Grizzcoat Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I never give up on winter- no matter the "winter" - until late March / early April. Too many big storms can happen even in a quiet year here in IA. But after that; you won't see me here until next Fall as SVR weather is both WAY overdone in forecasted by NWS and SPC. Esp compared to winter SVR weather. I will only chase a MOD/HIGH in summer and then only if I'am near the center of the cone. It's a waste unless you can make $$ on it. Driving 100's of miles to see a wall cloud that by chance I can see without driving and staying home (and same chance of seeing a tornado) is not worth it. Summer time forecasted SVR weather is overrated much like big time forecasted snow storms in the Plains.. I need to move -- to -- where? Probably stay here and roll the dice. 2 Quote 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.

It's looking like, at least through the forecasts, that we'll get rain into Wednesday morning. It's already quite dark as it's moving into the DFw area right now. Temps still at 46. Won't move much. It's long overdue that we got some winter weather. Question: will we see a very dry spring down here ?

mlgamer Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Saw a report the AO hit it's highest level ever on Monday.... Beat a record from 1990.Here's a link (below) discussing this. A few interesting quotes: "The most recently observed Arctic Oscillation is the highest daily value in our historical record (6.34), breaking the past record from February 26th, 1990 (5.91)." "Projections of the AO show it remaining strongly positive into early March and then trending toward more of a weakly positive phase by late March. If these projections are correct, they would offer little promise for sustained severe winter weather in the mid-latitudes..." "The strongly positive AO this winter fits into a pattern of the past several winters, which have also seen this generally mild pattern prevail. “We haven’t had a truly negative AO winter since 2012-2013,” said Judah Cohen, a meteorologist at Atmospheric and Environmental Research, in an interview." It also seems to me that we haven't had a sustained negative NAO during winter for quite some time either, but I don't have any data handy to confirm that one way or another. Hopefully we get some "real" winters again soon. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/02/10/record-arctic-oscillation/ 3 Quote 23-24 seasonal snow total: 17.8" (as of 3/9/24) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the former SMI forum, I was one of, if not the oldest regular poster. I was always chided when mentioning that winters in my youth were worse. It was chalked-up to "fish story syndrome" where the fish that got away gets a little bigger with each passing year of telling the tale. Well, a little nugget found in Deedler's stat write-up confirms my memory was indeed accurate and not just hyperbole. My folk's place was about 10 miles directly downwind from KFNT so storms rolling thru the county meant we got pretty much what was recorded there. You can see from this stat, winter during my 6th grade (1975-76) was the snowiest start for that region, even beating 2013-14 by a notable margin thru January. That's saying something! Now keep in mind, that was on the heels of 1974-75, the former record snowiest winter at KFNT (with almost 84" until 2013-14 eventually surpassed by season's end). Add to this the fact that the next (3) winters 77/78/79 were the infamous trio of worst winters in history for the GL's region wrt cold &/or snow and you understand that for my locale, it was really more like the "Fab Five" historic winters in a row! Ofc, the caveat is that as a younger kid just growing up, I thought all of that historic stuff was "normal", lol. It was only much later that I came to know and fully appreciate the extreme uniqueness of that stretch of winter bliss. 2 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 52.8" (89% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.1 Apr: 0.0 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = xx.x" 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...
