Chicago WX Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I wonder how some would react if this is how winter played out? Dec: 43.4º Jan: 31.8º Feb: 36.5º DJF: 37.2º Yeah, that's the winter of 1877-78 for Chicago. Now that's impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Sorry, missed out on yesterday's torch. Touched 34 for like 15 minutes. Been freezing or below the past 12+ hours. Still plowed snow banks 6-8 inches deep along road here at the office. 5th day with snow cover. Been a nice taste of winter this week despite what's lurking in the short range.. Winter. It will fight back like Rocky Balboa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Good chance at back to back 50º+ high temps at LAF today and tomorrow. Been awhile, last achieved December 14-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 OT.. LOL. One of our local TV Mets (Chuck G) decided to put a lawn mower graphic for Friday. You can tell hes getting flustered with the perpetual Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Up to 44 °F on top of the weather building. This is incredible for January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Yup... Almost like Miami without the coconut palms and girls in thongers Anytime you are above freezing this time of year is warm in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Until this changes, I would not get too excited about anything winterish... That actually looka a little better than it has recently if my recollection is correct. Regardless of whether the next 1-2 weeks come out below average, I'm about 95% sure we're going into a colder pattern than what we've seen.

hawkeye_wx Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Wow, temps are soaring today. The nws had to up the high further this morning, but even that won't be enough. The Des Moines area has soared into the low 60s already while Cedar Rapids is 55. The next week looks like 40s every day. Just an unreal non-winter we're having.

Hoosier Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Model 2m temps have been atrocious around here today. Widespread errors of 7-10 degrees and this is off of the 12z runs. Mid 50's might be within reach tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'll say 55 for tomorrow with low confidence given model handling so far. Could see it being slightly warmer especially if we get enough sun. Still questioning the inversion on steroids tonight and think lows in the mid/upper 30's may be more realistic.

SpartyOn Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Holding out hope that we hit 50 here tomorrow! Going Disc'n. Love being able to hit the disc park in the middle of winter. It will sharpen my skills for the Spring. Another positive side effect of a torchy winter is it helps the Morel Mushrooms. I've always had better harvests after a warm winter with little snow.

BowMeHunter Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Just an incredible spring day out there on the Milwaukee Lakefront. Folks all over jogging, rollerblading, roller skiing, playing frisbee, flying kites, office workers with their packed lunch just relaxing on the grass in the shade, Alek was barefoot on the beach skipping rocks, Robins tossing worms in the air back and forth to each other. Neighbor lady had the grand kids over outside drawing with sidewalk chalk and blowing bubbles on the front porch. Time to pull the lawn chair out along with a 4 pack of tall boy steele reserves in honor of, stebo and listen to Bob Uecker and the rest of the Brewers spring season game. Looking forward to a couple more days like today coming up in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Martin Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 .From the NWS in Cleveland... Part of Area Forecast Discussion, 344pm est today... LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... FORECAST AREA WILL BE WEDGED BETWEEN THE NORTHERN STREAM AND SOUTHERN STREAM WHICH BODES WELL FOR FAIR WEATHER FANS. ALL THIS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE TOWARD THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. UPPER LEVEL POLAR JET STREAM BEGINS TO DIVE SOUTH INTO THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES AS AMPLIFICATION OF RIDGE DEVELOPS ON THE WEST COAST. THIS WILL THEN EJECT VORTICITY MAXIMUM DIVING INTO TEXAS THAT BECOMES CUTOFF FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME EARLY IN THE PERIOD. THIS FEATURE WITH SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK NORTHEAST AND BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION TO THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. TRACK OF THE LOW IS CURRENTLY FORECAST TO REMAIN SOUTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD AND NOT REALLY EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF COLD AIR ADVECTION AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST. TRUE COLD AIR DOES NOT ARRIVE UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
