A-L-E-K Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 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. roosevelt? If so, the building is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Up to 44 here. Best climo. Yep 44 here too, Way overperforming. P n c had us down for 37, then IWX bumped us to 40 this morning. I'm saying 54 tomorrow. My current p n c says 51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I will be in Chicago this weekend, and I will always take mild weather when on a trip. Will have to go from 40s on Saturday, perhaps 50, to single digits on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 forecasted high for tomorrow went from 38 to 36 and now to only 34 tomorrow. not much of a thaw. then an extended period of snows again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 roosevelt? If so, the building is pretty cool. All I know is the bottom of the building is the college and the top of the building is the dorms... Clouds rule now.. had sun all morning. Mild out, but windy.

Good, as long as northern Michigan escapes the warmth, I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Lost 1-1.5" of snow depth to compaction. Still snow on the trees and vegetation. Depth is 8-9". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Snowpack looks great right now. Here's a pic before it takes a beating over the weekend. We'll lose the nice fresh fluff on top, ice storm glacier pack should survive. Rivers will likely be pretty high by Sunday, they are already moving pretty quick today.

I really don't think our snowpack will take much of a hit here. We'll lose some sure but it won't take a "beating" like you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I really don't think our snowpack will take much of a hit here. We'll lose some sure but it won't take a "beating" like you say. If the clouds hang on and the Sun does not come out were good. The heat should get trapped in the clouds and the snow cover will help retain a cooler sfc but still above freezing. We saw that last week when temperatures were around 2-3C with some rain showers, however our snow cover only lost a few cms. Next week looks really cold btw, lol. I wouldn't be surprised if regions in the GTA drop below -20C at night including YYZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hit 37 today but didn't lose much snow. Still a good 5". Lots of melting on paved areas though. The point for tomorrow got bumped up again, now to 44. Should lose at least a few inches tomorrow, but will still have a decent cover to last into Jan with this arctic air coming.

Geos Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 36° for a high at home, 37° at UGN. P n' C has 41° here tomorrow. Hoping to have a 7" snow depth this time tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 High 39, depth back down to a T here. Assuming it hits the 40s tomorrow I will probably go down to 0 snowdepth for the first time since December 7th. Just dirty snowbanks. Hopefully not for long.

daddylonglegs Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 38F here...not much melting other then the driveway. GFS shows -25F @ 384hrs. The pattern looks like a repeat, go in the dumper (cold), we torch again, repeat...repeat... just load after load of cold air. Good ole fashion winter. Be interesting watching the obs out of Mt Washington next week... SE Canada/NE US really get hammered with cold air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I made up a cumulative snowfall chart showing where I am in reference to the average snowfall nearby at Lake Villa here in Lake County and with respect to the average snowfall since 1998-1999 winter. Ahead of the curves so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting watching the obs out of Mt Washington next week... SE Canada/NE US really get hammered with cold air. Good to hear, because 38F will probably be best-case scenario tomorrow (more likely reaching 40F or low 40s around Milwaukee). May keep most of the glacier intact, though.

cyclone77 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Temp has actually warmed this evening. Up to 38 now. Can hear dripping outside. All the icicles that had built up over the past week have fallen off the gutters. Should still have a good 2-3" of cement after tomorrow's torch, but it's gonna look like crap going forward.

Geos Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Was 38° about an hour ago, but now that the winds have subsided it is 36° imby. About an additional 1/2" of snow compaction since sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 mid 50s tomorrow? Point has 48 but given the SW flow and the warm temps aloft, I wonder if it's underdone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Point has 48 but given the SW flow and the warm temps aloft, I wonder if it's underdone. That's way underdone. This morning's point bumped you to 51 and me to 52. I'm still thinking 54, as I posted yesterday. Whatever it gets up to, the Christmas lights are coming down. I always wait until a 'warm' day, but it's usually in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Point has 48 but given the SW flow and the warm temps aloft, I wonder if it's underdone. Way. Probably have a shot at 55º. Golf courses will be packed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Reminds me of a weekend trip to the south, without the drive. A perfect break to the weather and a great day to get some things done outside. Yesterday was spent washing all the salt off the trucks, detailing the interiors and removing the Christmas lights. Today, going for a walk with the kids and then a dinner party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
