huronicane Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Not sure what the temperature is here, feels much colder than it did last night, though. Whatever the temperature, it was enough to kill my battery while I was sleeping. A wonderful frustration for this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Forecast temps looks great through until Sunday. Hopefully we can minimize melting of last night's snow although northerly flow may not take over for a few hours now. Clipper snow should have no trouble sticking around when that swings through. Pretty frigid as well so ratios will be favourable. Tonight Cloudy. 40 percent chance of flurries overnight. Low minus 8. Tuesday Mainly cloudy with 40 percent chance of flurries. High minus 3. Wednesday A mix of sun and cloud with 60 percent chance of flurries. Low minus 8. High minus 4. Thursday A mix of sun and cloud. Low minus 12. High minus 5. Friday A mix of sun and cloud. Low minus 9. High minus 4. Saturday Cloudy with 40 percent chance of flurries. Low minus 7. High minus 4. Sunday A mix of sun and cloud. Low minus 8. High minus 5.

Gilbertfly Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Layers will be my MO for the week...I was originally thinking Tuesday morning would be the coldest of the week....with a decent snow pack and the clipper Wednesday bringing in a new surge of artic air and winds....it now looks like Thursday morning will be the most brutal day of the week...windchills near 20 below zero....in the words of shaggy...."zoinks!!!"

daddylonglegs Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hmmm... temperature is actually going backwards...down a degree to 9F with full sun and a nice white cover. Be a great day for hiking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 How much do you have on the ground currently?Around 6.5". Torch and rain killed a lot of the snow last week.Updated map thru tues at 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Snow really getting heavy. Took this a few minutes ago coming into Ellsworth. Temp is dropping and lake is kicking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Nice one Bo! Stay safe driving through that. Nearby points as low as -8° for Wednesday night. 66.9% of the contiguous US now covered with snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 MAV takes us below zero on Thursday morning. Given what looks to be a pretty favorable radiational cooling setup, I'd say there's a chance. I posted some stats last winter that showed that LAF can get below zero with less than an inch or no snow on the ground but that it's more uncommon to go extremely far below zero under those conditions.

daddylonglegs Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 If we can keep this up, might actually get some REAL winter cold.. Talking -25F or better The good stuff Temp continues to fall here, even with full sun...now at 6F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 If we can keep this up, might actually get some REAL winter cold..

That's the kind of cold I do not like! Made it to 19° at RAC. Wind is whipping up the snow a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Brutal outside...that wind/temp ...wow...still 6F Sun? Yeah...we get a lot of it when its very cold, but we pay for it in very cold overnight temps, especially in the valleys when the wind goes calm. Ground temps here must be way down with not having any snow cover and subzero temps. Even this thin little couple of inches isn't going to insulate much.

cyclone77 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Temps have actually drained back a few degrees here as well today. Was 12 around noon, and it's now down to 8 with full sun. 12z guidance holds off the stronger winds tonight until after midnight, so we may quickly drop below zero this eve before temps start to bounce back up later in the night. EDIT: Tremendous upper jet over much of the MW this afternoon. Near 200mph winds screaming at about 30000ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again we have a fresh snowcover. Was just looking at the latest HRRR (20z). Shows several pockets dipping to -5, and even -10 in some of the valleys of northern IL/southern WI by midnight. Even some pockets of -20 showing up in northern WI by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty extreme but with temperatures below zero in eastern IA already it might mean subzero lows in far eastern WI arent out of the question.

michsnowfreak Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 we had a few flurries this afternoon otherwise that was it. Interesting that despite the strong winds, the snow has only settled to like 0.5-0.6" from the 0.7" that fell. So if anything that freezing drizzle may have helped matters. That wind is brutal!

hawkeye_wx Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The Cedar Rapids airport had an afternoon high temp of only 5F. That site has plunged to -8F already at 7pm.
