OAX is actually at 10.2". Their YTD average is 24.5".

The worst part of this winter living in NE or WI is how it seemed like everything missed us.

Chicago is close to normal, 60 miles north and you're half of normal.

Just north of Southern Wisconsin in Green Bay

I'd love to see something like this for NE, because clearly we were both in a total screw zone.

Why was this moved to the everything else forum? The purpose of this thread was to consolidate posts that b!tch and moan about unfavorable weather patterns in the Midwest forum to one thread so that it didn't bring down the mood in the weather threads. It has served its purpose well and should be moved back and re-pinned.

Edit: I see hawkstwelve moved it so he's probably not aware of the history that caused this thread to be created in the first place, but yeah, it needs to be there. 

A few loose fingers sorta hijacked this thread and turned it into politics, but that's not what it's supposed to be. It's 100% about Midwest weather.

After the past year, I think we've already built our weather karma back up since 2018-19 and 2020-21. It's time for some rain and actual snow next winter. I know weather doesn't actually work like that but at this point it's like cmon do something 😂

Totally Mr Layer!!!!

Texas is absolutely sick of the heat and the lack of rain.  Everyone is getting pretty grumpy if not downright depressed.   
Good news is temps will drop for the next 2 weeks in Texas and rain is in the forecast.  Hallelujah!!

Droughts have one benefit.  They kill off Japanese beetle larvae in the lawns.  Last summer's drought worked marvelously in that regard.  Otherwise, I hate drought.

Our border is wide open and an estimated 5 million have crossed in 20 months

We are at WAR

Inflation is wiping out the middle class

Supply chains are so messed up

Cities are crumbling with crime and the homelessness

Censoring free speech

Record low amount of students have enrolled into the Public School system throughout the country.. we all know why

High Gas Prices...just terrible and so avoidable 

Record home utility bills

Americans are hurting, very very sad.

I moved to Ottumwa  Iowa in 2008 after having lived in different  rural locations  of Maryland  and Pennsylvania  over 36 years. And i spent 5 years in Bolivia South America.  I must say the numbers and averages  of climate in SE Iowa totally  misled me!! In eastern  states where precip  averages  are the same as here or even less particularly  in summer months. Ive come to basically  despise the weather here. Especially  since I own large  lawn care and snow removal  business.  My first  4 yrs 2008 to 2011 were great weather years. Never saw 1 burned up lawn.  Then what  shock 2012!!!  60 90 degree days and 20 over 100F and horrid dry!  Heres some facts about my weather  here since 2012

2013 long drought

2014 almost perfect years regular precip

2015 dry summer after wet start

2016  lots of timely  pop-ups so good yr

2017 horrible localized drought  may 15 to sept  near record low precip. 

 

2018 rains return dry at times

2019  green summer

2020 nice green summer!

2021 wet then late aug to mid October  drought!

2022 driest start to a  year since  1988!! Some rain but  continous huge shortfalls..

MY QUESTION:

Is wapello  county iowa the driest (frequency  of drought) spot   this far east in continental  usa?  I absolutely  think so.

Ottumwa  iowa isnt Oklahoma, west tex, Nebraska, kansas or Dakotas!!!!  Im 80 miles  to the Mississippi  river!

I challenge  anyone to prove me wrong. Particularly  during the  growing season! We regularly  have spent long long periods on the drought monitor  since june 2012! If another location  anywhere east of here has been  on that monitor  more i cant find it!!! Can you?

You are in a pretty anomalous drought area over the last decade. Another weird region like yours, only 30 miles to my north has been like that. Northwest Arkansas (Benton/Washington counties) has been through the ringer vs my area. Weird decade since 2011-12s green Christmas here.

Can I complain about CA weather in here? Down here there's a deep marine layer with no end in sight. That's something we usually don't see except for May and early June here. The clouds are wasteful with very little rain. Drought is increasing and yet it is cold and damp and miserable. Not far north there was lots of rain and lowland snow. If that could make it through here the inversion would be a goner and the stupid marine layer would go on vacation like it usually does this time of year.

Remember what starts in California usually spreads through the rest of the country.

It’s been dry further north of you as well.
The southern Midwest got there before you. Seems this thing migrated.  
North Texas has had a beautiful Fall.

Well with the Colorado Low missing me again here are some stats I would just like to throw out there. It's laughable.

Last year total snow: 4.3"

This year so far: 3.5"

Last time I seen a 6"+ storm: Jan. 2020 (will be 3 years on the 25th)

Last time above average precip for any month: June 2022

Total times dry slotted this year: This will be the 5th since Oct.

If it’s not going to “winter”  here in lower MI hopefully we can at least get some good moisture. It’s been really dry in the southern thumb area especially. I know people with ponds that are at their lowest they have been in over 20 years.

I think the late week storm next week will be slopfest for mby. Yes, it will turn colder, but still averaging AN. By the following week, 23rd and afterwards, is where BN temps begin and the start of snow chances begin, (hopefully not misses).  Other cities, such as on the EC has gotten also very little snow, if at all. Everyone wants to know, what is going on? The media is going nuts over this.....saying, (Where is Winter??). I.e., my neighbor yesterday asked me.."Where is Winter.? I havent used my ne snowblower yet. LOL. I simply told him, that all players have to be lined up perfectly  and are just not attm. He looked at me like, what players??.....I told him a few details that he did not know. He was impressed.

KC getting screwed again.  Rinse and repeat.  We finally get some storms, and it's a parade of snow 100 miles north of us while we wallow around in the puddles. 

We feel your pain in Omaha… we can’t catch a break here as we watch our neighbors up north reel in storm after storm. Still stuck in the single digits for seasonal snowfall in January (second Winter in a row). Starting to despise Nebraska winters!

I've read a lot of various analyses over the past couple of days about the outlook for January.  Unfortunately, other than Minnesota and to a lesser extent the Dakotas, I don't think there's any particular reason to believe that winter is returning any time soon for our sub.  I was hopeful that the second half of January would get cold again, which would bring KC at least a chance of snow.  It's actually starting to look like another 2011-2012.  The current forecast has KC with AN temps for the next 16 days.  Not a single BN day.  Sucks . . .  Even Joe Bastardi is starting to hedge a little bit.  

 

 

Bastardi’s a moron. Just look up his recent rambling incoherent “interview” with Tucker from the other week 😂😂
