Wagons south on the first storm.  Think there’s gonna be a nice band of double digit totals 

At least we’ll get some snow.  Maybe even 2 advisories between the 2 waves

I see that madwx made this just the banter thread instead of the bitch and moan thread. Well, I'm still using it for its God intended purpose. If I don't get some snow from either the first or second wave this week, I'm lighting this place up. (See seasonal snowfall below for northeast IN, one penny at a time).

complaining goes in the Mid Atlantic forum.

We’re gonna have to expand the dates of this thread or create a second one.  The southern stream storm doesn’t really clear the area until Saturday morning at the earliest 

Congrats MSP twice

What if I told you that the Midwest view on Pivotal showed the entire sub forum and didn’t show any unneccesary areas like Alabama 

folks, the Midwest regional view on Pivotal is so much better, it even goes all the way down to the Kentucky/Tennessee border.  Much better option than the trash Ohio Valley view that cuts off north of Detroit.

SSW incoming.  Jan 15-Feb15 might be rockin.

Lol 

Now this is banter

12z Euro a little more interesting with the storm on the 23-25.  Really lingers the low and dumps a lot of snow over Wisconsin

Even worse for the east coast establishment, is the ocean was drained by this storm. They will need some actual phasing in the future............something this winter does not like to do. That said, this was a miss for a lot. The overrunning was very contained.

I heard you can walk to the Titanic now

the extreme dryness over CA and into the mountain west is never a good look, they have a real problem brewing out there

 

can't wait for the mega west coast ridge to assert itself all of next year.  Maybe they'll get a Nino transition next summer to help them out.

From the LR thread:

A clipper miss to the north and the rinse repeat El Nino track providing winter from Detroit and Central Ohio and pts east through the end of the month. Outside of the 2 day rainer giving us all our December precip its been warm and dry since late October.

I feel like storm systems used to spin up in the lee of the Rockies and then raise hell (winter + severe) from there to the east coast throughout winter and spring. For the better part of the last decade it seems like everything forms/intensifies east of us. The only impact events the Midwest gets anymore are sneaky mesoscale accidents like the August derecho.

meh, 2007-14 really skewed perception.  If you think about 2000-2005 or the 90s you realize it all balances out.  

Surprise clear blue skies today.  Pretty nice for what is usually one of the cloudiest months of the year

So, I was just reviewing my outdoor photos taken around southern Wisconsin during the 2006-'07 winter and I noticed something...

In photos taken on December 29, 2006, there was BARE GROUND. Not a trace of snow anywhere.

In photos taken on March 11, 2007, there were large dirty piles/glaciers on every curb and in every parking lot. The melt-off was well underway, but clearly a LOT of snow fell during that roughly 10-week interval. I don't recall the particulars of that winter in southern Wisconsin very well since I spent the bulk of it in northeast Wisconsin while attending UW-Green Bay (kind of like what @Geoboy645 is doing now), but I recall it being pretty snowy up there as well.

So there is hope...maybe it won't meet Beavis standards, but at least it's something for the rest of us.

Big snowstorm in late February that year.  Got 15”-20” with it.  I remember we were only expecting about a foot but the WAA wing really over performed 

we definitely got a localized jackpot here.  6" at my place and between 6-9 throughout the county.  MSN jackpot from 2007 is back baby.   

MSN got down to 10 this morning.  still only at 13 right now, a good 13 degrees cooler than areas nearby with much less snowcover

12z HRRR coming in much more realistic with snow totals in S WI.  Expecting about 3-5" here

the multi year trends will not be denied

I would give a lot of things for the severe season 1991 had not just locally but nationally. 

2020 was supposed to be second coming of 1990 and busted hard so it would only be fair if we get that emotional roller coaster again

We’ve had 2 decent winter storms so far. I’m already ready for spring. In just 18 days the amount of sunlight will be increasing each day. 

this guy gets it

Got me thinking.  I'm not even sure it's possible to get a single winter storm to cover the entire subforum, though there have been some big spread the wealth events.

I agree.  A super clipper would probably leave Iowa high and dry and a gulf low or panhandle hook would either leave Minneapolis in the ice box or give rain to ohio
