Found the deepest "drift" in my yard...4 inches. Surrounded by maybe a half inch with grass sticking out. Winds never got over 35 here. This might be the biggest disappointment I've had out of all the SEMI busts. 

Just enough to turn the roads to garbage and not even enough for a real white Christmas.

It's already below 0 on Monroe County. The wind chills are already 20 below. Pretty much happened as I expected it would yesterday. We'll probably end up around 2" from the "storm" here and then you once again will probably get more lake effect tomorrow than you got from the actual storm.

Once I got a look at the system when it was within 12 hours away, I could tell it was moisture starved. It's a rare swing and miss by the GFS within 24 hours. Usually by that time the storm is depicted pretty close to how it plays out, this time that didn't follow suit.

The cold is meh...

Basically a complete bust. 

I have picked up more snow from random LES showers more than a few times this winter so far.

One of the weirdest busts in the last 20 years.

Maybe half an inch?

If this results in an inch we'll be lucky.

This is going to primarily be a lake effect event.

How's the weather these days on the mid atlantic?

I would typically by more disappointed with the amount of snow forecasted, but considering it's gonna torch by next weekend, I really could care less.  

Same.... I couldn't care any less.

It basically gives us a better Christmas scenery

Euro snow map?

John Dee's winter prognostication is supposed to come out tomorrow(10/26).  Waiting in anticipation!   

He doesn't put any stock in his own predictions, why should I?

GHD 2011 in Chicago, or NYE 2008 in Detroit's NW suburbs.

Oppressive day but DTW "only" hit 94.

93° on my weather station, which is a 2022 high temp. Also hit 9.7 on the UV index. Year high. The previous UV high was June 3rd. Even though the sun angle is still getting stronger, the humidity impacts how much makes it to the ground.

Records start May 12th 2022

For one example of how higher end max temps have seemingly become harder to come by in recent years, I did some digging.  In the era of O'Hare being the official ob site for Chicago (since 1980), today was the 49th time that the max temp has reached 98 degrees or higher.  That averages out to just over one per year, but that's very misleading.  Prior to today, it had not happened since 2012.  But during the 1980s, it happened in 3 consecutive years not once, but twice!

Summers don't feel as rough as they used to be, bur that probably has more to do with my lack of AC growing up.

I'm working out in Battle Creek today. 

93F.

My backyard 79.5.

Feels great. Too bad that you won't be here next week for our mid 90's.

A little better to my west, but Michigan is looking at 24 hours above normal. 

Next Wednesday 

27 day total precip

Doesn't look anything like the GFS.

This entire year has been horrendous. 

I really want out.

Ironically, it's sunny here today.... but for how long?

I'd take any dark yellow or blue. I'll fly to the mountain west for snowmobiling.

If I could move my kids, girlfriend and company to a sunny location tomorrow -- I would.

Very done with the clouds. Just feels like a waste of life.

Every March & April I contemplate ways to move out of the Midwest

3 to 4 inches here

I remember the storm very well.  I was coming home from visiting Indiana and arrived at 1 am on the 15th and could barely make it down my road and not up my drive at all.  There was 30" of glacier snow otg beforehand and 50 ish inches when all was said and done.  It was a heavy/wet snow too.

 

EDIT-  I grabbed both of these pics from the storm thread here on the board.  Apparently I posted that it had snowed 28-30" in a 53 hour period.

This was the view from inside looking out.  I posted this same pic back then.

 

Trails are closed March 31st. Can't do much with April snow.
