Chitown Storm 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... And best wishes to schaumburgstorm on his recovery You're evil, as we're headed for another few nights of -10ish temps. Summer and nocturnal MCSs are not even close. Ha! Good luck Schaumburgstorm on your recovery. Scary stuff for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Forecast calling for 4-6" there. If that verifies Huntsville will have a bigger snow event so far this winter than many parts of MN and WI. Now that's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 And I had to laugh at the Civil Emergency for impassable roads... A 3-10" storm up here would hardly make a road impassable (even if untreated) and would be considered run of the mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Found this site that has snowfall totals so far for northern AL. Some 10" measurements coming in! http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/lsr/#HUN/201502250600/201502260559/0100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Looks like 17.1" is the biggest snowstorm on record for Huntsville and they've only had a handful of other events greater than 6", so this is a really big deal for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 We've been above freezing for almost 48 hours, but we're about to drop back below freezing for another 60 hours before we begin the warmup Saturday afternoon. Our snowpack is losing the battle with the sun angle. It'll be gone by Monday if I had to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It would be nice if we could get one of those snowfalls here. Yet another reason why the STJ really needs to grow a pair of balls... Seriously. Lake Michigan has saved this winter for my area. We have yet to get a good synoptic snowstorm in West Central Michigan. This upcoming week shows what has pretty much gone on here for the 6 years I have lived here. One storm hits Indiana, the other goes north and gives us ice and rain. If I didn't have lake effect snow to "save me", my average annual snowfall would be way below normal like Alpena's. The zone from here to Alpena just has not seen many good storms for the past 5 to 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lake effect areas have been doing pretty good though. I have yet to snow blow my driveway up at our place this year and we have been up there every weekend but one since late Dec. The snow we have been getting has only been a few inches at a time, no big heavy storms yet. Crazy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember years ago when I was living in Indiana, I was jealous of the number wound up systems for the Dakota's and Minnesota. Seems like forever since the N part of our Sub had a good, widespread round of systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had a NE wind lake effect event in January? We're on the north side of Higgins Lake, about 10 miles south of Grayling. There was about a foot of snow on the ground when we left Sunday. Early March is pretty much always the best for snowdepth up around there. We'll see what happens this year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I remember years ago when I was living in Indiana, I was jealous of the number wound up systems for the Dakota's and Minnesota. Seems like forever since the N part of our Sub had a good, widespread round of systems. Seems to come and go in waves, but your right Northern lower hasn't had a good system snow since March of 2013 IMHO. Not that I am complaining because we have the lake for here but it would be nice to get at least one decent synoptic event a year. But areas such as Houghton lake up to Alpena what a horrible spot to have to be when areas 40 miles away have 4x+ the snow. With all that being said i am ready for summer, already planning on skipping spring again same as last year never really had one. The cold Lakes are going to play havoc with our spring/summer again this year sad to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Just a FYI. Seasonal totals mean jack and what matters most is below normal, normal, above, and to some degree how you got there. Thus if you average 30 and got 39 then you really shouldn't be saying a word to someone who averages 50 and got 59. Ofcourse i doubt we'll hear a peep now from a certain few ( Who always forget that above ) TILL the next snowstorm heads for S.Michigan.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 On another note.. Just one more day ( today ) then this brutal cold can leave.. Will come as a shock to some ears/eyes but yeah i am about ready for some 40-50+ weather.. Have always loved winter but this is a bit much with the brutal cold. Heck normal will be nice..

Quite frankly, I'm ready for a Spring/Summer torch after back-to-back winters of hellish cold. IT's pretty much been the antithesis of the 2010-2012 seasons the past 2 years.

Northern_IN_Wx Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Never experienced more than 2.5 inches of snow with one event this winter...was out of town for the Feb 1 15 incher. Persistent snow cover for the second half of winter has been nice though. Just overall boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
