Please keep posting these. It’s extremely relevant

The clipper one is fascinating to me and I’d love to hear a met’s take on why we don’t see those? Maybe @MAG5035 could elaborate?

If someone wants to post date to prove me wrong, feel free. Where the changes really feel different are a couple places. one, there is still cold and snow but not quite as many extended cold snaps. Snow cover over a longer period seems less. there also seems to be a change in the types of systems we get. I’d love to know what happened to clippers. I remember we used to get a couple 1-3 or 2-4 type clippers a year and I don’t feel we have in 10 years. The lakes definitely did not used to be open for LES al year. They used to freeze in January cutting off LES. That change seems almost undeniable. I mentioned this to Tim, it doesn’t seem we set up for front end events anymore. Those events we used to go from snow, to ice, then possibly rain seem gone. It always seems to be we are simply riding a kid or snow line immediately. I can’t remember the last time we got a miller b with mixing issues but still a good front end 2-4 inch type thump.

But I also think it is relevant. I don’t think you can argue that winters have been overall warmer. You also can’t argue that the lakes used to regularly shut off for LES by January as they froze but really don’t anymore. We hadn’t had a true Alberta clipper in years here. I don’t know how all these things tie together, but they are very relevant to our local discussion

I know. The response to what is a meteorological fact, which we discuss on here, was way over the top and shows how unfortunately politicized science has become

It’s amazing how triggered some of you get at any hint of climate change talk

I’d rather die lol

Long range GFS is pretty uninteresting with no real sign of a pattern reset. Hopefully we get a window later in February but the first part of the month looks like a shut out.

I also think the fact two of those 8-12 events were in March makes us misremember them since it melts fast. That 2018 match event was prolonged and I’m not sure the roads ever even caved.

Yep. There was a pretty big gap from 2010 to 2018 with nothing but was better in that stretch.

Funny enough that one performed better further east. I got over a foot in the north hills on that one. I think out towards Indiana they had a stretch of three hours they got under the deform and had 8 inches in that time.

Any amount is enough to cause havoc on the roads. I want none of it

Also, when was the last time we had a good 2-4 inch front end thump transitioning to slop? It seems that those storms are something we don’t get and feels like we got them all the time 10-15 years ago.

Yeah not a particular fan of this scenario. Last few HRRR runs have trended precip shield north of the city though leaving us in a dry slot. im fine with that.

Also this seems like another instance where we are going from single digits to near 40 in 24 hours. Seems to happen a lot here.

Things look a little dicey tomorrow morning especially north

I do think that there will still be snow. I also think though certain patterns have changed. LES snow used to regularly cut off by January as the lakes froze. Clippers really don’t seem to be a thing anymore. To go with the LES part it seems to be because extended cold snaps don’t happen as much anymore.

So you know how I mentioned it was also dangerous to be outside in cold weather. KC had a bunch of cases of frostbite and hypothermia during their game.

Look I’m willing to play nice. hopefully short. If it is extended we start running out of time for a better storm fast

So, are we going to be looking at any other potential in the next few weeks? These last couple seem like a wasted opportunity for a bigger event but maybe the pattern resets end of month?

Wtf? This is weird as hell. you guys need help badly.

I blocked you four btw. It’s extremely creepy you guys stalk my Reddit. Like really obsessed with me for some reason.

You know what, I’m out. You all need major help.

Don’t ask innocent. I can go back through threads and find post after post of you taking shots at me.

And maybe if these three, who a few are probably Pittsburghrants, would lay off I’d back down. The reason I’m so hyper sensitive to this is because multiple periods I’ve been on this board I’ve literally had someone making multiple accounts to harass me.
