Mainly just not getting any lake enhancement + sloppy drizzly sub 1-inch WAA sludge. It’s early, but below normal temp days with sunshine and not a flurry to be found is not normal climo for here. If it’s in the 20s there should be some fluff in the air at times. I was just hopeful this was going to be a year where the snowpack can build.

What happened to lake effect? Warm lake temps going to waste. Bunch of weak garbage clippers.

Making up for the slow onset by avoiding the dry slot. Good night!

Long duration WAA can’t fail too bad. It’s not one of those quick hitting systems that depend entirely on heavy rates.

That would be unusual. I’m just used to dry layers below the DGZ screwing with flake size during WAA snow events with an east wind, especially the early part of the storm. The good thing is this is a long duration event.

I don’t know what kind of ratios this is. I prefer to look at 10:1 and bump it up a little in my head. It’s hard to get 15:1 or better this time of year without lake enhancement. WAA snow tends to be somewhat denser, at least in my area with E wind off the land.

Holland picked up in 3 days the same that fell all summer. Localized cloudburst dropped over 2” in about 45 minutes IMBY this evening. Heaviest I have seen it rain this whole year. This isn’t on that map yet. SE side of GR needed it so bad.

These polar jet breakups that drive cool polar air down to latitudes where it is unseasonably have become more common if anything. We had that big Texas freeze a few years back. Just recently New Orleans had a significant snowfall.

Lake Michigan can produce dumps well into February, though more synoptic forcing becomes necessary the later you go it seems. Lake Eerie OTOH typically shuts down after any prolonged cold.

Too early for me. 50s at night is great, but not even reaching 70 in the middle of the afternoon is a bit much. Plus lake effect clouds.

I’d love to post more meteorological stuff, but I can’t afford the paywalls. I miss university times. Not being at my laptop most of the time also makes posting graphics more of a pain. I’m really not good with the phone. There is a double standard regarding winter and snow as everyone bitches and moans about Cold And Dry or rainy slop.

I think plenty of things I don’t say. I’m not a bully so I just leave it. Not everyone has the same interests. I like storms and I also like greenness, so lack of rain bums me out. Having to water my plants constantly is also frustrating. I know most people don’t care and don’t have a drought where they live. Just don’t read what you aren’t interested in. If one person can commiserate it’s worth it to me and the rest can just skip past and enjoy themselves. What’s the point in stirring drama?

Who said nelson isn’t free? I don’t think anyone should be banned if they are live and let live and don’t start drama. Everyone has different passions. I don’t care about heat so I just scroll past Spartsman complaining about not hitting 90 enough. Who cares. Why does the whole internet need to turn into f***ing reddit with gatekeeping?

I ignore this forum for long periods when nothing of interest is happening so be happy. Starting drama for no reason is what is really boring.

You are annoying. Just scroll the fuck past if you don’t want to read asshole. I don’t read half the shit posted here. Why don’t you post something?
