Tom needs to sprinkle some of his magic dust over my way, lol My call for this wintry pattern to settle farther east and south across our Sub Forum is going to pan out my friend...and it starts later this week into the weekend. I think you guys out in MI are in for a historic stretch of Winter this month wrt epic LES and a busy storm train. This pattern setting up is really amazing in the model world and one that I've never witnessed seeing before for the MW/GL's. The -NAO block will deliver the goods over here.

OttumwaSnomow Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Here just west of Ottumwa we had a slow start and missed out on the earlier snows that Desmoines and Ames got. But since Dec 28th its been crazy! 29.5 right now 2019-2020 42.0 2018 -2019 72.4 Oct and Nov 2018 were incredible and set the tone for what I think was a record season here. Cuad Cities area crept past me at end of that season. I dont accept the official Ottumwa numbers as I have seen them to be in error.. Im consistently higher. I think they are daily numbers measure each morning. Not every 6 hour intervals. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also nice to receive your best snowfalls during met Winter and not wasting them in the late Autumn or Spring months. We haven't nearly cashed in like most of you did out west earlier on in the season but it sure has come on strong in late January. I'm waiting for the latest update to come out for Chicago but I believe we cracked the 30" mark for the season yesterday. Edit: I just checked and to my surprise, ORD ended up with a higher total than I previously posted and recorded 3.9"! Season total is now up to 32.4". Wow, what a turnaround and we ain't even close to being done yet! I really believe the majority of our Sub still has at the very least a solid month to go with sustained Winter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 ORD tacked on another 0.5" of snow yesterday and with the additional 0.1" that was record on the morning of the 9th, ORD is officially up to an "even steven" 33.0" for the season. We are now only a few inches away from normal which we will likely hit, or surpass, by the end of this weekend.

Tom Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 As a result of yesterday's snowfall, my expectations that ORD would reach the seasonal norm for snowfall at ORD came into fruition. The 3.2" that fell yesterday brought the season total up to 36.7"! Thus far, this has been a phenomenal stretch of winter for Chicago and it appears we still have a lot more to go. ORD is 11.7" above normal for the season and 6.7" above normal for the month to date. Could we crack 50" this season??? If all works out just right, we may be able to do so by weeks end...I can't believe I'm even saying such a thing given how sad this season started. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
