we've become a maritime climate. buzzed rant over

Yep, just got a hot tip from my broker, Bastardi says BUY BUY BUY!

why pronouns matter

A track from Louisiana to central WV in the heart of the coldest part of winter.

big lake effect in northern Indiana... ...reminds me, I wonder what Hoosierphile has been up to

Yea about the same in Westerville. The last few years our climo has been like Nashville without the ice storms.

I also thought Indy was our sister city in winter futility.

Subscriber numbers among weenies must be way down. Don’t know why else he would use an 850 Celsius temp map to hype cold. Pathetic

Let me guess... ...delayed but not denied

I see what you did there Gotta enjoy the next 2 days with some snow around…might be our whole winter.

/\ the Rip Van Winkle of weather

yep. I have a feeling this coming 'cold shot', (which isn't anything other than a typical severe cold shot we get every winter), will be all she wrote. I'm not buying the rock'n FEB bs. This is why I've slowly de-coupled myself from the winter wx aspect of this hobby the last few years. Sure, I still love severe wx events, but I'm thinking of changing to a new hobby, one that has a better chance of scoring than a central Ohio snowstorm. Gonna join the local Big Foot spotters club.
