November 14, 201411 yr Ugh. I live east of Lake Michigan; we got 8 inches of snow - just yesterday. Is April here yet?

November 14, 201411 yr Ugh. I live east of Lake Michigan; we got 8 inches of snow - just yesterday. Is April here yet? Just make sure it melts by 8pm next Friday.
November 14, 201411 yr I'm a fan of extreme weather, including snow and cold. But even I was tired of it last winter. There have been predictions that this winter could be as bad.
November 14, 201411 yr It's in the 30s here in Austin. It's never this cold until January or February. This blows.
November 14, 201411 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 07:26 AM) Just make sure it melts by 8pm next Friday. According to the long term forecast it might not get above freezing at all for a week +.

November 14, 201411 yr Last winter beat the s*** out of me. Never minded winter until last year. God please give us a more mild winter

November 14, 201411 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 10:49 AM) We got 110 inches of snow last winter, they say that we'll only get 75 inches this year. You've got about 10 so far, so I am guessing that won't happen.
November 14, 201411 yr I was in MN all week, kind of nice to have the cold but not have to ever go outside to walk from hotel to the office. The only thing I like about winter is wearing boots.
November 14, 201411 yr The great lakes were pretty much frozen solid last winter. I would imagine that impacted how warm they got this summer and thus will not take much to freeze them up again this winter. On the bright side this causes the water level to rise which is a good thing. On pure speculation on my part but it makes good sense to me.

On pure speculation on my part but it makes good sense to me. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/b...0715-story.html from July: Ricky Castro, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Chicago office, said the water off some Chicago beaches has been in the upper 50s, quite a bit cooler than the usual summer readings in the 70s.
November 14, 201411 yr I'm excited to finally get a snow blower. I'm buying one this year and I hope I never have to use it.

The good thing for our side of the lake is the quicker the lake freezes, the quicker the lake effect snow stops.
November 14, 201411 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 03:17 PM) Moving 250 miles north means about 20 degrees colder. Welcome to the party.
November 14, 201411 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 02:17 PM) Moving 250 miles north means about 20 degrees colder. So what, it's 50 degrees?
November 14, 201411 yr It's been in the 30's for like 4 days and I'm done with winter already. Bring on spring.
November 17, 201411 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) So what, it's 50 degrees? We got all the way down to a light freeze in San Antonio.
November 17, 201411 yr Author Looks like more lake effect over the next few days. Four to 15 inches and a possible 1 to 2 inches of snowfall per hour.

November 17, 201411 yr Schools cancelled due to 1½ inches of snow. I really need to get out of this place.
November 18, 201411 yr The skin on my hands feels so dry that I'm scared to even look at them. I wish I had a bucket of moisturizer here so that I could completely submerge them for like an hour. This is me obliging the "complain about winter weather anytime in late fall through the end of winter" requirement for the day.
