Winter kicked in a little too late, but as they say, better late than neva. The odd thing is that just to my north. And I mean only a county or two. They've managed to avoid the total torch-offs and have actually had quite a nice snow cover going for some weeks now. 94 counties have been like the cut-off between the haves and have-nots this winter.

Bummer. That is like a stab in the back. Also, not sure why the NWS has avoided to add a WSW thus far this Winter. They are just hung up on WAA for some apparent reason. I.E., back in January, the snowstorm in my area gave me more than 6", which is WSW criteria. Another I.E., is the previous snowstorm (just a couple of days ago) which gave me 6.6", meanwhile, I was in a WAA. 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

This county (Calhoun) has been hit four times with 7-10" and not one single Watch or Warning for any of those storms. We finally got a watch for this windstorm (dumb), and the warning that they did trigger (after-the-fact) for end of January ended up missing us entirely. I think monkeys tossing darts would score better with headlines here! I know it belongs in the rant thread, but being robbed of proper headlines when they were due, is 50% of the heartburn I have with this winter. 2 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...

gabel23 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 This is impressive for us this winter. This write up came from Hastings NWS yesterday. LONGEST STREAK AT-OR-BELOW FREEZING IN DECADES?- Although both Grand Island/Hastings actually briefly touched 32degrees today, this was still the 15th-CONSECUTIVE DAY that bothsites remained AT-OR-BELOW freezing (streak began Feb. 15th)- Based on our official forecast, this streak of remaining at-or-below freezing could POTENTIALLY last through at least March 8th,which would bring it up to at least 22 days!- The last time Grand Island (GRI) had at least a 22 day streak ofat-or-below freezing was 36 years ago, with a 22-day stretchfrom Dec. 9-30, 1983. The record-longest streak is 31 days fromJan. 22-Feb. 21, 1936.- The last time Hastings (HSI) had at least a 22 day streak of at-or-below freezing was actually the record-longest streak of 30days, way back from Jan. 23-Feb. 21, 1936. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm83 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Wow, below normal precip winter out towards the panhandle. 13.9" for DJF in Scottsbluff vs. 46.1" for Omaha. Usually that would be the other way around. Scottsbluff is typically a bit warmer and drier but rain is basically unheard of in the winter. 1 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" 2021-22: 5.1" Average: 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
