weatherbo Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Some decent snow showers occurring over the area tonight. Beginning to feel like I live up near Bo. For a change it wasn't snowing this morning and only picked up a half inch last night. I can finish clearing the roof between now and Saturday. Looks brutaly cold next week and as the lake freezes, nw lower loses its buffer....welcome to Duluth . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Some very patchy dense fog this morning. <1/16 mile, to clear, and back in a very short distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Some very patchy dense fog this morning. <1/16 mile, to clear, and back in a very short distance Thick fog here this morning as well: http://ustre.am/16Txc Can see the sun shining through it, so it's likely to burn off pretty soon.

A-L-E-K Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 first picture is nice, Geos. Saturday mini torch should eat up about half that pack and leave you with a nice flash frozen glacier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Well then I'll be down to 5". See what happens. If winds are lighter than the damage could be less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If winds are lighter than the damage could be less. bright sun and southerly winds are the ultimate snow pack killer, especially when all but an inch or two is low water content fluff.

Geos Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 25°/24° currently. A slight, variable wind. Comfortable morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 bright sun and southerly winds are the ultimate snow pack killer, especially when all but an inch or two is low water content fluff. I may lose the 2-3 inches of top fluff, but the zr created glacier underneath wont go anywhere until april, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I may lose the 2-3 inches of top fluff, but the zr created glacier underneath wont go anywhere until april, lol. Some of the fluff here will become part of the glacier underneath. CLTV showing 42° today and 48° tomorrow. Obviously for areas with no snow cover.

A-L-E-K Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 with south winds, sunny skies, and little to no snow cover to your south, there will be little airmass modification. I wouldn't expect your snowpack to make much of a difference temp wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 front comes thru here around noon tomorrow. I'm hoping to climb to 36'ish or so for a while to settle some of the snow so riding will be easier. the powder is so deep, riding isn't the easiest... easy to get stuck.

Hoosier Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 LOT had this to say about the snow cover... WAA CONTINUES TOMORROW WITH GUIDANCE INDICATING 925MB TEMPS AT +6 TO +8C. THEREFORE RAISED HIGH TEMPS AGAIN WITH 40S ACROSS THE CWA. PLACES IN IOWA WITH 7 INCHES OF SNOW ON THE GROUND REACHED THE LOW 40S YESTERDAY...SO DESPITE THE SNOWPACK...40S ARE POSSIBLE AS FAR NORTH AS THE WI/IL STATE LINE. 50S ARE LIKELY FOR AREAS WITHOUT SNOW...AND MAY BE TOO COOL STILL WITH LOW 50S FORECAST.

Torching here at 34-35°. High water content will save the 5" glacier base though. Low dewpoints and light winds should help in damage control.

wisconsinwx Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Snow depth here is a little over 10", and it will likely be a pretty stable, rock solid pack. I'd imagine we'll lose a couple inches off it today and tomorrow, hopefully not much sun tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Snow or no snow..next week will be brutal... showing -15F here Sun nite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 lack of snow cover and just enough urban/lake influence should help keep me above 0 but it's going to be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 lack of snow cover and just enough urban/lake influence should help keep me above 0 but it's going to be close. I'm liking how the below normal temperature winter continues. Now someone just needs to let the big dogs out. BTW, congrats on finally posting your real pic as your avatar, Alek.

Jonger Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 lack of snow cover and just enough urban/lake influence should help keep me above 0 but it's going to be close. Only those on the other side of the lake could ever predict no snowcover this far in advance... Almost guaranteed to have LES covering the ground here.

A-L-E-K Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 41 bank clock (and MDW)...nice to get rid of this ugly crap snow pack. If it's less than 12" deep, it's not worth keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My niece and sis in law will be in downtown Chicago next week. Hopefully its not too cold. Some sort of high rise college they are visiting. Sounds expensive.
