michsnowfreak Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 The thick overcast cleared in time for DTW to get down to 24F this morning, edging out Nov 14th's 25F as coldest temp of the season (coldest since 21F Mar 10th). Also the sun is out for the first time in 5 days or so. EDIT low at DTW was 23, not 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 2nd day in a row the high only made it to freezing. We've been at or below freezing now since late Sunday evening. Pretty impressive for late Nov considering no snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnweather Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Low of 17 this am and a high of 29. 4" snow depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Going on 44 consecutive hours below 32 degrees unless there was an intra-hr 32 degrees this afternoon.. If there was no intra- hour 32 degrees this afternoon it will be 3 out of the last 4 days with highs below 32. MKE only accomplished that twice all last winter. 59 consecutive hrs was the most for December 2011 and was the only time December had back to back daytime high temps below freezing. Only had 4 days the whole month with daytime highs below 32 Jan had 10 days with highs below 32. Feb/March combined for 4 days with highs below 32 and none consecutive. Dec/Feb/March combined for a total of 8 days with highs below 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 33 °F for the high, decent 21 °F diurnal swing from the low from all the sunshine. Cold air advection underway with coldest 850s of -7 °C expected tomorrow morning. Impressive 130 kt jet streak extending from Iowa to Minnesota.

IWXwx Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 South Bend is now 6 days from setting the record for the longest period without a measurable snowfall. The last measurable snowfall at South Bend was March 5, 266 days ago. The record is 272 days which was set in 1948. With no snow forecast in the next 7 days, this record could be in jeopardy.

wisconsinwx Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Sure looks like it! Definitely some clouds around to support that assumption.

wisconsinwx Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I am assuming no post means you fell asleep or it is virga... It means I didn't look outside because I think it was virga (at least once it made its way east). No station in SE Wisconsin is/has reported any precip, even flurries.

michsnowfreak Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Lol...so the temp started rapidly dropping last evening (after a sunny day) then a solid overcast developed holding temps steady and even rising a few degrees so our low was 24 set at 12am. I really thought we may head for the teens. Then as soon as sunrise came the clouds cleared and its sunny again! Its like mother nature is thinking, oh hell no I can't allow a great radiational cooling night in MI in NOV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 streak of consecutive hrs below 32 degrees ends at 60 hrs and that best any consecutive streak below 32 all of last dec. This torch upcoming is going to crush anything dec 2011 had to offer thanks to some september like lows and oct like highs. So glad this torch is happening in the very early stage of december.. much easier to accept than it happening closer to the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now If I had any willpower I would be able to step back away from anything wx related until the torch relaxes next week instead of wasting so many hrs worrying about Fantasy land.. Just get me the grass covered through the Holidays and I will be very grateful even if I end up way below normal snowfall for the month and every body else is plus. I just don't do a brown holiday season very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It's an extra stretch for me to get into the holiday spirit if the ground in baren too. Last year was the worst along with 1998. Warming trend is starting up to 39°! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
