Whitelakeroy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Day's like today are the worst with virga / clouds here and a nice band of snow is just to the south. While I know it will not be anything major but even sunshine would have been better than virga on a Saturday!!! I know I can't get them all but I just loathe virga!!! Rant over...

weatherbo Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 As lackluster as it is here (compared to farther north), you don't have to go too far south of here to really run into bad winter climo. from Laf south I'd live if my focus was mainly on being a thunderstorm/rain/heat type of weather nut. from Indy/Laf north to CHI/Milwaukee and over to Det, is a good mix of all seasons.... north of there, severe weather basically sux...

IMO Basically agree. I've posted maps before showing thunderstorm days/severe reports and average snowfall and that zone you mentioned has a good balance.

dilly84 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Update on my previous winter grade of an F was upgraded to a C today. Solid 7"- 8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOH Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 These 5.5" upgrade to a c-. This want a big dog, but If I can have a storm pull off a 12"+ this year, it's getting an A, no matter how crappy it's been so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Been watching a lot of past chase videos lately, and just got done reading most of the 6/12/13 thread. Definitely getting psyched for spring/chase season. I'm all for some more snow, but the itch is quickly starting to grow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 LR for next weekend is looking wetter vs. whiter for our neck of the woods. I can't decide how I feel about that. Depends on the minute you ask me. I suspect by the end of next week, as March 1 shows itself, I will be welcoming rain moreso than snow. This winter started full throttle 4 months ago....a 70 degree day, birds chirping, and forsythia blooming would be heaven right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 from Laf south I'd live if my focus was mainly on being a thunderstorm/rain/heat type of weather nut. from Indy/Laf north to CHI/Milwaukee and over to Det, is a good mix of all seasons.... north of there, severe weather basically sux... IMO The main problem I have with Detroit in the summer are the numerous cloudy days, between being down wind of the lakes (stratocumulus issues in the wake of cold fronts) and, due to its longitude, typically being in the cloud bearing region of the heat ridges (the region where the upper jet rounds the top of the heat ridge and dives SE). It's not as bad in Chicago, Indy/LAF and Milwaukee because they're SW of the lakes and tend to be closer to the center of the heat ridges, which keeps the cloud debris in those regions at relative bay.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This winter has felt exceptionally long because of all the boring down time between storms. We were fortunate to get a significant clipper in early January and also the first big, juiced-up storm in four years (superbowl), but other than those two events and the solid mid November system, there has been nothing at all.

ukrocks Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Looks like we will get at least a solid 10 days of snow cover here in Louisville. But, to be honest, if I don't get another big snow In the next 10 days, to hell with the cold, and give me warmth and severe thunderstorms.

IWXwx Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've had enough of these single-digit days. If we can just get back up to the 20s and stay there I'd be happy. I hear ya. Normal high for FWA tomorrow is 40°. It would seem like a real torch to come close to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Made it to 23 degrees today. Our average high is 50 now. Unreal, that we're going to be in the 20's most of this week and struggle to only hit freezing one day until Saturday. Looks like we warm up Sunday and then we get cold again.

Gilbertfly Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Trying to remember if there were any "good", all night long, backbuilding, noc jet thumps in the region. For some reason, a Des Moines train rings a bell at some point....just banter as my mind is drifting rapidly to spring/summer...

For some reason, a Des Moines train rings a bell at some point....just banter as my mind is drifting rapidly to spring/summer... And best wishes to schaumburgstorm on his recovery Thanks! Unfortunately my accident has put me into full blown "torch" mode. I am housebound with a few broken ribs, several broken vertebrae, and a shattered right humerus; so even the most minor snow is a real problem when it comes to me doing simple things such as grabbing the mail. My wife doesn't like to use the snowblower, so as a normally full blown snow weenie, I am finding that I am rooting hard for Morch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
