Ice is worse than 20' of snow. My old Jeep is brutal... Doors won't shut until I get it in garage and heat... For ice scraper... Use a round plastic bowl... Like a sturdy Tupperware. Put opening on windows and whirl away! Here is commercial versions: Edited April 15, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois
/dev/null Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Gonna be a rainy day. Mid 70s but still raining
Beast Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) This is the type of weather that makes people move. Edited April 15, 2018 by Binghamton Beast
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Look at bright side. You can park vehicles on street at night past tommorrow. Well at least how it was in S Cheektowaga growing up. 11/15 to 4/15, no street parking. That rule is as old as the hills... And looks like still works, after tomorrow, temps moderate, get warmer for the haul. Here... It's 2" or more, no street parking.

sherpa Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Just follow the jet stream. In late March and April it really moves, sometimes many hundreds of miles in a week. It forms a boundary as the Canadian and Arctic try to warm up. North of it is cold, south is warm. Look at it today.http://www.intellicast.com/National/Wind/JetStream.aspx Strong low in the northern central portion of the country. Guess where the bad weather is?

I'd say: 1994 Heat: 1995 I remember 96 being really bad up here. Maybe your thinking of that year down there too? Your right about 95. We had a 107 degree day in Green Bay that year! My Aunt and Uncle got married that year and I just remember the entire summer seemed sunny, Hot and dry. Then we had a really bad winter that got cold in early November and dragged on tell into May. I also remember a winter where we had not a drop of snow on the ground tell January 31st. I have pictures of the bare ground and we never got any snow up until that point. I would say that was 2002.

Then we had a really bad winter that got cold in early November and dragged on tell into May. No. 1994 was bad. I had an RA flare. Very cold, then I was running around in rain around Groundhog day... Went downhill month of February/March and then slow climb out starting in April. Probably worse, but that flare sticks in my mind... Then married @ end of May. Wife got every test on me imaginable before she closed the sale. Low grade fevers didn't burn out till September of that year. Honeymoon in British Columbia/Alberta in June did wonders! She should have had the psych e v a l... I guess she can still get a Church annulment, her Ace being held to get out of deal. Shrewd lady! 1992 here was not cool either. Shoveling snow @ Work November 1st... Only time I ever got stuck car in snow was March of 1993... February 1994 was Olympics. Fiance was driving up from Champaign... Normally 2 hour drive... Took her 10 hours or so. The State police kept closing I-57...Losing road... She couldn't turn back to Champaign/Urbana because storm was moving north, she "crossed the Rubicon"'... All hotels, no-vacancy. I was up here, she only went off road once, but bounced into snow drift and went back on road... Providence! Edited April 15, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois
Augie Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 I have a sister in Appleton, WI. They are both retired. She has lived there 23 years and I’ve never been up to visit. My parents were by me, so she always came to me....and resents that I never go there. Until this year....when the Bills play the Packers! They complain about the weather, but it’s very affordable living. Both their daughters have moved near us and our mother in Atlanta. The kids may be the thing to move them south, since the weather never broke them.

I wanna say stretch in in the below zero teens, actual temps. Ice was bad at work, when we didn't have bubblers, we'd have to chip by hand. River project depth is 9 feet deep. Was like a "Slurpee" top of water to bottom. So bad, the big horsepower Southern boats make their way up from The Gulf. Took a 5,000hp boat to back in, with his wheels washing, to make it through blanket of ice... Hours working it... What normally takes 10 minutes. Coldest I felt was 2008, Baraboo, WI... Actual temp was almost -30°F... I wanna say 2008, or was it 2007? That was when GB lost to Giants... 2008? 1 minute ago, /dev/null said: amateur, Erie got almost that much on Christmas I know! They were freaking here. Got about 10 million people between WI, IL, IN, and they were freaking out. Bad thing is, too damn flat. Can have no snow on road, then a 6 foot drift.
Ice bowl 67 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Posted April 15, 2018 20.6 inches now in Green Bay and counting.

We didn't have any snow on the ground in March. Then the last week of March we have been pounded into oblivion.
