Cyrys Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 It looks like most stations in the MSP metro topped out in the 50-54 range while Cook, Hibbing, and Orr did quite well not that far from International Falls with 57, 58, and 59 respectively.

River Card Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Kinda fitting tribute to what was blizzard of 2011. Almost like watching an old friend die.... Like a dangerous friend, the snow left leaving everywhere shabby and dirty. Its going is a relief but also a sadness. No more will the nights seem bright as the moon uses the garden for a mirror, no more will the birds watch eagerly when the nut holders are filled. The snow left behind no gifts for us despite the overstayed welcome, the trouble caused. Snow’s like that. A winter visitor, magical at first but soon the jokes become tedious, the appetite insatiable, the whisky bottle emptying as Snow slakes its thirst. Then overnight snow has slung its hook and driven off leaving a few kisses in the cold spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Made it to 52 here today with a lot more sun than I thought we'd see. Melted a lot of snow. Down to about 4-5 inches now. The once mammoth 4-6' drifts are now 1-2' mounds of dirty slush lol. Looks like temps will rise back up towards 50 later tonight, and that will really eat away the snow. Should make the low to mid 60s tomorrow. MLI's record of 62 is going down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 wasted a great day inside here watching weather models.. I would have had to much road rage driving 45 mins to go fishing and seeing everybody enjoying the day with their windows down and country music cranking.. or joggers in shorts with their chubby pasty white winter legs. One more day of this and friday we can get back to a little bit more normal stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roardog Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I just realized it got into the 60s in parts of the UP today. Ironwood was in the low 60s and Houghton was in the upper 50s. I guess snowcover didn't hold their temps back today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The bigger question, how warm would they have been if they didn't have snow cover. I bet it will really get quite warm here tomorrow night with the howling winds mixing the warm air down to the surface. It should be a very warm night. I wouldn't be surprised to see it stay in the 50s all night. Maybe touch 60F somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One limiting factor for tomorrow would be low level clouds/moisture, however if that can be overcome, then upper 50s to near 60 is entirely possible.

I'm not impressed with the low cloud potential tomorrow. We could still erode it out as we head into the afternoon as the air will sitll be just as dry as it was today once you get above the surface and the mixing heights are pretty high.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Went to the backyard to do some measurements. Averaging 7" of depth still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah what is out there in the neighborhoods has stayed nicely, here at the airport because of the open field and no obstructions there is a lot of empty patches.

roardog Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 It's down to 32F here now. With calm wind and only high clouds, radiational cooling is doing wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Why why was it so warm today in the UP????? anyone? I had some sun, with haze and i still couldn't break 50f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah what is out there in the neighborhoods has stayed nicely, here at the airport because of the open field and no obstructions there is a lot of empty patches. Open fields and especially near busy roads have a lot of grass patches, but neighborhoods still fully snowcovered. Avg depth about 5" after a 50F day today. I live on a N-S street and it sucks how much the sun eats away at the snow on the sun-facing side, and how it morphs away from the sidewalk with the grass line creeping further in each day, whereas the shady side of the street, or either side of an E-W street does not have that problem.

Powerball Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Why why was it so warm today in the UP????? anyone? I had some sun, with haze and i still couldn't break 50f There are defintely some impressive temperature gradients on there. Nearly 20 degree difference from Detroit to Sarnia (they didn't even get above freezing), only 50 miles distance. Then I think you went from the upper 40s in NW Ohio to the upper 60s in SW Ohio.

cyclone77 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 42 out there right now. This time last week we were already at -8 on the way to a low of -17. With temps expected to rise later tonight we may end up over 60 degrees warmer this Thursday morning compared to last Thursday. Pretty amazing turnaround.

Sitting at 49F here...dropped back to 45F a bit earlier, but it has come up since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Still 58 degrees at this hour. Can we make a run towards the upper 70's? I'm a fan of extreme weather so I wouldn't mind seeing a record high at the least. Tomorrow's record is 71 so that is very reachable. Today we hit 70 so we were 3 degrees off. Incredible weather for this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
