TugHillMatt Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 There is some snow developing in my area now. Got some medium sized flakes coming down. Sweet. How much accum. do you have? Hopefully they will make it across the lake, or perhaps even pick up moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sweet. How much accum. do you have? Hopefully they will make it across the lake, or perhaps even pick up moisture. It only lasted about 10 minutes and since then it has been intermittent small flakes. Just a dusting on the sleet and ice from last night. Too bad the composite radar image isn't verifying. The area would be getting a steady light snow right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Down to 13 F already, still have some low clouds and flurries. Once that clears out temps will fall well into the single digits. Good night for ice growth on the lake, it's about 30-50% there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnavywx Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Pretty sweet Manitoba Mauler showing up for next weekend on all of the major global models as the pattern re-amplifies. It looks to be followed (possibly) by a clipper right after. This Mauler wouldn't have much moisture to work with (typical for this type of system), but very high ratios, intense dynamics via a very strong baroclinic zone and high winds could make for a brief but wild ride not only along the system track but also along the surging arctic front, where snow squalls would be possible.

I mention in the med-range discussion that the euro looks sweet for next Monday. One thing I can say for here...the ground will be frozen and ready when any snow hits lol. Interesting here in SE MI, after Decembers 20-day torch to start the month, snow immediately covered the ground as soon as it got cold and stayed until this torch the last few days. So we havent really seen that rock-hard frozen ground yet. This evening slug of moisture dropped another 0.24" of rain with just a trace of a few flurries at the end. So our Dec 20-Jan 13 precip totals... Dec 20/21..0.79" (1.1" snow) Dec 24.......0.07" (0.9" snow) Dec 26/27..0.44" (6.3" snow) Dec 28...........T (0.1" snow) Dec 29.......0.20" (2.7" snow) Dec 30...........T (0.3" snow) Jan 5/6.......0.03" (0.6" snow) Jan 10/11...0.94" Jan 12/13...1.06" (T snow) Dec 20-Jan 13: 3.53" (12.0" snow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Tail end of the cloud deck is just east of the Mississippi, sky's should clear sometime after midnight here. A low around 10° seems reasonable tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Had a few flurries flying around out there today. Even with just under an inch the landscape looks fairly white, which is nice to see again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Temperature failing to drop much, stuck at 11 F. Winds are decreasing though and clouds have cleared so the nocturnal boundary layer should intensify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 12z NAM has snow in the Ohio Valley later this week. NAM trickery or is it onto something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 12z NAM has snow in the Ohio Valley later this week. NAM trickery or is it onto something? going with option 1. If you notice, the nam has actually flattened itself a bit since yesterday....which means it's making the adjustment to reality, although slowly. Yesterday it was amped enough to suggest rain up to my location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roardog Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Now today is what I would call a nice winter day here. Not a deep snowpack but enough to completely cover the grass, along with sunny skies and temps in the low 20s. I would rather have this than mid 30s with 40MPH SW winds anytime. Also, no haze makes it even nicer. Mild weather in January almost always comes with fog/haze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Got down to 7 this morning. Only got down to 9 F in Madison. Up to 20 F with lots of sunshine, still officially have 1" of snow depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Clouds here...19F. Had sun but that didn't last long. Looks like a mild week. 5F here this morning. GFS shows a nice cold shot a week from now. Should/could be the coldest air of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Low of 9° this morning. Everything is still encased in ice and sleet, except the sunny side of my roof, which has melted and refroze on the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hasn't been above freezing since the new snow Sat night, but it's already shrinking away. Considerably less quality snow cover compared to the low-ratio snow from the Dec 20 system. Looks like our next chance for snow will be another week to 10 days at least. Didn't think we'd top last year's futility of 19", but it seems almost hard to believe we'll get 14 more inches from late Jan through Mar the way things are going. Oh well.

Trent Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Here's something you don't see very often. I'm not sure if this is just an error, but if not, pretty cool stuff: Yesterday's low temperature is higher than today's maximum temperature. In theory this should never happen because the temperature at midnight should overlap into both days. But last night at 11:59 pm the temperature was 37, but today's high was 36. That means that at 11:59 pm last night the temperature was most likely 36.5 degrees and at the stroke of midnight dipped to 36.4 hence giving (due to rounding) a 1 degree difference between the two days. I think the climate report always shows the last occurrence of a temperature so that 36 held for a few more hours before dropping. Pretty cool stuff and I'm willing to bet this rarely ever happens.

Also, no haze makes it even nicer. Mild weather in January almost always comes with fog/haze. Agree with this. That wind last week sucked and made it feel terrible outside despite it being warmer. Despite the clouds and light snows this morning it did not feel that bad outside. Only have a half inch on the ground but it is better then totally bare.

SchaumburgStormer Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 What an awful stretch zzzzzzzzzzzzz Still have a skating rink for a road in front of my house. Probably a half inch of solid ice. Other roads thawed via salt, and refroze, so this area is not the most fun to drive around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
