Chicago WX Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Using average daily departures, yesterday was the second coldest day of this winter at IND. Heh. January 13th: -12 February 11th: -11 December 10th: -10 Overall, and to no surprise, only 18 of the 73 days this meteorological winter have featured negative departures.

Hoosier Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 On this date in 1981, a massive high moved into the eastern US. Indianapolis set its all-time record high pressure of 30.97" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 On this date in 1981, a massive high moved into the eastern US. Indianapolis set its all-time record high pressure of 30.97" I guess it could be worse. At least that didn't happen today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I just love sitting in my living room with the sun pouring through the window, makes my day! Up to freezing outside, the 1" of snow got obliterated in sunny spots. Good song for right now, even though the waiting is over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxHR-Y6GBHQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Man, does the sun strengthen in February or what. February and August are the opposites of each other. I think it's more like late October actually. It is getting stronger though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strength of the sun at noon has already doubled since the solstice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Snowblind type of day today with full sun after morning flurries. This is the time of year when I start to dislike the sun lol. I did find this neat snow drift in an open field though. 5 inches of powder and 24 hours of gusty winds, open areas get some nice sculptures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm salivating over today's 12z GFS run at 276 hrs. Looks like a good potential for svr wx in the Ohio valley and Mid South. Alas, it is 276 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Has the majority of SEMI even had a 5" snow depth yet this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Has the majority of SEMI even had a 5" snow depth yet this season? Yesterday morning we did here/DTW. Some places havent exceeded 4" yet though. Our depth has settled to about 3-4" avg now. Of course, this is average depth, I have 10-inch drifts in mby and some open areas have a few 2-3 foot drifts lol. Caught this pic right after sunset, the clear sky was the coolest deep shade of blue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 With longrange (not to mention midrange and shortrange lol) models changing the details wildly every run, one common theme I see is an active weather pattern seemingly setting up for a while. So Im thinking a good idea for many of us to go into these next few weeks with the expectations that we will win some and lose some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the pattern does look to get active through the end of the month, just need a good phase at some point with the split flow. If we were to get that someone in the region could end up with a really nice system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 18z GEFS trying their hardest to phase a storm in the lwr OH valley during the weekend. Something to keep an eye on I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Sunny and 37F today, lost some snow, right now Id say avg snow depth is 3", though my yard has everything from a few bare spots to a few 8" drifts, the avg depth in most spots is 2-4". The cons of a drifty snowfall is that bare spots show up immediately, and its a b*tch to figure out what to put for your snow depth if your a weather observer, the pro is that with many drifts at the very least the landscape will have tints of winter until a real torch comes (which doesnt look to come anytime soon) whereas an even snowcover would probably all disappear with a rainstorm (if thats what happens Thurs). NAM has DTW getting 0.10" qpf with tonight/tomorrow snowfall and GFS 0.08", so they ticked back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toronto blizzard Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Seems like we actually have some potential for the rest of february for people in this board. The GEFS seems to like the idea of systems coming towards the MW/GL possibly bringing rain and snow. Also the 12Z euro looked interesting but as always it is 8 days out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very active, and with the snowbanks now the biggest theyve been all winter long, regardless of what actually happens Thursday, Im thinking that despite increasing sun angle, it will be a while before we have that completely barren look.

Let's hope. The latest storm if you can even call it that for my area for you it was pretty good but anyways it only produced a couple inches at best. I'm hoping that these next couple of weeks produces more than that like 6+'' but I am getting too ahead of myself lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
