Chicago WX Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 LAF bottomed out at -10. I believe that is the coldest temperature since January 2009. You are correct. 1/15/09 (-12º) and 1/16/09 (-19º) to be exact. COOP low temps across central Indiana from this IND story: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ind&storyid=63896&source=0 Low Temperatures the Morning of February 10, 2011Frankfort Airport...-18º Knox...-18º Rossville Spotter...-17º Huntington...-16º Young America 3 ESE...-14º West Lafayette 6 NW...-13º Warsaw...-13º Crawfordsville 6 SE...-12º Rensselaer...-12º Hartford City...-12º Tipton 5 SW...-10º Farmland 5 NNW...-10º Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Looking to see if my area can go below zero tonight. Temperature is already down to 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 The 18z GFS looks warm. It will take some good melting to shrink the 4 foot snow piles along my driveway. I welcome the site of brown grass and no ice. Maybe a replacement will follow in late Feb. No way is my region done with snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 DTW made it down to -5F this morn, with some -15F reports in Lenawee county! DTW's -5F was the coldest since -11F on Jan 17, 2009 (was -15F on Jan 16, 2009). Tons of snow around, hopefully the torch is brief ala 18z gfs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 That system/front looks like a slow mover with several disturbances riding along it which screams ice to me. A number of the euro ensembles DO have it as well. Something to watch anyways. This is something I have noticed even moving into the warm up on bufkit, we warm above the surface but it takes a while for us to warm at the surface per the GFS.

I think Harry was referring to the system the EURO is showing around 240. I can't imagine anything but liquid precip. with the system for mid-late week next week. SW flow scours the cold like a mofo.

Stevo6899 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Either way it looks to get stormy starting next week. Storm after storm tracks eastward and with each storm the cold tries to come back little by little. Each low should track further and further south as time goes on. Feb 16- the beginning of march looks to active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Euro just has a low down in Texas at 240 hours. Nothing really over the great lakes. He cited the EURO ensembles. Maybe he was referring to them. Although it's also possible I'm mistaken and it indeed has something to do with next week's complex of low pressure areas.

cyclone77 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Looks like I may have been wrong about this morning being the last subzero reading of the season. We're already down to 1 above as we approach midnight. The arctic air looks like it's become very shallow though, as some surrounding readings are as much as 10-15 degrees warmer.

Organizing Low Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 we'll have to keep our eye on that backdooor cold front in lead of the bigger system, if that is what happens. if anytihng resembling the press of W-E heights at higher latttiudes come to frution similar to tonights GFS, that system will defintely be passing further south.

I think this type of pattern is quite common during La Nina winters...I remember it happening during the La Ninas of the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local meteorologist Bill Steffen mentioned that this past week. He said that even though the models show 40s, this type of pattern in February combined with the snowpack around Michigan usually leads to low clouds, gloomy, and temps in the 30s.

Powerball Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I just had some huge pouring flakes for a minute here.
