Chicago obviously is where it's at for the gay pride. I actually met @A-L-E-K at a baseball game years ago while i was in town and explored boystown after the game. that was awesome, we also had to evacuate to the inner concourse because a tor warned cell was rolling through real powerful synergy in that moment 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 17 hours ago, Stevo6899 said: Puppy bowl all day I just turned to watch Bugs Bunny when the halftime show was on. Nothing against the headline performer, but I'm an old skool R&B fan (in other words, my taste in music is simply not aligned with the 2026 mainstream audience). I didn't watch Kendrick Lamar's performance either last year. The actual game was pitiful, although it is funny how badly Drake Maye was finally exposed after the run he had... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Forgot about this one from several days ago, dusted by WAA snows, with 0.5" at ORD... …2025/26 Season Snowfall... 32.1" - ORD 24.0" - RFD Just shy of having the most snow in a season at ORD since 2021/22, and on pace to rank as the 3rd snowiest seasons since the back-to-back big snow seasons of 2013/14 and 2014/15.

Brian D Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Models still working things out, but the 1st one in a series could be a good hit my way. Was anticipating some good stm potential this month for the sub, but thought it would start a little earlier. Better late, than never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Gradient pattern looks to be setting up for a bit for the far Northwoods. Interesting in that i was thinking/hoping for a 2007-08 esque gradient pattern during winter, but the persistent cold/NW flow had other ideas.

michsnowfreak Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago MET Winter 2025-26 at Detroit DJF avg temp: 25.2F (-3.2F) 43rd coldest out of 153 years Coldest since 2014-15 Coldest temp: -10F on Jan 24 # of days with a low below 0F: 5 (most since 2018-19) # of days with a low 9F or colder: 21 (most since 2014-15) # of days with a low 32F or colder: 83 (most since 2013-14) # of days with a HIGH 32F or colder: 45 (most since 2014-15) DJF precip: 3.92” (-2.64”) 17th driest out of 153 years Driest since 2020-21 DJF snowfall: 32.9” (-2.5”) 51st snowiest out of 153 years Snowiest since 2020-21 Largest snowstorm: 6.1” – Jan 14/15Season snowfall thru 2/28- 38.8” (+1.5”) Days with 1”+ snowcover: 61 (most since 2013-14) Days with 6”+ snowcover: 21 (most since 2014-15) Peak snow depth: 9” (Jan 26, Jan 27, Jan 28, Jan 29, Feb 7) 19th most days with 1”+ snowcover out of 121 years Insane stat- In a winter full of deep cold and white ground, we managed to touch 60F+ 3 times this cold winter. Each time was a very brief but rapid spike. While not close to the record of 7, these 3 days were spaced out one in each month DJF. This is only the 2nd time on record this occurred. The other time was a very warm winter (1889-90). Lets compare- In an era when everyone wants to compare things to CC, the irony is that this winter most closely resembled a handful of winters from the 1900s-1910s. The cold temperatures, frequent snowfall, and solid blanket of snow that covered the ground most of the time but without any huge storms, and with NO big precip makers, is a throwback to the colder, drier climate of that era. Two in a Row- This is the 2nd colder than normal winter in a row. Last winter finished 0.9F below avg and this one 3.2F below avg. Last winter saw average snowcover despite below avg snowfall, so this is also 2 years in a row where snow covered the ground in a greater capacity than would be expected with the amount of snow that fell. If I had to guess- Ill say next winter locally will be milder with less snowcover but a bigger snowstorm than each of these past 2 winters.
