Chicago WX Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Clinton County, which is the county just to the east/southeast of LAF, had 82 vehicle rescues since Friday night. Craziness. http://wlfi.com/2014/01/26/clinton-county-reports-80-snow-rescues/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 This was my back yard on Saturday before the 6 - 8" we got last night. For reference the drift is about 5' tall at its peak. Very nice picture. Reminds me of how some sandstones are when they were formed by wind deposits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Pixie dust "squalls" here at times today. Consolation prize for missing out last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLMKA Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Midwest Regional Climate center is your best bet (use the cli-MATE button near the top of the front page). http://mrcc.isws.illinois.edu You have to register for the cli-MATE section, but it's free. It has threshold capabilities for several categories, for locations all over the USA. Thanks, man! I should be able to find what I'm looking for there it seems.

weatherbo Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 thought this was cool. The local news channel, I think they are just west of Traverse, near Maple city (Leelanau pen), where they had 26" of snow over the weekend. CRAZY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 http://live.chicagotribune.com/Event/News_Chicago-Tribune-Instagram-photos-trib2014 Incredible photos. And it's amazing that almost everyone literally is using that chiberia hash tag, never thought it would spread like that after I recommended one of my coworkers to put it in a tweet we sent out back on January 4th.

Geos Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Those are incredible pictures! Month will go down as at least 8 below normal. - possibly -9° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I posted this in the ongoing clippers thread, but its probably more pertinent in the January thread. Picked up 2.6" of snow today, im now at 35.0" in January and 51.9" on the season. My previous snowiest month on record was 31.8" in Feb 2011, and I have been recording snow since Fall 1995. Some official numbers... Detroit picked up 2.7" today, further increasing the snowiest January on record, monthly total now 34.6" and the season total 51.3". We are now just 0.4" away from surpassing Dec 1974 and becoming the 2nd snowiest month on record! As a side note, Detroit is already tied for 29th snowiest winter on record, and today is exactly the halfway point in the snow season, statistically speaking. Flint picked up 2.1" today, so they too increased their snowiest January on record, monthly total now 31.6" and season total 50.1". Toledo, OH picked up 2.5" today, so they are incredibly at 38.9" in January, over 8" higher than their previous snowiest MONTH on record! They are at 50.6" on the season, which ALREADY places them at their 13th snowiest winter to go, and we are just at the halfway mark. DTW is now 0.1" away from the all time monthly record!!!

Hoosier Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 A little OT but you don't see a radar like this very often. Heavy sleet in Mobile and a number of locations in the FL panhandle reporting freezing rain now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 26.4" so far this month. Would be nice to get to 30", but Thursday's system looks too far north. Upper 20s in deep south LA right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 DTW is now 0.1" away from the all time monthly record!!! Yup...they picked up another 0.2" in yesterday afternoons snow squalls.

TugHillMatt Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Nice pics, guys! We are quickly running out of places to put snow around here. There is so much snow! I love it. I'll have to take some new pictures tomorrow. If we get the lake enhanced event Thursday, and then a couple storms, I think some of my friends will move south!

cyclone77 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 At -3 at the moment. Now that it's past midnight this makes for the 14th day this month below zero. 23rd of the season. No subzero lows in the point forecast, so it's not out of the question this could be it for the season. Wouldn't bet on that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 still snowing days later. 3-4" overnight, w/ winds.... schools closed for a 3rd day which is amazing up here. reports of impassable roads all over the Emmet, Charlevoix, and Antrim counties. Talcum snow does add up. I've had an estimated 9-10" from persistent non stop snow since Monday alone. snow depth area wide is 35-40" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Originally thought it felt warmer today, then the wind knocked me back. A lot of bare spots from blowing and drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Snow has finally ended after a week I think. Actually see peeks of blue sky every now and then. I drive by this damn van everyday and can't help but document its burial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I guess the lake still has open spots on it. Surprise lake effect event today with 50 mph+ wind gusts causing for near blizzard conditions along the lakeshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
