cyclone77 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 ORD ASOS having some issues...Showing 38 when it's actually nearly 10F warmer. Hmm. Weird. It was fine at 21z. Someone must have emptied a cooler of dry ice underneath the thermometer shelter lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Thought the roof was going to rip off my shed... wind howling right now. Just moved my car out of the way of a tree, gotta feeling at least some branches are gonna come down. I can see the low, dark cloud shield associated with the front approaching from the north. Looks like it's already through Middleton, so it'll be here momentarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hoosier asked last night about the date of the -32C 850 temp over the LOT CWA. It was actually on 1/18/1994 when ORD had a split of -11/-21. 1/20/85 was a close second, with -31C at 850mb. If I may ask, is there an old RAOB site that you're looking it to get those 850 mb temps or just eyeballing the maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Made it to 51. Couldn't get over the hump at FWA. Only hit 49. On this day in 1994, it was a balmy -18°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yeah, a few school systems and colleges in this area also canceled classes. EDIT: I think schools closed 1/10/82 also. I remember not wanting to touch the plastic window on my Jeep, fearing that it would shatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 This record-breaking streak at MSP may finally come to an end... Streak With Highs of 0°F or Above Has Reached 4 Years at MSP Friday, January 18, 2013 marked the 1,464th consecutive day, (just over 4 years), with high temperatures of 0°F or greater at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. The last time the high temperature at the Minneapolis airport was below zero was on January 15, 2009: when the thermometer climbed to only -6°F. This streak may finally come to an end on Monday, as temperatures struggle to make it into the low single digits below zero, behind an Arctic Cold front poised to blast through the area later today. In addition, the number of days with low temperatures below zero this winter will at least double, if not triple in the week ahead. The table below is a rundown of the top 10 streaks with high temperatures remaining at or above 0°F at MSP. Rank Number of days with highs >=0°F Ending Date Period of record: 1872-10-01 to 2013-01-161 1464 2013-01-18 2 1142 2004-01-28 3 1110 1994-01-13 4 1056 1945-12-16 5 754 1948-01-15 6 751 1961-01-23 7 750 2007-02-03 8 738 1932-01-29 T9 723 1892-01-14 T9 723 1879-01-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natester Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Well that was one heck of a front. I think there was a 30 second gust of at least 40 mph winds. Oh yeah, there's a rain/snow squall line in northern Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Sustained winds have steadily increased to 36 mph with gusts to 45 mph at Middleton, winds only sustained around 20 with top gust of 40 at MSN. Looks like peak winds haven't occurred yet in Madison, going to go walk around soon and check out the destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 So far only 40mph on the weather station, but I'm sure some of the gusts have reached close to 50mph. The power line out front fried and broke off, and is now dangling over the sidewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
