wisconsinwx Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 we've had a couple bad winters in a row, things will work out in the long run. Our climo slays, super dynamic with extremes on both ends If that is the case, then the NW suburbs of Milwaukee have had dreadful winters the last couple years. After December 2013, we got nickel and dimed the rest of winter (and even those December storms were right around 6" of snow). Your backyard had several 6"+ storms, did it not? I do agree that the climo from May through September pretty much rocks for Milwaukee and Chicago if you like to see t'storm action without stagnant heat for days on end.

Stebo Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Never knew you liked summer so much, why stay in Chicago? It's probably the coldest city in North America with more than a million people. Probably because people don't base their living location solely on weather. If that was the case I'd probably be in OKC or Wichita. because chicago rules Pretty much what Detroit should be if they actually took advantage of their waterfront instead of wasted it. Not to mention Chicago actually has a booming nightlife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If I had the choice, I'd probably bolt for a higher elevation Denver community. I'd have to research it more thoroughly before settling on a destination. I'd love the sun and massive mountain dumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 It would take a hurricane Katrina. Lol I could see Detroit being a better version of Cleveland some day. There just isn't enough growth to have another 1 million plus sized city right now. Detroit metro has 5 million people and only 650,000 live in the city, that will probably fall a tad more before heading back up. I could see the bottom being under 500,000. Downtown is turning around rapidly, but that is such a small part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it ever be like Chicago, probably not but it certainly will be better than what it has been since the early 80s when things really went sour fast. The more this metro gets into the tech/medical field the better off we will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more this metro gets into the tech/medical field the better off we will be.Right. Detroit is rapidly transitioning to a size it can sustain. There's been nothing but improvements in the last 3 years. I love the city. With all these negative locals it'd no wonder the city has taken this long to come back to the degree it has. Where would we be with people who actually supported their hometown lmao. Anyways... Back to weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just awful... While I'm sure NWS branches expected shifts southward, I'm not sure if they expected GGEM/GFS/EURO-esque type of erratic shifts. I''m all for putting a blowtorch to every single model at this point to kill them with fire. They been unrealistically terrible with just about every storm the past at leSt 2 seasons...

nwohweather Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Easy now folks, lets not see this turn into Accuweather during the dry winters we had a few years ago where people just got downright angry for no snow. Personally the models have not been too shabby, especially in the close range where they have really nailed dry slots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
