michsnowfreak Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Would love to see incorrect measurements at ORD again for this one... if it does snow anything between 4-8" it will probably cause controversy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveNay Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 if it does snow anything between 4-8" it will probably cause controversy lol. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-01-03/news/ct-mundelein-jeweler-snow-promo-tl-0109-20140103_1_snowfall-totals-refunds-national-weather-service A Mundelein jeweler who offered more than $150,000 in refunds if it snowed enough Wednesday morning said his insurance company won't pay the refunds because snowfall totals didn't reach the 3-inch threshold. P.K. Bennett Jewelers ran a promotion offering future refunds to customers who made purchases there from Black Friday to Christmas Eve if it snowed more than 3 inches at O'Hare International Airport from midnight to noon New Year's Day. But owner Rich Bennett said he was "extremely disappointed" when his insurance company informed him Friday that his claim was denied because of insufficient snowfall totals.

OMG....I remember ChicagoStorm saying that the totals were garbage from that storm, but thats the only time all winter I remember ORD's totals coming into question. And not to mention, official totals for first order stations are reported at 06z 12z, 18z, 00z, so there would be no "estimating" involved, you would ask LOT what ORD had at 18z January 1st. That sounds SUPER fishy to me. But yes it was a fun event. The anti-powerball storm. Snow fell for about 60 hours straight. DTW 12/31- 1.5" 01/01- 6.4" 01/02- 4.4" The totals were considered two storms by the NWS (1.2" + 11.1") due to it being two Ls. With only a few hour break of just flurries calling, it easily could be considered 1 storm but it was not. A much quicker storm dropped another 11 inches on the 5/6th, this one in a much more modest time period of less than 24 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaints here yet (it is only November), but it appears based on the med/long range thread that others may have some complaints... The complaint thread has become a staple. It usually starts in January, but now we are at page 6 in a November that has featured well below normal temps for all and normal to above normal snow for most if not all.

IWXwx Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Jason Puma at IND in this afternoon's disco mentions a new model to add to the suite. Hopefully it will perform better than what's currently available. GFS AND MAN SUGGEST THE COLD FRONT TO SWEEP ACROSS THE STATE ONSUNDAY NIGHT. AGAIN LITTLE SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE ALOFT...HOWEVERLOWER LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS PLENTIFUL AS DEW POINTS WILL CREEP INTO THE UPPER 40S AND LOWER LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS FAVORABLE. THUSWILL NEED TO INCLUDE POPS ON SUNDAY NIGHT FOR LOW AMOUNT PRECIPAMOUNTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I made fun of Jason's typo above, I might as well give Michael Skipper at IWX a little love. Afternoon disco says that the NAM is too deep and fast with moisture?! I'm shocked....shocked I tell you. CLOUDS WERE FILLING IN OVER THE AREA IN THE RELATIVELY THIN LOWLEVEL MOISTURE LAYER AROUND 925 MB. AIRCRAFT AND UPPER AIR SOUNDINGSSHOWED THIS RATHER SHALLOW LAYER OF MOISTURE WITH VERY DRY AND WARMCONDITIONS ALOFT UPSTREAM FROM ST LOUIS ALL OF THE WAY SOUTHWEST TOSPRINGFIELD MISSOURI. THE 12Z 12KM NAM AND GFS CONTINUE TO BE WAYTOO DEEP WITH MOISTURE AND WERE LIKELY BRINGING IN LOW CLOUDS...FOGAND DRIZZLE/LIGHT RAIN TOO FAST...ESPECIALLY THE NAM. AIRCRAFTSOUNDINGS INDICATED A MASSIVE AREA OF WARM AND DRY AIR ABOVE THEBASE OF THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION. BASED ON THESE FINDINGS...HAVEREJECTED THE NAM WITH THE CATEGORICAL PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATIONAT LIMA OF 80 PERCENT TONIGHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Decided that with the extended "blah" weather, that now would be a good time to buy a snow blower (since they all sold out the first 2 weeks in November). Looks like I can take my sweet time assembling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Silver lining is that biking season has been extended in lower Michigan. If it's Christmas though I'll start losing my mind.The mid November cold snap and frequent snow was way more uncommon than starting December the way we are. Recent winters have almost conditioned us to completely unreal expectations of what normal is anymore. I dont enjoy this start to December either, but id MUCH rather start this way with prospects of winter roaring in mid to late month than have it the other way around.
