Couple of feet of snow on the roof and frozen gutters and I've got an ice dam and water in the family room.

2010 hottest climate year on record, NASA says

Clearly the only solution is to have more posh climate summits so that foreign dignitaries can fly private jets to 5 star resorts to tell us all how we're destroying the planet with our large carbon footprints while they consume more fossil fuels in a single trip than many of us will in our entire lives.

I'll stop b*tching about the climate change alarmists the day that just 50% of them fly commercial to these stupid summits.

Possible Snow-pacalypse in Chicago... Apparently 12-18 inches of snow possible Tuesday into Wednesday... I'm not holding my breath on this one

It would be nice to get a powder day at a local hill for a change however...

Forecast just jumped to 20 inches for a narrow track, which I am currently in the center of... I am gonna be mega-******ed if the guessers are wrong on this...

5-8" here in the next day or so. Already have had 55" this season, above normal. IIRC, it's now snowed 19 days this month.

It would have snowed more than 19 if we didn't have that stretch where we had subzero temps.

True.

Yep. Air temps that cold just don't hold any moisture at all.

Indeed. In fact, some of the temps and dew points were reaching industrial dry room levels. In some cases they actually surpassed them. -40 degrees F is a pretty common dew point for a special dry room. Parts of Minnesota nearly reached -60.

Re: The Winter Weather thread - 2010 - 2011. Shovel this!!

And I believe it snowed on a day where the low was below zero (high was 5 degress that day I think?).

Either way, I'm too lazy to actually figure out all the numbers, but I believe that except for two or three days this month, it either snowed or the low was below zero every day.

It can snow at that temperature - you just need a strong enough system to the south to pull the moisture northward over the shallow dome of frigid air.

16-22 inches in the next 2 days here, supposedly. You always like to hear "potentially dangerous situation" and "historic" in your winter weather forecasts. Is Minnesota not getting this Snowpocalypse? My aunt and uncle need to drive to Rochester on Wednesday afternoon.
