I know you are a very brave soul to go out on a long and thin limb to fire-up a thread..may The Force be with you Jackstraw

Can always count on OH peeps for a pick-me-up when I'm feeling down on my winter luck up here in the Mitt

Apparently all interest in riding was abandoned between Jan 6th, and this evening??

In addition, we've not been in the jack-zone since the Dec 2016 storm. Getting fringed (see next event) for multiple seasons is taking it's toll on winter weenie morale, lol

My part of SMI has actually had it worse. That nice stretch from Jan 12 to Feb 1st didn't start here until the 18th, then was promptly washed away a few days later. This Nina-esque pattern here has resembled hard come-easy go vs the more typical easy come-easy go seen with a true Nina. If it wasn't for a rare snowy Nov, I'd be considerably below normal during MET winter.

Umm. But you love it up there and wouldn't have it any other way. Right?

Wondering if that's over-blown? That looks too robust for mby. I'm sure you'll do well tho.

Must pay for our December to remember

If only Lk. Michigan were another 80 miles wider, what a difference it would make for the LES. You're right about that!

Never got the big one in my 7 seasons up there..enjoy the ride!

When exactly? March of 2008?

You'd better know some peeps in really high places to score kismet outta this winter!

Agree with you that getting zero snow for 6 wks of MET winter is "inexcusable", nonetheless 4 storms and a couple surprise LES events have managed to find mby so my largest gripe is the rapid torch-offs when we did get decent snowfall. Back in 82-83 it was much worse. Waited all winter without enough snow to even remember. Then, just when you thought it was over, one final storm on the spring equinox hit with a solid 10". It was a nice consolation bone chucked our way. I'd be fine with something like that to cap this rough winter. I'd really like a monster snowstorm though, and this region used to get biggies in March during my youth. I think you could argue we're over-due actually for a March monster

Yep. Wash, rinse, repeat. How does anyone who likes winter endure the state of Ohio??

Chicago and S Lakes sure need one good storm to make up for most of MET winter's lameness. (and nothing against those to my west getting a historic run either)

Not to mention an existing deep snow pack which always amplifies effects. Totally baffled that no parts of Yooper-land are under a bliz warning.

With some models taking it down to 966 mb, perhaps an even better November bomb analog would be the Nov '89 blizzard. That one bottomed at 964 mb near the southern end of James Bay

No, but it shows it fizzling out as it gets to MI

Backside over-performed for SWMI and took mby to a 6.5" total. Better than any snowfall map I glimpsed by any model. So, while the front-end was a big let down, over all I'm pleased with the outcome here.

117" somewhere in the Keweenaw and not in recent times iirc

..sigh. my regular expression for winter '18-19

Guessing you didn't notice you were in the COMPLAINT THREAD

You must've gotten the more dynamic weenie band. Just 0.7" of dense pixie stuff back here. At least it's white again..

Thus, something will. go. wrong. (fyp)

ANOTHER 2-incher for mby. The punishment shall continue - wonderful
