michsnowfreak Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I notice the howling winds all night really sublimated the snow. We had 1.2" yesterday, and a good 1" still on the ground last night, I would say now its more like 0.5-0.75" on the ground (going by the naked eye). Sky still that steel gray.

Geos Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 There going to be shivering in Ft. Lauderdale! Down to 14° this morning. Mostly sunny right now at 25°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 12z GFS looks like normal temps and very dry through the entire run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Turtle- Probably having dreams of South Beach with temps like those (although the cold front blew through S FL yesterday dropping temps back into the 60Fs in Ft Lauderdale)... 7F here right now... Sparta was at -6F this morning. This weather isn't so bad with the sun shining, already up to a balmy 25 *F. Then again i've barely went outside lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Pleasant, sunny day. At least it feels sort of like Christmas time with temperatures hovering around or slightly above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Temp decent stalled a bit late last night. Only made it down to 6. Still made for the coldest of the season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 32° for the high today will almost full sun. Will be back in teens in no time tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Made it to 30 this afternoon, but it took all day to get there. Snow hasn't budged at all. Usually you see at least a little compaction. I'm betting the snow that fell here had to be somewhere on the order of 6-8:1 on average. Just pure cement. Snow depth still hanging in the 3-4" range. Snow/ice finally fully melted off highways and most back roads this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Back into the clouds today...ugh... Looks like snow tomorrow, although very little accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Bright sun for the 3rd day in a row here. Ended up getting down to 9 this morning, which was a bit colder than forecast. Looks like we could get some mood flakes tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Our snow depth here is a T, pretty nice coating in the shade but just sparse skiffs in the sun. Will tomorrow deliver a White Christmas for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So much for the sun today. Saw it for about 10 minutes earlier today and that was it! But the inch of crusty snow will stick around until tomorrow then. Got down to 18° this morning. Up to 28° now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Locally in SE MI, we have 3 events this next week to watch...December 24th, December 26th, and December 29th...all of which look to bring snow to the area. Winter appears to have set in, literally, in line with the winter solstice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Even the extended looks good. Gfs shows more near day ten. All in all going to be a great few weeks comming up. I figure at least two weeks of this pattern, perhaps more if it can follow the persistance of the torch of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Ended up turning sunny in the afternoon...nice day overall...typical winter day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 95% cloudy here today. High 29°. Tomorrow looks like freezing drizzle turning over to light snow in the afternoon. About 1/2 inch forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Moon had a halo around it (driving home from Rochester, MN)... 18F out there. 1/2 inch or less says the NWS...GFS shows nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Got some very light misty crap falling out there right now. Almost too light to be even drizzle, but you can definitely feel it, and there's moisture accumulating on the windshield while driving. I guess we can call it freezing mist lolz.

Just went outside and noticed the same thing, a few small flakes mixed in too. Higher reflectivity approaching from the northwest so maybe we'll see some light snow.

It almost looks like drizzle, but all surfaces are covered in a very fine white powder. I guess we can call this snizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Still a solid 3-4" snowpack here. A few mood flakes flying around out there today as well. Definitely an improvement over last xmas. Nice to have a white xmas again. Looks like the next chance for some snow will come Friday around here, as a weak wave moves through. Probably very light, but it's something to watch anyway.

Temperature going no where too fast today. Very low cloud deck, which is probably due to lake clouds drifting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSNOW Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Same here. Looks like someone salted the top of my car! Temperature going no where too fast today.

Very low cloud deck, which is probably due to lake clouds drifting in. Getting some legit flakes now, albeit small ones. Some of the models (including the new Euro) drop an area of 0.01-0.03" of precip over northern IL through this evening. Could see a legit dusting from this. Normally that's a non-event, but because it's xmas eve it's pretty sweet I guess. New Euro and GEM lay down a broad swath of 1-2" of snow from Iowa through northern IL and surrounding areas on Fri. Precip values are very light (0.1-0.15") but snow to water ratios might be fairly high. Could overachieve if we get a bit more lift than progged by some of the models.
