Geos Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Down to 10° this morning. Above +5° for the month. That'll be changing in the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Nice day with high pressure over Illinois, currently 27 after a low of 14. Weak WAA kicks in tonight ahead of a approaching cold front which will allow us to get into the mid 30's tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We managed to hit 30F after a low of 16F today. Saw this lonely snow pile when I went to the credit union today. Hoping the impending arctic wave delivers some white gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Back down in the mid teens tonight. Pretty clear out last time I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Coating of pixy dust this morning. Not enough to cover the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Winds are really rocking here. Pushing 30mph gusts. Feels colder than it was yesterday. You can see where that weekend over running event laid down it's highest snow and sleet accumulations. Sat. image from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Flakes in the air outside my 14th floor office, temperature approaching freezing at the surface but a cool 28 F on top of the met building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 There is 0 snow on the ground here, I wouldn't trust that map at all in this part of Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Those maps are so deceptive. If there's a skiff of snow tucked in the shade of a north facing hill then the map will show a trace of snow for a 10 mile radius from that point. The scale on those needs to be changed, anything under an inch should be a very transparent shading instead of an opaque white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I believe I saw a -83 this morning at Rankin Inlet, NU. Check out these wind chills in Canada. 2013_01_16_18z_wind_chill.gif 2013_01_16_11z_wind_chill.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the Cedar Rapids area we got nothing at all from the last storm and have bare ground, yet that map shows widespread light snowcover.

Hoosier Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 There might still be very minimal snow/ice cover in N IL but even the current satellite seems deceptive...obs show it is actually a band of clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 There might still be very minimal snow/ice cover in N IL but even the current satellite seems deceptive...obs show it is actually a band of clouds. there is no snow on the ground at my parents place in McHenry Co.

Geos Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Chicago, Detroit, OH "screw you zones" apparent.. That snowfall accumulation map is off! No way did I have 2" on the ground. lol There is/was a little bit of snow on the ground in western McHenry County and parts of Walwoth County as soon as yesterday.

michsnowfreak Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Those maps always overdo snowdepth. Yet when SE MI had widespread 4-8" snowcover in late December and early January it almoet seemed underdone here with some spotty look of unrealistically lighter depth west of dtw towards ann arbor which wasn't accurate. I like the last one posted seems more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 -83F wind chill? Wtf? Wouldn't you die if you went out in that? 36F here..clouds again...

turtlehurricane Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Having bursts of decent snow, road got dusted enough for my car to slide around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Up to 39F.... Next week looks cold, but nothing more then normal southwest WI Jan cold... Need that crap to kill some bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Up to 39F.... Next week looks cold, but nothing more then normal southwest WI Jan cold... Need that crap to kill some bugs. I agree completely. I'm still hoping that Toronto can see a -5F overnight low. Might not see it in the downtown core, but perhaps in the northern suburbs.

Might not see it in the downtown core, but perhaps in the northern suburbs. Mild winter in 2011-12 but I don't recall the bugs being any larger or more numerous last summer. I mean, I get the logic behind it but I didn't observe it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Starting to flurry here. Last summer there wasn't many bugs here, but that's more due to the drought then the mild spring. I hope the area can manage a couple back to back lows between -5° - -10°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I believe I saw a -83 this morning at Rankin Inlet, NU. Yep. Actually -79.5 (F) wind chill at Chesterfield Inlet Nunavut, as of 11z. That's like the South Pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Welp, we couldn't even manage a dusting today. We were supposed to get an inch, and it flurried off and on for a couple hours. LOL. I don't get it. It's like the atmosphere over us has one big dry pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
