michsnowfreak Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Wonder where we'll finish for the month. These wild swings/big daily departures coming up don't give much confidence in any calculations.

Chicago WX Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Wonder where we'll finish for the month. These wild swings/big daily departures coming up don't give much confidence in any calculations. -0.4º right now...but the next three days, including today, will seal the deal for a 1º+ departure IMO. You LAF folks need to put the snow totals back in your sigs 7.9" on the season. January has been abysmal. I'm just hoping to break into double digits when all is said and done.

daddylonglegs Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ground is frozen solid. Figured I'd shovel the slush that fell yesterday off the driveway... No such luck..its a giant sheet of ice now... Roof is melting quickly, but the ground is so cold, that its going to be tough to melt this crap off...

cyclone77 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Temp sort of hovering around 40 the last few hours. Very impressive WAA surging back north through Missouri though. Temps in the low 70s from near KC to Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 should set off some decent storms in the region later. Up to 75 in Clinton Missouri, southeast of KC. Vis shows a spring-like cumulus field bubbling up over central/southern MO. 30-40mph southwest surface wind gusts blasting along pushing that warmth northward.

That air will come back to visit us in a few weeks Theres always a lag-time with cold in Canada and cold in the US later on. They were freezing in Dec if I recall, then in Jan during our arctic outbreak it was torching and raining in AK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It looks like, in terms of overall mean temperature, this January is going to finish up remarkably close to last January. As of this morning, our mean was -2.6C. With the upcoming torch, I could see that climbing to -1.6C. Last january's mean temperature was -1.7C. January 1950 saw a mean temperature of -1.8C at Toronto Pearson and this month has been remarkably similar to that one, temperature wise, with two big blowtorches, one on the 13th, the other around the 25th. This January was colder than last January... If you average both months out, it was a comparable Dec-Jan overall. Not a good winter... February will determine which winter gets the nod for being less craptacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Was out for a while enjoying the deep snow one more day. John Dee map shows updated totals for this area today. Still plenty deep and hoping we can retain half of this after the warm day tomorrow. At least it will be short lived, but what happen to the day when deep snow could offset warming?
