Geos Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Light snow being reported at the Dubuque ASOS. This time last night it was 69/64, and tonight we sit at 39/30. What a change in air mass. Wow, wasn't expecting to see snow reported that far east! Any idea where it is heading? Didn't think this status had any precipital water left in it!

cyclone77 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Wow, wasn't expecting to see snow reported that far east! Any idea where it is heading? Didn't think this status had any precipital water left in it! The new midnight ob also has light snow. Seemed a little fishy before, but now I'm thinking it's some sort of instrument error or something. No one else around has reported any precip for awhile, and not even a blip on radar.

daddylonglegs Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 34F here...still have plenty of west wind. Another hike today if I get time. I really do love this time of year...by far the best time to get out into the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Wow, that was a long crash! Had a 42° temperature drop in about 13 hours between 5:30 and 6:30 this morning. Low 32° this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Dark billowy clouds, trees are definitely past peak but the color that remains looks great against the dark sky. Very late-Fall like day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not an ounce of precip in the forecast here the next 7+ days. Pretty boring weather here locally. Obviously not the case to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hit 48° today and now it is already 41°. I got rain and snow showers for Tuesday night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I do work for Fox Sports and the setup for the WS is massive undertaking and baseball being an outside sport made today a living hell. The winds and scattered rains made for an awful time setting up the cameras and electronics. Breakdown on Tuesday should be splendid. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Coldest morning of the season so far at 27. May slip another degree or two before sunup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Great autumn forecast...upper 40Fs with mostly sun and lows in the upper 20Fs... Not bad. Looks like sandy doesn't come anywhere near this area now on the euro, so shouldn't have to worry about too much wind... Warmer air makes a return on day 7...

turtlehurricane Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Low of 25 °F in Madison, now in the upper 30s. Even though it's a bit chilly I'll take this weather any day since it's nice and sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Coldest morning of the year here, getting down to at least 27 here in the city. Heavy frost covered everything and a lot of my plants are turning black. I have a rare very late adult male ruby-throated hummingbird in my yard this week, but he knows how to use the feeders so I did not protect any plants.

Geos Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Frost and some patches of ice were present this morning. Actually the birdbath is still frozen over. Low 30° this morning. I noticed Milwaukee finally made it to freezing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed Milwaukee finally made it to freezing! Woke up to 32 this morning--dropped down to 31....Seems like that was the first time at and below freezing at my location.

magoos0728 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Amazing how cold it is out there tonight...35 right now....if anything does come down--as they're saying 20% chance in my area--wouldn't be shocked if its frozen. ....Up to 36 now. Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 High temp of 48 at ORD today, which makes it the first day with a sub-50F high temp since 4/20 (47).

Jonger Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Already down to 30 °F in Madison, might be worth checking the lakeshore for ice in the morning. No chance for ice on the lake. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 No chance for ice on the lake. Jon The shoreline can easily ice up when it's this cold from wave action, but yeah no floating ice yet. 27 °F, brrrrr. Glad I'm not standing outside all night at "Freakfest" like most of the undergrads. It's the annual Halloween party, used to be awesome but hasn't been good since a riot 5 years ago.

cyclone77 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Dipped down to 31 earlier this evening, but has come back up to 33.
