  1. Like 1993-94. Mild Dec even in NMI right til Christmas..before the bottom fell out
  2. So much for our eastern trough winter. Can we at least do as well in Jan as last winter, and maybe improve a bit on Feb. After that, I'm all spring all the time
  3. Most models have it now. 12z GEM was almost identical to 12z Euro fwiw on the far west end of guidance at 12z Monday morning. ICON furthest east clear over in W NY. Long ways til consensus on track, spin, moisture, etc. Will have a major impact on my chances to score via Lk Mich help. Staying tuned tho. Better than nada to track
  4. Yeah. Hard to imagine 19th Century was worse garbage for cold
  5. A lot of the Google Earth street images and satellite imagery around here actually dates back to late summer 2012. As you can see from this image of farms just NW of town, your crops were TOAST if you didn't have an irrigation system! Qualifies as worst wx of the decade in my book. Drought/Heatwaves are least fave wx - period!
  6. Prolly not something that has happened on very many Christmas Days down through the ages..
  7. Dropped into the 20s overnight again. Hope everyone has a good Christmas and the New Year brings the return of winter. EC showing a system 2nd/3rd for us but too far away to move the needle. Let's see if it can hold onto the idea?
  8. More than doubled last Dec's snowfall. I still have some patches of snow OTG this morning to go with the fog. Life's good..
  9. I remember early season Euro "monthly" snow departure maps. Dec was a dud (check), but Jan and especially Feb were AN to much AN. So there's that fwiw.
  10. Didn't the UP have a stretch of BN snowfall winters? Were you up there for them?
  11. Which is the opposite of what "low solar" should be bringing us. This 3rd rock from the sun is really screwed up!
  12. This one's actually been decent by this decade's stds (which isn't saying much tbh) December futility rankings this past decade (based on 1"+ snow cover days): 1. 2014 2. 2018 3. 2015 4. 2011 5. 2019? 6. 2012
  13. Didn't Chi-town get lucky with that Christmas '14 system? Razor thin marginal cold but still worked out for y'all. I could see something like that I suppose. Deepest snow around here that month was "T"
  14. It may come a bit south of that in the end, but ultimately for those of us not in the far N or NW of this sub, this is a continuation of last winter's "haves" and "have nots"
  15. Those maps look good on the surface. They say nothing wrt timing of cold/moisture and just how much snow is produced where. Other than that caveat, I have zero issues with 'em.
  16. Even better is the nice covering of white I've had this week before Christmas and it came in a way that didn't really snarl traffic much. Light duty clean-up too. Perfecto! for this busy time..
  17. Euro also has followed the GEFS lead in taking the EPO more than a little bit negative, and it's weeklies are looking colder as well. TBD tho on the battle of the MJO. I think endless torch or blah wx may have been over sold
  18. Was last Dec any better up your way??
  19. It was bad. Sustained winter was a 3-4 week period from Jan 18th into Feb, but even that included a mega-torch on the heals of the PV visit, so using the word "sustained" is questionable at best. Snowfall totals for the season were/are extremely misleading due to a snowy (but useless) November and scattered minor hits after mid-Feb. I felt like an Ohioan
  20. Scored a very nice 2.5" overnight. Was really ripping around 04z-05z. Great little holiday season surprise
  21. Thanks! The pre-frontal WSW winds are unfavorable here, but they're shifting more westerly and the ground is whitening up now. I have measurable snow for the 2nd time in a week, better than some can say. Glad to see you scoring too! Let's Winter! (for a day or two anyways)
  22. Taking away TBD 2019-20, a strong majority of those years were good around the Lwr Lakes fwiw
  23. Let's see if my dice toss comes up box cars or snake eyes with tonight's headlines
