michsnowfreak Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 1911-12 was known here as a brutal winter, and its always forgotten than December was so mild. November was very cold (almost identical to Nov 2014 in fact), December was very mild, and then January-April were brutally cold, especially Jan & Feb. Snowfall was well above normal too. 1923-24 on the other hand...November was seasonable (not very cold like 2014), and December was an absolute torch (of which I do not see 2014 as such)....then Jan-Apr was colder than normal every month, not extreme, but certainly colder than normal. Snowfall was slightly below normal. Not saying it cant be an analog, but sensible weather doesnt seem to be a match so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Do you see 1911-1912 as a possible analog? I am not good with analogs lol...I am good at analyzing the hell out of WHAT happened in the past, not WHY it happened. I rely on others to name the analogs, then I go to work . I had heard 1911-12 mentioned in here thats why I brought it up. And to be honest, I just dont see a 1923- type torch in December. It would take a lot more than a 5-day inferno (on the longrange ensembles no less) to make the monthly mean be so warm (as it was in 1923). Dec 1923 is the 4th warmest on record. In fact, its funny to look at....the top 4 warmest Decembers are well before my time 1.) 1881 (40.6F) 2.) 1889 (39.2F) 3.) 1877 (38.1F) 4.) 1923 (37.7F) 5.) 2006 (37.4F) avg 30.1F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Weekend could've been a good icing event with more cold air. You look at the maps and see a rather respectable high pressure to the north but there's just not much cold air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Getting some solid light to occasionally moderate snow, nice little surprise when we were expecting a couple flakes at best, also some light snow/flurries for a time last night.

wisconsinwx Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Had a brief snow shower here. Not quite enough to call it more than a trace. Had a pretty uniform half inch to inch of snow through most of the northern half of the Milwaukee metro area. 1.2" even recorded in Pewaukee.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Icy? Yes and plus Toronto drivers are horrible at handling any snow. To be fair, though, it's one of the most traffic congested cities in North America that gets wintry precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
