This winter man, some said it couldn't out due last year in suckiness, but as of now, it is in my books. This time last year I think I had 15-16" of snow. Vs not even a foot this year. Moreover, it's either rainy and 33 or 9 and brown grass. Big slap in the face when all your arctic air leaves and you have absolutely zero blocking leading to a warm cutter party for everyone. Given to the screw over that January has been, not holding my breath for February, since in December, January was gonna be the "big month." I guess we'll see, come on February, bring us a really great backloaded winter, we need it. Whining over.

2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha)

TOTAL: 10.2"

(12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") 

(1/1: 6.4")

Wow, this has turned into a KY/TN winter around SMI. I don't think Jan 2012 was this warm and showery. Krazy

Since I began recording snowfall ten years ago my lowest January snowfall has been 4.2 inches.  The model trend suggests this January may end up with 0.  The closest I've come to that was January 2013.  That month I had nothing until 0.1" on January 20th, then nothing else until a 6.0" storm on Jan 30th.  That winter went on to be very snowy after Feb 20th and didn't stop until late March.

season snowfall: 34.8"

'22-23: 30.2"      '21-22: 27.1"      '20-21: 52.5"      '19-20: 36.2"      '18-19: 50.2"      '17-18: 39.5"

Average snowfall: ~30"

This winter blows.

 

Gonna take a 2nd half miracle to change that sentiment! Usually, a turd remains a turd. Can't remember a single one that transformed into GOLD. Any Alchemists in the house?? We sure could use one!

Winter '12-'13 we had only 5 inches through Jan 29th, half as much as the current crap winter.  We ended up with 34 inches.  It did nothing but snow from Feb 21st to Mar 25th.

I remember that winter. Blocking was non existent through January and then like magic, both AO and NAO tanked through March and even into April I think.

We still got the shaft that year despite you guys getting hammered. Still cleaning the dirt out of my ears from all of those blowing dust advisories.

2012-13 ended up one of only 2 below average winters here in the past 9 years. So, while I'm glad that winter turned to gold for somebody, sounds like you were in a lucky but narrow corridor that benefitted from the pattern flip. Speaking personally just for SMI, my original statement is valid. IF this were to go the route 2012-13 went for Iowa, it'd be the first time I'm aware of in roughly the last 50 yrs for SMI. I did read about a winter that had a similar remarkable flip for the UP of Mich. I think it was 01-02 iirc.

You guys need faith

 

Donald Trump will make America snow again

Nah, that's not going to happen when his buddy Pruitt lifts all restrictions on clean air and pumps the atmosphere full of C02. Expect summer conditions 10 months out of the year with a month for spring and a month for fall.

Can't believe the money I've wasted on Weatherbell this year and last. Frustration and futility. Why even be cold at all? Just a waste of electricity.

I used to think a lot of JB --- but lost a lot of confidence in him the last several winters. He covers his arse pretty good when things don't work his way-- this year will likely be that the E.Coast worked out and will forget about the epic bust in the C.PLains for both temps and snowfall. Flake to Flake??  Yeah whatever and it's snowing again in N Africa.  I wonder how many subscribers he has there?

 

I stopped paying weatherbell several years ago and thought I would just join in OCT this past year. Glad I didn't.

The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Lol. Hayden Fry was a mediocre coach at best and Ferentz just continues that streak of mediocrity being passed off as greatness at Iowa.

Never said a word about iowa. although nebraska is now as mediocre as them. although nebraska is doing it with better recruits... Congrats. Though being the lowest rated academic institution in the conference probably helps with the recruits part

Lol at putting Nebraska in the same category as Iowa in football. Yea I'm sure Iowa has put out a few 1996 teams.

 

 

And the dig at the end is pretty lame as well.
