daddylonglegs Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Sitting at about 38 inches of snow for the season... If the snow comes next week, we will be nearing are seasonal avg... Other then no extreme cold (-12F or something was the coldest) and the lack of below 0F lows (only a handful)...its been a pretty normal winter.

Chicago WX Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 -1.1º for February at LAF, through yesterday. Gonna be a below normal month. Normal max temps already into the low 40's here in the desert. Precipitation for the month is at 0.94". Normal is 1.76", so the upcoming storm needs to overachieve with rainfall.

Precip is at 1.27" ...+.5 ...wet and cold Normal right now is 34F/17F Light snow falling right now...temp of 22F (clouds)... Still looks like at least a few inches of snow next week...

michsnowfreak Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Through Feb 22, DTW is running -1.6F on the month, so its safe to say Feb will be a below normal month. Precip has largely been fluffy snow (yesterdays sand notwithstanding), and only a touch of rain/freezing rain, so its one of those weird combinations where precip (1.20") is running a little below normal but snowfall (16.4") well above. Whether we get rain, freezing rain, wet snow, or all of the above, it appears likely the precip departure will switch to the plus side by months end with the incoming storm system. Foggy night last night here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa state lines south melts off in 2 days. Going to take longer than that back in Iowa. Cold enough air west of Lake MI to keep the storm until the next storm. Running over -4° for the month here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Up to 47.8" of snow this year at MSN, if the Tuesday storm materializes we'll break 50". Mild day for after a snowfall, 28 F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Decent round of snow has been moving thru today. Picked up an inch yesterday, 1.5" last night, and another 1.5 today, with another 1-2" likely tonight. Season stat padding snow and keeps it all looking fresh. Been 28 most ofthe day.

weatherbo Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 You're over a 100" for the season right? About 28° for the high today. Not quite. After today Gaylord will be around 111" so I'd say im 90-95 inches.

weatherbo Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I know it's a job keeping up with frequent snows. Winter of 2007-2008 was hard to keep up with. Especially in February when one system seemed to blend in with another.For sure!I remember when I moved up here the third week of Sept last year and was on my way home from the market at 8pm and it started sleeting hard and lightening/thunder/wind. It covered the ground about 1/4". I suppose that was the official start of the snow season tally. Had snow the middle of dec and its been here solidly since. Had One day it almost left but didn't. Locals say hunting season Nov15th, there's usually between 5-15" on the ground and stays from there so it was a month late in staying this year. From perspective, it lived up to all I was hoping for and then some. Couldn't imagine '08/'09 when my town had 180". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Picked up an inch of very high ratio fluffy snow since 6 pm.... real pretty fat flakes falling with no wind too.I walked outside and could hear the faint hum of snowmobiles in the hills and some drunk ice fisherman across the road on the lake. Webcam here in Antrim County today thought this was cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Looks like a nice stretch of days with daily show shower potential as that giant slopgyre sits and spins in Atlantic moisture, cold cP air and lots of disturbances. Profiles look prime for ice crystal production with large/deep DGZs, so even light precip totals can do some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Surprised it got so cold last night. Bottomed out at 8. Already back up to 27 though with full sun. Point has us at 35, but that might be a bit conservative. 2-3" of snowpack might be taking a hit today and tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
