The winters of 2009-10(Xmas blizzard) and 2012-13(thunder snow) were pretty great locally. Deep snow cover and wall to wall cold from December-April.

This is why Detroit is NOT known to reel-in SW flow Big Dogs. The last-minute NW "bump" is prolly a 95th percentile likelyhood in the history of snowstorms for this region.

snowstorm83 Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 The situation in KC sounds a lot like the New Years debacle in OMA/LNK, though not quite as bad.

CentralNebWeather Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 My area of Central Nebraska averages about 30" of snow a year. Last year we had close to 50" of snow, but this year as of today we've had 6.5". We really fluctuate from year to year. Usually, we have at least 1 or 2 storms a year that put down 6-8" or in some years a blizzard with 9-12" or more. So to go this long with virtually nothing is very odd. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past 4 winters have certainly been all or nothing in Lincoln. Those were some good and bad years for sure. I may have said on here previously that from Jan. 24 - Feb. 15, 2021, I used my snow blower 14 times. Not that it snowed 14 times, but some were multiple times during a storm, or winds blowing snow back across the sidewalks and my driveway. I have used it once this year on Dec. 3rd for a 2.5" snow. The other 2 snows were 1-3" but very dry and the wind blew a lot. Just a little shoveling in a couple of spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means should I be calling it a bust though. Because that's probably not the right term, just not the totals being shown. Solid snows for the first wave 4-8" maybe a little more where it's banding for sure...Change over will take a bit. Could be wrong, but I don't trust the Hi-res models.

Clinton Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 FWIW the radar echoes associated with the 2nd wave or main storm are way further NW than the hi-res models are showing. My WSW was extended until noon tomorrow but the weather service only forecasting 1-2 additional inches. The Hi-Res models have me on the NW edge of any accumulating snow, however the radar showing snow filling in between Witchita and Topeka got my attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it must be really frustrating seeing 10-15" totals on the ensembles, not to mention the lolipop totals from the operational runs and end up below forecast. It's happened here before and will again. The forecasters did a great job locally and pretty much came to fruition as predicted. ORD (which is 5 miles from me) picked up 5.6" while I scored just about 3.5" on the north side of Des Plaines but the local report is showing 4.2". Maybe my measurement was off due to the blowing/drifting. Nevertheless, I'm pretty stoked about the outcome. How many storms have we tracked that went farther north and hit the NW burbs? Gosh, I can't even county how many instances this has happened. The South side finally had their winter storm. The razor sharp gradient was very evident. The city and south really scored big time. MDW set a daily snowfall record (9.5") and broke the old record which was back during the GHD-1 storm (9.0"). MDW's final tally was a whopping 11.0". More lake effect snow today/tonight. This storm will end up being a S MW/SW MI Ground Hog Day Storm to remember....and to be continued down south where our friend @OKwx2k4is getting whalloped with snow. Surprised to see how much snow fell south of GRR and into Lansing, MI with 8-13" totals. These fronto set ups are tough to forecast from my experience in tracking systems with the models we have nowadays.

These models (globals) misled everyone, including the NWS pro's. How else do we go from them issuing maps showing 12-16" totals that end up 5-6" totals. I really thought we had put these kind of busts behind. But apparently Ma Nature wanted to make a point, and she did it here in SEMI today at our expense. At any rate, remember that ICON map showing the gradient of like 3-12" across this county. Not quite right, as the 12" amounts were up by KFNT and Saginaw, but a lot closer to the truth than the endless 19-21" amounts the GFS was showing for cycle after cycle. Glad you got something decent on the NW side, and Chicago in general had a huge success reeling this one in last minute. Climo gonna climo, lol. It was nice to see all the double digit hits up thru SMI, even if not here in mby. That was a nice single day storm, especially for non-LES locales like Lansing at nearly 13".

How else do we go from them issuing maps showing 12-16" totals that end up 5-6" totals. I really thought we had put these kind of busts behind. But apparently Ma Nature wanted to make a point, and she did it here in SEMI today at our expense. At any rate, remember that ICON map showing the gradient of like 3-12" across this county.

Your old stomping grounds at Kalamazoo did good with a solid 7-10" snowfall...anyway, glad your health is getting better. Enjoy the snow that you got and hope it hangs around for a while till Spring arrives...maybe, if its not another endless winter into Spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKwx2k4 Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 I'm not at all sorry for enjoying every last second of this. Thank you. Lol.. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKwx2k4 Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Its been more than 15 years since I've heard it roar and snow like this. At least more than 15 years. These days right here. That's why. That's all. I know it's so silly, but when I look outside on nights like tonight and it looks like a snowacane globe and I realize that I'm in Oklahoma and it's silly, I know. I just thank God for making me know what size I am and how very very special it is to still be thought highly of here and cared about after 6 years of my disappointments to you, failures beyond belief and disappointment in chasing hope sometimes like these little snowflakes flying by right now. If I was false hope, I'm so sorry and thank you for this moment. I've been checked out a bit after the warmest December in a millennium. Lol. Thsnk you all. Every one of you. Worst or first. I'm blessed beyond belief. Its a snowglobe outside! ❄ 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see how the landscape looks down there. What a storm, huh? I can't believe its been 15 years! That beats some of the members on here who are struggling to see a big snow. Temps in the mid 20's and heavy snow falling...I can only imagine what it looks like down there in the open fields. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Light snow falling this morning. I picked up an additional 1.5 overnight. Central Missouri has been hit 2 days in a row and 10-15 inch amounts are common from Sedalia east. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
