3/15-3/16 Winter Storm

[Chicago Storm]

Last Feb was actually a better winter month overall for NE IL/SE WI, but for the entire winter I guess you can make the argument that last winter was worse. Not setting the bar very high here though.

i shared the stats not too long ago.

this is our best season in terms of both snow and cold in several years.

Snowing pretty good despite relatively mundane reflectivity.

Blizzard in ORD come on guys lmao

Enjoy your rainstorm. I will do the same. Unfortunate bust for pretty much all of us.

Other than Nov 28-29 big storms have avoided us completely here in Mid-Michigan. One the worst stretches of my life in that regard. Midland's climo history is not that great for Big Dogs fwiw. Harrison is marginally better but still kind in-between the target zones.

What’s your outlook for this event?

For mby? 4+ melting down to puddles, then the backside blasting thru making a frozen mess of everything for several days. Then spring happens next weekend. The Robins are not too pleased with back-2-back storms greeting their arrival.

I read in one of the AFDs that places to the north of I 94 may get 18-36 inches of snow.

I'm so jealous because I wanted my Uncle in La Crosse to have to shovel 2 feet of snow. Now he is only going to get maybe 8-14 inches with some sleet. Damn. I wanted him to get slammed with the 18-36 ha ha, then he has to dig snow. I was gonna call him up and brag about low 90s in south Texas while he breaks his back in deep snow with drifts on top of it.

90s in March is not the flex you think it is.

You're right, its not. But low 90s in March is a lot better than having to deal with heavy snow and blizzard strength winds. I mean, you guys are definitely up to it, but I am aging and I can't any more. All I like to do now is watch it fall but that's it.

 

McHenry are you trying to tell me that Texas is going to have a very bad record hot summer this year?

Hi-res models have swung the heavy death band south of the metro now. 50 miles will make the difference between 12-15” and 18-24”

I've had more snow than most on this sub, including a white Christmas. But, another year of just an avg season (fail), and no warning-level storms (fail), and depth never reached dbl-digits (fail). But I did have 99 consecutive days of legit snow cover (I don't count "T" as snow cover days). How do I score this one? 

What was your peak depth? Detroit peaked at 9" Jan 26-29 and Feb 7.

Enjoy guys

I’m not sure I quite buy it. They’ve held steady all day on the band over the metro. Seems odd that there is such a dramatic shift in one run as things are starting.

New hi-res NAM really sucking any fun out of Illinois for the event in terms of high amounts. Even furthest western parts of the state.
