DocATL Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 We’ve got to scrounge up 6 inches to hit our average for winter snowfall. Not sure 1.1 inches per month will cut it. On the bright side our drought may finally have a dent in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its much better than QC but its shockingly below avg for a La Nina. Fortunately its been nearly all snow except for a few meager lgt rain spurts.

sbnwx85 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Seems on fair that winter would be bookended by two big snowstorms with CAD in between. (Save the LE areas obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clippers have dusted Chicago a bit more than the rest of N. IL also. Every mile further E/NE under the trough helps. Great winter for Toronto that's like saying if marquette didn't have les snow, they'd have as much snow seasonal snow as la crosse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it seems Chicago has benefitted more from LES events than normal this winter for being on the wrong side of the lake. I don't have statistics for it though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have statistics for it though. It seemed that way to me too. And I don't even pay close attention. Seems like during several of our synoptic snowfalls here Chicago backed in with LES. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have statistics for it though. It would be hard to pull any long term statistics regarding that.Maybe tomorrow I’ll check to see how much of the seasonal snow thus far this season was pure LES. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
