Hoosier Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I went no, but the notion that it's even on the table is pretty crazy. Fwiw, I did some research and there has never been a year when Minneapolis reached 60" before Chicago reached 6". Possibly the closest time was back in the 1991-92 season when MSP was at 60.9" and ORD at 7.5" as of 12/5/1991. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1991, ORD crossed 6" on December 2, while MSP crossed 60" on December 5. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 With the pattern as it has been since mid-spring, MSP is the jackpot zone. I think its realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hoosier, it's probably quicker for you to figure this out lol, what is the greatest difference in a snow season between Chicago and Minneapolis each way? For Detroit... 1982-83: MSP 74.4", DTW 20.0" 2004-05: MSP 25.5", DTW 63.8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Minneapolis should beat Detroit more often than not seeing as though they average about 7 more inches, And Detroit recently had a good stretch where they beat Minneapolis 9 out of 15 times from 2002-03 to 2016-17. But what's really surprising is there's quite a few years where one city beats the other by 20+ inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been quite a few times when Minneapolis beat Chicago by like 20-40 inches. Obviously Chicago has done that too, but not as many times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 That back to back flip between MSP and CHI is wild. Just shows how every year is different. Mid continental troughs are the death kiss for any precip here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid continental troughs are the death kiss for any precip here. Not to derail the thread but back-to-back flips are actually fairly common for any given area. But I can't think of anything more dramatic than the flip Detroit saw many many years ago: 1880-81: 93.6" 1881-82: 13.2" 1880-81 still stands as the 13th coldest Winter on record and for over a century stood as the snowiest Winter on record until 94.9" in 2013-14 dethroned it. That is the Winter that Laura Ingalls Wilder's book "the long Winter" was about and you see those pictures of trains in the Dakota's buried in snow. 1881-82: This Winter stands as the 2nd least snowy on record, only 0.3" off #1. But more impressively its by far the warmest Winter on record. The 2nd warmest winter is 1.2° colder. Usually rankings in top 20 lists for long term climate sites are separated by tenths of degrees if that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Tide is turning. 0.50”-0.75” of very cold rain today, maybe a backend 1-2” I think the storm later this week is going to split the uprights and nail Dubuque and La Crosse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
