I was just wondering if there was anything worth discussing around the lack of snow in Newberry. It seems as if there has been a lot of lake effect snow occurring but we have some of the lowest snow levels in the state. In addition to monitoring Johndee.com, I frequently check NWS, intellicast, and Ontario weather (for the TASA area). I have been noticing that predictions of snow are almost completely unrealized. Whenever I see anything predicted, even when I look at the radar and it seems like everything is in place to be delivering snow, nothing falls or activity is so light, no significant accumulation occurs.
It just seems like the couple years have been this way...where for some reason, snow is falling in many surrounding areas, but not here in Newberry (on M-28). I moved to Newberry from downstate anticipating what I had experience for approximately 10 years of snowmobiling in the area.
I am looking for a rather technical discussion, not generalized comments about lake effect being isolated. Maybe there have been some attributes present in the lake effect snow events that I could understand better to explain why we just aren't getting any snow when it seems like favorable conditions have existed and well developed lake effect snows seem to appear on radar and satellite scans (and do produce significant amounts in some areas).
I am aware that Newberry is probably in the southern 1/2 of the Superior Lake Effect area and as such, typically experiences reduced totals...but normally, localized predictions do take that into account for our area.
