Really gotta rub it in huh

The snow that was in the forecast went to our SW so we ended up with no snowfall here in Grand Rapids. The temperature here in my yard held at 15 overnight and that is the current temperature here in my yard. The week ahead now looks to be mostly dry with just above average temperatures. There could be a chance of a rain/snow mix next weekend or even a chance of rain. We shall see how that plays out.

Some weather history for February 8th 1987 A powerful storm produced blizzard conditions in the Great Lakes Region. Winds gusted to 86 mph at Janesville WI and Cleveland OH received 12 inches of snow. North winds of 50 to 70 mph raised the water level of southern Lake Michigan two feet, and produced waves 12 to 18 feet high, causing seven million dollars damage along the Chicago area shoreline. It was the most damage caused by shoreline flooding and erosion in the history of the city of Chicago. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) and in 2013 A nor'easter produced heavy snowfall over the New England states.

Lots of cold air in Alaska and western Canada on the 0z EPS 360hr.. might mean a faster Pacific jet a little bit later.

51° with some rain out there.

I’m growing increasingly interested in English football. I feel like that’s where the roots of the sport are and it feels more intense than the bush league MLS. I just wish they played in the snow like gridiron football. One day I hope they play the Super Bowl in Chicago and the ballgame experiences a period of widespread blowing snow and temperatures at about 17°.
