Honestly at this rate, I wouldn't be shocked to see us without a single subzero low this year. It's happened once before here. Not saying it will happen, but as long as the PV favors Eurasia, as well as areas North of here having little to no snowpack, it'll be hard to come across any real cold. By the time any drastic pattern change happens at this rate, it may be too late or not intense enough to support subzeros. Especially seeing models are showing a somewhat similar pattern for January, albeit less dry.

Feb 1899, it happened in Chicago next to Lk. Michigan. It can certainly happen in The Plains by you. Hoping you aren't suffering with bare ground tho like they did.

Usually don't post here as I'am always postive in life. But lately down. Being a snow lover. Other things matter more in life, but this as a weather deal?   DSM is easily on pace (2.7" through this season of snow as of this writing ) the record low is is between 8.5 and 9.0" for a winter season. It just doesn't snow anymore in the DSM area--- which would lead one to believe DSM is due...-- I haven't even needed a snowblower in the last 3 years and the last two years; a shovel has been basically replaced buy a broom or air blower--  broom when we do get snow showers. Desperate  in Des Moines... Asking for help for my mental stability. :o) The constant brown ground has got me down--- what do I do??? HA. Those who think Nebraska is down- what about DSM? Will hang up and listen to thoughts and ideas... Past the  point of even Tom helping- I think I need serious professional help.....

06Z GFS says let it snow where it snows and NO SNOW where it doesnt snow.And it doesn't snow anymore in C.IA. At least to make 1" in a 24hr period. This pattern sucks. I personally think DSM has a serious shot of going under 15" of snow for the winter season and a good shot at breaking the all time record for least snowiest (between 8-9")


 


Any takers??? I give 10 to 1 on the least snowiest winter on record  at this range for DSM--- which really should be 137:1. ( or so)   2.7" through the end of DEC should be enticing. I take bets via paypal - Who  wants to make a proposition? Talk is cheap. Actions matter and results are worth bragging. I like Tom and all, but if he was a betting man with his positiviness - he would be bankrupt . No issues agst TOM- he brings light to my day, but nothing in C.IA (not mby, but a large region) is going on. It's the worst winter since -- 2-3 years ago. Winters here have consistently sucked to the point that even OMA and LNK have more snow in the past 3 years than DSM to this date. (no issues to my friends out W-- just that typically DSM sees more moisture than you)   I'am willing to wager that DSM will not see over 15" the entire winter which I believe is at least top 10 crap.  One - two or even 5 times - I get it, randomness. But this is talking 20 or so storms (events)  since last Winter where DSM has gotten not only the shaft, but the ladder to the abyss. One would think averages would work out, but averages in DSM over the past 4-5 years for snowfall are near lowest ever observed for any 4-5 period since 1878/.


 


d**n AGM GLobal Warming. I might just buy some "carbon credits" --- to "offset" this anomaly. Bigger "HA!" . But some take it serious, so I regress. Even myself after a weather rant and being passionate and all understand that the weather is uncontrollable and that life posses bigger issues (which I have) . It's like randomness in a bottle--- just wish this "randomness" would come around here some time this winter-- I will even take next winter. Enough. Sorry for the rant. And I wish the snow lovers the best. Get it when you can, cause the lean times are coming.

I have always thought animals have a sense we humans do not. Today (no joke) I saw several large flocks of Canadian Geese flying NORTH. I think they sense that foreseeable future is more March like than the dead of winter.

Hiema is Latin for “winter”, according to google translate.

I'm about ready to start rooting for severe wx.

 

In The Mitt we can't even cheer for that anymore. Winter's 90% of the wx excitement around here.

Yeah I paid attention to the mitt last spring/Summer. Looked brutal there. Absolutely zero thunderstorms from what I saw. At least in the bustiest years here we're guaranteed at least a couple tornado watches and a severe storm or two.

You know there is (has been) no winter when the topic comes to svr weather in early Jan. But... there is more, order now and receive a double shot of winter. Just pay shipping and handling and you will receive your order in as early as 3 weeks!!

So windy here today the grass clippings are blowing around!!! instead of blowing snow - it's blowing grass in early JAN!!  :o

 

2.7" snowfall total for the season at DSM.  1.7" since late NOV. On pace to shatter the (least amount ever recorded)  record of 8" and change..... trace for 2019- on pace for a trace for 2019. . It just doesn't snow here. I haven't even needed to use a shovel this season.Not ONE TIME.!! At least I can laugh at those who went out and bought brand new snowblowers before the NOV storm that never was... In all seriousness there hasn't been but one 6"+ snowfall here in the last 3 years to even use a snowblower. Getting one ready for storage with draining the gas and all could be done in DEC!!!  Oh yeah- "Winter" is half over Jan 14th.

Still no subzero readings here. We need a massive pattern change fast or it'll be the second season in history without any subzero temps. Our average window to see them is roughly mid-December to mid-February.

I can see it easily happening-- especially with no snow on the ground. Sarcasm intentional.
