snowstormcanuck Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 November will be rockin'.* *completely unscientific reasoning. Good to hear. Hopefully late November so it won't all go down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnweather Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 No, I meant this weather is god awful. I can bare this cold and boring weather if it were sunny, but I'm on the side of the lake where it will almost always be cloudy. I'll take sunny & warm but boring (or even sunny and cold but boring) over this cloudy and cold but boring crap. It's like the energy's been sucked out of me. You sound like you have seasonal affective disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 ^^ on some days the consistant clouds take a toll. Living downwind from the lakes has some serious positives and equal negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 IWX I think we tied ours here today...looks like the record was 44F and so far that is what we've maxed out at... Clouds better start clearing if we are to plummet tonite. Just plain cold all across the GL. It's got to feel like late November rather than early October for those attending the Catholics vs. Convicts game. Our good radiational cooling night looks to be tomorrow night down here. That little disturbance creating cloudy skies around here this evening should be out of here by tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take sunny & warm but boring (or even sunny and cold but boring) over this cloudy and cold but boring crap. It's like the energy's been sucked out of me. I feel the same way, but I'm deciding to deal with it since it's still better than the scorching dry summer heat we just experienced, and I wanted it to cool down for the fall. I may be slightly regretting that wish now, but I've decided to try not to whine about it. If it were up to me we would have had an average/slightly below average summer and wetter and a mild fall, but it just so happened the opposite might be happening.

turtlehurricane Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Clouds sticking around keeping temps in the low 40s. 850 down to -6 °C, coldest air of the season so far. If the clouds move out we'll have a hard freeze no problem, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Update from MKX regarding clouds. It is slowly cooling off here ~ 41° right now. 000 FXUS63 KMKX 070208 AFDMKX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI 908 PM CDT SAT OCT 6 2012 .UPDATE... EXPECT CLOUD COVER TO REMAIN LONGER. LATEST RUC SOUNDINGS HAVE A STRONGER INVERSION JUST ABOVE THE CLOUD DECK AROUND 7 THSD FT. PILOT REPORTS HAVE THE CLOUD THICKNESS AROUND 1 TO 1.5 THSD FT. DVN 00Z UPPER AIR PROFILE HAS A VERY SHALLOW MOIST LAYER. GRB`S IS A LITTLE THICKER. 00Z NAM SOUNDINGS SHOW THE 850 MB MOISTURE REMAINING LONGER AND HAS A RATHER CHAOTIC DRYING. THEREFORE EXPECT CLOUDS TO GRADUALLY THIN...AND SOME BREAKS SHOULD FORM. WILL LEAVE THE FREEZE WARNINGS SINCE TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S AND ANY CLEARING WOULD RESULT IN TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 20S. HOWEVER DO NOT EXPECT A WIDESPREAD HARD FREEZE DUE TO THE CLOUDS. && Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yeah thick clouds here as well keeping temps up. Looks like they'll hang on all night too so it looks like the hard freeze will be a big fail for this impressive cool snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I saw this coming from a mile away what a joke. This cold is somewhat useless when a hard freeze still wont happen til late October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I am noticing some breaks occurring now. Clouds look pretty thin. Maybe there still is hope for a freeze tonight. I will say, I had no allergies issues today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 lol, LAF the only site in Indiana in the 30's at 12:00am (39º). Though it's reporting partly cloudy versus everyone else reporting cloudy. Yeah, that must be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Winterized the banana plants today in anticipation of tonight's supposed freeze. You cut all the leaves off and store them in a dark basement in dry peat moss. No watering needed until April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 So says climo. Yeah but you'd think in a year where we had two cold shots, one in late September and one in early October, we could catch a break for once and get a freeze before cities like Kansas City, Omaha, Cincinnati, etc. I have to move inland, living near Lake Michigan is annoying at times to say the least. Only helps marginally in winter with the rare lake effect snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing some mid 30s out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We are on the western end of the cloud deck and it's really helping to keep out temp up as well. Just to the west, where it's clear, the temp quickly drops off into the low to mid 20s. Northwest Iowa is in the teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 So says climo. Brr lots of teens last night back in Iowa. 32 freeze map prob doesn't look much different for us near the lake.. a 28 freeze now would take dam near record cold.. 32 and under last night would have been close and prob close to a lock imo without the clouds. would have been cool to get 32 or under during the first week of oct here.. % to get that is probably around 10% and about our chances of the brewers or cubs winning the WS in our lifetime. I'm actually glad most of southern wi failed the freeze so hopefully the foliage can hang on a bit longer until we get out there on wed.. just have to endure the brisk torch winds the next few days.

Brewers Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Damn clouds ruined my freeze. Die grass die!!!! ^^This Temps busted big time due to the clouds, still haven't had any frost let alone a freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Freeze fail, low of 37 °F. I guess frost/freeze advisories will continue for the MKX region. Clouds keeping things from warming up so we're stuck in the upper 30s. Back edge of the clouds approaching Madison quickly so today should be beautiful yet.
