And the only "real" 3 events during those two months were rainers. I still remember complaining on WWBB about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 IIRC MLI least snowiest season is 11.1". They're at 10.7" currently, so there's still technically a chance at a new all time least snowiest season lol. I'm sure they'll nickel and dime up into the 15-19" range eventually though.

Cary67 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Interesting graphic showing how lame even last winter was for a large portion of the subforum even compared to this year up to this point. Last Feb. southern half of LOT to DTW cashed in to offset those deficits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 This winter definitely feels more lame than last winter imby and that graphic backs it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow on the ground at Christmas definitely gives me the rose colored glasses to this winter to date. Fairly deep snowpack (by this winter's standards) heading into tonight. Good radiational cooling set up, the typical cold spots my make a run deep into the negative teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidIcewx Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Had some nice light snow to start work today was nice to have snowfall and on top of a snowpack. Really felt like winter. Enjoying it before we torch again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That week in November really padded the stats in South Bend. 30.2" in November, 8.9" in December, and 7.5" in January. 46.6" on the season...Last year at this time we had 24.8".

Last Feb. southern half of LOT to DTW cashed in to offset those deficits. Interesting graphic. Side note, I see your phone does the same annoying thing mine does when making a post lol. Crazy enough, with the half inch of snow today, Detroit actually is in an exact tie with last season to date. Both 2021-22 & 2022-23 were at 19.2" thru Jan 30th. Avg to Date is 24.2". Last season finished at 47.1", which is a 2.1" above avg but about 6" above the longterm avg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Mid to upper 40s returning to my forecast by the start of next week. I think it’s safe to say “February will not be rocking” this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Here's a little bone for beavis. GFS has 468 dm thicknesses getting into northern Maine in 3-4 days (actually has a pocket of 462 dm thicknesses in Canada!). Euro looks like it doesn't quite make it into Maine but it's very close.

Hoosier Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 CFS trended warmer on the recent run. Still a gradient look. The fate of this month will come down to what happens in the final 2-3 weeks, because the first part is definitely kind of trainwrecky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've been tracking that over the past couple of days. When was the last time we've seen a 462 dm thickness anywhere on a NA map, and a 468 dm thickness in the US? I know we often see very intense short-lived cold outbreaks here (late January 2019 is Exhibit A - ugh). But what will happen in New England is crazy - basically 36 hours of intense cold, then an incredibly quick warm-up to normal+ as if it never happened.

That's example what happened in our sub during the January 2019 outbreak. The Sunday following the Thursday in this graphic pushed 50+ degrees...

hawkeye_wx Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I'd give this winter a D. We are not terribly below avg snow, but it has been a nickel & dimer winter, and most of the snow has been at night. There has been no real big snow chance. It's just a very blah winter outside of the pre-Xmas blizzard (only a few inches). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
