Hoosier Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 My favorite kind of day, 35° and rain. LAF airport was 32 and rain for a few hours this morning. Worst of the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Heavy overcast with temps holding rock steady at 27 all morning here. The 2" or so of snow that is left is a hard crust. Still ice all over the sidewalks/driveways around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 The NAM and GFS both show some interesting sfc convergence along the lake Monday night with the passage of the 500 and 850 trough axis...something to keep an eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 4km NAM says 5 above for a high temp on Christmas Eve will do it. The 4"+ of new snow on top of the 2" glacier makes for a solid 6" base. No sign of any days above freezing anytime soon, so it looks to be here to stay.

michsnowfreak Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 More pics to come since there is not whole lot to do. Lol. Nice pic. This is the perfect example of how the elevation of northern Oakland county can make all the difference in the world in a marginal situation like this. And I take it you still have 3" snowdepth? As I whined about in the storm thread, snowdepth 1" this morning. We have plenty of 2" spots (and some higher) but also bare spots. Temp is rising too, up to 35F. I suspect by the end of the day we will be at a T of snowdepth, although we will have a bit larger piles and snowbanks than your average torch that hangs around just long enough to destroy everything then the cold filters in lol. Just kinda ticks me off that even though I was RIGHT that 33-34F heavy rain wouldnt completely destroy a snowpack, i didnt foresee so long a period of mild temps and very high dewpoints Thu-Fri like we saw that did most of the damage. You know Im the last to complain as we truly have done very well snowfall wise for many years running now, but you also know me and snowcover, and if it isnt one thing its another for Ma Nature to troll my snowpack!!!

michsnowfreak Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 This is totally OT but has anyone checked out the temps on the east coast? Its simply incredible. NYC rose to 70F by 10am.....DC/Baltimore got into the 70s by 4am.....and currently its 76F and rising in RIC. That is just mindboggling for the first full day of winter.

michsnowfreak Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 SW winds ramping up.....temp/dew briefly spiking (39F)...snow depth down to a T after 2 weeks of winter wonderland. Yuck, yuck, yuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 a lot OT but wtf kind of point is this....? kinda redundant a little. Snow likely with areas of blowing snow before 10pm, then snow with areas of blowing snow between 10pm and 1am, then snow likely after 1am. Low around 10. Northeast wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 63 degrees here today and bright sunshine during the noon hour. Feels like spring. Would have been a record high tomorrow, but 1 degree short today. Columbus had a whopping +31 departure yesterday ... Now that's the epitome of a torch in winter. Both a record high of 69 and record low min of 57. Places in eastern Ohio will have completely wiped out any negative temperature departures for the month of December. However the next week should bring those back to below normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping tomorrow nights convergence band sets up over here Funny thing this, you said earlier this week that there was no way we'd lose the snowpack (and I said even you would b**ch about losing the snowpack before Christmas). But anyways, I'm going to try and ignore the weather over the next 2 weeks. Doesn't look like anything of interest will come out of it as this convoluted BS of a winter storm has worked over the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Have made my way to 13.4" for the season so far. Much, much better than the past 2 Decembers. Would be nice to get to 16" or so by New Years. Down to 28° with light N winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance of precipitation is 90%. Ive seen DTX put out points like that before too. It IS redundant, but basically what they are saying is that it will probably snow before 10 am (and when its snowing, it will be blowing), they are sure it will be snowing between 10p-1a, and then after 1a they think it will still be snowing. Kinda dumb, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Probably most if not all record highs in the winter are the result of being on the crap side of a storm. Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
