    Did you look for a hotel outside the path of totality? I was able to get one for a reasonable/normal rate about a mile outside the zone (near St. Louis). Like you said, a lot of stuff in the path is a higher price/already booked.

    Can't say it's been a quiet start, overall. If you just look at tornado reports, there aren't many years outdoing this one so far.

    Man that's brutal!

    Wikipedia has a nice summary and listing of tornadoes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_March_2–3,_2012

    Sorry folks. There was stuff being posted all over the board.

    Couple images from SPC from that day. I do remember the focus/target area that day being pretty broad. Then attention quickly shifted toward Joplin.

    Can't imagine being so close to total devastation as you were. You were in the outer fringes of the tornado IIRC?

    What happened in that event? Was it a case of completely missing the lake effect potential or just being off with the placement of the band?

    great pic!

    I can tell you all about it...we specialize in 80 degree dews in the LAF. Plainfield is a good reminder that you still need to keep an eye out on days that may not look like much tornadic wise at first glance.

    bump...here's another version of the Peoria sounding from the Plainfield tornado day. Sick, sick stuff.

    Yeah, if we're thinking about the same video, it's kinda cool how the tree waited to go down until right after the strongest winds passed. lol The cool thing about stuff like this now is that everybody gets it on camera.

    I've wondered what it would've been like if areas closer to the surface low had been able to destabilize. I remember someone posting a model image the night before that had good CAPE all the way into northern Indiana with a string of supercells running pretty much the entire length of the state.

    June 15-17 was a big severe weather event. The 16th/17th were high risk days for much of the subforum except the fringe areas in the north, east, and south.

    Here is the NARR from the mornings of June 21 and June 22. Pretty amazing to see 850 mb temps below 0C in the Lakes.

    Come on, even you would be whining about 30s in late June.

    I was pretty young but I have some vague memories of that summer. Looking back at the dailies, LAF had a low of 35 degrees on June 22, which really sticks out like a sore thumb when you look at records for surrounding dates.

    beavis, I found a wind chill of -58F for ORD on 12/24/1983. Temp was -25F with wind of 25 mph

    February 1936 might also be worth checking. It was ridiculously cold especially in the northern Plains/upper Midwest.
  20. Hoosier
    Thanks for the info. Where did you find it?
  21. Hoosier
    There was easily a 40-50 mb pressure gradient with that storm, so it must've been pretty windy. I was working on a blizzard project a while back but gave it up due to the workload...anyway one of the storms I was working on was 1/12/1918. Here is the approximate track and strength at various points. Numbers could be a bit off since I converted from inches to mb but should be pretty close.

    Related to this...here is a study about the frequency of various wind chill readings in the northern US. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/crh/ssd/pdf/tsp_15.pdf Too bad they didn't do a map for wind chills of -50 or -60.
  23. Hoosier
    I don't know where to get hourly data from back then.
  24. Hoosier
    Muncie might've been lower that day...winds were stronger but there's no temperature data so I can't say for sure.
  25. Hoosier
    Wish we had wind chill info for 1/12/1918. Basically it was a weaker version of the 1978 Cleveland bomb but it brought in bitter cold air behind it. Some of the numbers must've been pretty low.
