Meanwhile, I'm sitting at only 1.81", below avg halfway through the month. Given the extended forecast, we may end up below avg for the entire month.I am much above for the month of May.

jaster220 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hands down, one of the best 7-day stretches of the season thus far... Must be sweet. While not a complete washout like this past weekend, the forecast has trended wetter both Sat and Sunday over here in the Mitt. Then it gets sunny and nice again Tue->Thur then more rain in the picture for the MDW. When will we catch a nice n dry weekend?? 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKwx2k4 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hope so. Can you imagine fishing and all of a sudden you see a Meteotsunami, or experience it outta nowhere. Geez!That stuff makes you wonder. It has always made wonder if that's not what took the 'Fitz' down back in '75. It had all the ingredients in place. Enhanced storm pressure and a high underwater surface gradient would have made a perfect sudden tsunami event like this. There would have been no warning or way to prepare for it at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
