Ice bowl 67 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I bet we have 2 feet on the ground. My Uncle said he's been in his current home since 2001 and this is the most snow he's seen us have since then. I wish I could upload some pics on here of the Snowpiles. They are like miniature Mountains and they will be here till May I'm pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Zero. Good thing too, because Atlanta can go into full panic mode the one or two times a year if we get a snowflake. . Edited February 19, 2019 by Augie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieG Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 about 3 inches in Kansas, with a little more on the way tomorrow. The local weather put a stat up last night, that we've received 20" this year. Its about twice the normal. I dared my wife to send the graphic back to our relatives in Buffalo...that's about a week's worth for them. We get more ice than snow. Freezing rain, turns to ice, maybe with a dusting of snow. And the roads end up like this: https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/dramatic-video-shows-15-car-pile-up-near-oak-grove That happened last week near KC. You almost expect to hear the Blues Brothers playing Sweet Home Chicago in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 My wife just landed in Pittsburgh and there’s a bit of snow, but more expected before she leaves for NYC and worried flights will be delayed. REALLY needs to get to NY. I tried to calm her saying they are familiar with snow, and don’t cancel flights like Atlanta would with the threat of a snowflake.

We get some in stops and starts. 3 here, melt, 2 there, melt, 4 here, that kind of thing. The most we've gotten since I've lived here (2002) was 15 inches. One nice thing about the snow here is that it does not have a lot of moisture content to it - very dry. You can almost use a leaf blower to move it out of the way.

Green Bay @ 7/50. It has been a weird year for WNY as far as snow goes. True we are over 100 inches but we got a decent amount in November, nothing in December-1st two weeks of Jan then I think we got nearly 60 inches the last 2 weeks of January. It comes & it melts though. You could see grass right now which just a few snow banks left over. Supposed to be in the 50s Sunday. We have got a lot of snow but it has been spread & it will hit then be melted in 2-3 days. This has happened about 5 or 6 times this winter(thaw) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Como Park is pretty much in my backyard. I walk my dogs thru it often. They have froze but have been closed every time I walk by it, not sure why. Maybe the ice is unsafe/too choppy.

The 9 inches of snow the city received Wednesday pushed it past the previous record of 26.5 inches, set back in 1962. According to CBS Minnesota, the last time 30 inches of snow fell in a single month in the Twin Cities – in December 2010 – the Metrodome roof collapsed.

Normal. 100" is 8.3' FEET. Even the average by this time is just over 6 feet. The snow never sticks around at our latitude and low elevation above sea level... Unless they are keeping it on a ski hill, tucked under a Northern or Eastern exposure. Or, it's an exceptionally harsh winters. The winners of the "Golden Snowglobe" contest is always between: Erie, Pa; BFLo, NY; & Syracuse, NY. Erie won last year. Rigged, like the NFL! LoL.. ? I can't remember a year where it all stayed throughout the winter, 1976-'77? Even Erie's whopping 198" last season didn't all stay around. That would be bad, very, VERY BAD. Donner Party Disaster, winter of 1846-'47 wall of snow bad!!! It ain't the High Sierras. I drove BFLo 4 times last winter and didn't encounter any walls of snow. Looked kind of normal.

Yes! But there are always wild swings. Things have actually stabilized out. March of 2012...One of the warmest ever. Many days in 80s. Even at the Falls, we were on Maid of The Mist, mid-March. This has been a typical stable winter with a few wild swings. More snow than average... But drawn out. By Prez Day here, snow under 2 inches should burn off by late afternoon. It's been sticking. A look at long range shows average, even below with no usual late February, early March warm-up. Here, I should be getting ready to take top off Jeep (to clean) in a few weeks. We normally have fishing boats come through soon too. Ice very heavy still. Edited February 22, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
