Where's the Snow? (Chicago, Ohio, Columbus: beach, yard, average)

[prhill]

The east coast just got a ton of snow again like they did last year when we again got nothing here.

pfffft, spend a summer in Atlanta or Dallas where it's in the 90's all summer long.

flamadiddle why when I get that here. Which is why people ***** all summer about how hot it is and how the bill is so damn high from running the air 24/7 and how gas is high for the car again from running the air all the time. And how tired and irritable everyone is and how they are sick of all the bugs we deal with and on and on

Shouldn't this also reflect the east coast too?

No.. we don't get noreasters, the east coast does.

NWS Nor'easter Information

The U.S. East Coast provides an ideal breeding ground for Nor’easters. During winter, the polar jet stream transports cold Arctic air southward across the plains of Canada and the United States, then eastward toward the Atlantic Ocean where warm air from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic tries to move northward. The warm waters of the Gulf Stream help keep the coastal waters relatively mild during the winter, which in turn helps warm the cold winter air over the water. This difference in temperature between the warm air over the water and cold Arctic air over the land is the fuel that feeds Nor’easters.

On average, Chicago gets about 10 inches less snow than Boston per year, but of course it varies by year.

No thanks. lol

Here in Boston we have just shoveled out from consecutive 1-foot snow storms within 3 days. I did notice that it's going to be about 48 on Sunday, though...

MassVt I envy you. I bought new boots and snow shovel last fall as the experts claimed we would have a real winter for once and as usual they were wrong as we have had nothing all year.
