daddylonglegs Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Some very cold air over the upper MW this morning. It's still only -22 up at Roseau MN at 11am. Ouch. Several other sites in northwest MN still hovering around -20 as well. Look north of the border...-45F? It would be just brutal living in International Falls...

cyclone77 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Look north of the border...-45F? It would be just brutal living in International Falls... Wow. That's just brutal. Makes you wonder what January may be like if we continue to see additional arctic blasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 26 years ago this morning we had just been dealt a tremendous blizzard. I was only 10, but I'll never forget the ferocity of that night. At times it was like a severe thunderstorm, but with heavy snow. We received around a foot of snow, which is less than what we got with the GHD. However, snow to water ratios were lower than with the GHD storm, and the snow didn't fall as long. DVN posted this little summary on their fb page this morning.... On this date back in 1987...A major winter storm hit the Great Lakes Region. This storm explosively intensified as it crossed Northeast Illinois. High winds and heavy snow created blizzard conditions across Northern Illinois and Northwest Indiana. Winds gusted between 75 to 90 mph, and snowfall totals up to 12 inches fell across the area. This storm downed power lines, and produced considerable snow drifts that resulted in numerous roads being closed. The barometric pressure at Chicago IL dropped to to 28.96". This storm system was so unique that thunderstorms were associated, with a period of 2-4 hours of thunder and lightning. Snow was falling at a rate of 2"/hr at the height of the storm, with a high water content. This storm was responsible for 26 deaths in the Chicago area. That was a good one. LAF had some snow on the 14th before changing to rain and then back to snow on the 15th. Peak gust of 69 mph on the 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 That was a good one. LAF had some snow on the 14th before changing to rain and then back to snow on the 15th. Peak gust of 69 mph on the 15th. Wow, that's some impressive wind. The nice thing about a powerhouse system like this is there's exciting weather on all sides of the storm track.

Gilbertfly Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 My mother told me today that this reminds her a lot of the '78 - '79 winter...now she isn't a weather guru like most of you....she is just looking at it from a perspective of what has happened thus far and what is forecast over the next week via networks and the sunday paper....and she is obviously looking at it from a MBY perspective, not a regional or national perspective...just thought it was interesting Chalk up another day that felt like winter for MBY....this winter sure has come in like a lion between temps and snowfall occurrences. I'm sure someone could dig up the number of days that saw flakes flying in their backyard (not necessarily accums)....and it's prolly a good number if you are in this subforum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
