Torchageddon Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 At 7:00 am its showing -26ºC but I'm not sure if that's true since its currently -24ºC. Regardless, its the coldest so far this winter with the wind chill which peaked at -33ºC overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Currently -4F at DTW with sunshine and a deep sparkly snowpack. Record outlook for Detroit... Just missed the record snowfall for January 1st when 6.4" fell and the record was 7.0" (1978) Stand a very good chance at breaking the record snowfall for January 5th, which is currently 4.6" (2005) Stand a decent chance at breaking the record cold high temp for January 6th, which is currently 5F (1912) Stand a very good chance at smashing the record low for January 7th, which is currently -5F (1942) Stand a very good chance at breaking the record cold high temp January 7th, which is currently 3F (1942) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmett Brown Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Made it down to -17 here last night (at least that was the local reading that I happened to notice at 1am), before moderating to -9 this morning due to clouds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ground blizzard! Maybe. WWA up for the LOT CWA for blowing and drifting snow tomorrow afternoon through Sat am. Discussion below. BIGGER ISSUE AND CHANGE TO GOING FORECAST IS WE`RE GOING TO HOIST A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BLOWING SNOW FOR LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...THOUGH ANTICIPATE THE WORST CONDITIONS TO BE TOMORROW EVENING. GUIDANCE IS IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT ON VERY STRONG PRESSURE FALLS OVER UPPER GREAT LAKES AND TIGHTENING GRADIENT TO RESULT IN VERY STRONG WINDS AT THE SURFACE. SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 20KT SEEM LIKELY WITH GUSTS AROUND 30KT LIKELY. GIVEN THE VERY LOW WATER CONTENT OF THE SNOW IT SHOULD BE EASILY PICKED UP AND WHIPPED AROUND BY THESE STRONG WINDS RESULTING IN THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW IN OPEN AND RURAL AREAS. A SIMILAR EVENT WITH LESS SNOW BUT WINDS ABOUT 5-10KT STRONGER PRODUCED A GROUND BLIZZARD THAT CLOSED INTERSTATES BACK ON JAN 30 2008 AND AM CONCERNED THAT WE COULD BE CLOSE TO A GROUND BLIZZARD AGAIN TOMORROW EVENING IN OPEN AREAS. GIVEN THAT ROAD CREWS HAVE BEEN GOING FOR 48 HOURS OR MORE WITHOUT A BREAK AND THAT THIS IS A NEW ADDITION TO THE FORECAST...HAVE OPTED TO HOIST A WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR BLOWING SNOW ON THIS SHIFT TO RAISE AWARENESS AND GET THE WORD OUT EARLY. SHOULD HAVE UPDATED ZFP/WSW OUT SHORTLY. IZZI/BEACHLER i'm gonna spend so much time on the couch this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Pretty sure we've got some diamond dust going on here right now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_dust Very cool. Can't believe RFD hit -18. Even ORD hit -12, and DPA -11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Very cool. Can't believe RFD hit -18. Even ORD hit -8, and DPA -11. Deep region wide snowpack is really going to help this airmass reach its maximum potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60007 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Pretty sure we've got some diamond dust going on here right now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_dust Definitely saw some funky low level clouds or fog on the way into campus.

beavis1729 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Deep region wide snowpack is really going to help this airmass reach its maximum potential. Yep. Given the potential for cloud cover and some wind with this upcoming arctic outbreak, I really think the incredibly cold daytime highs will be the big story. Of course, if the winds can die down and/or the skies can clear for either Mon/Tues night, I think -25 is possible in the suburbs, including ORD.

IWXwx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I just jumped on here during lunch. I'm surprised no one has started a thread for the 8th-9th threat. There's so much going on, it's hard to keep up with everything. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If we end up with around 10" with this storm, we will be above 35" this early in the season, really incredible when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
