mjwise Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It is BRUTAL outside! Really efficient CAA in lower SEMI, -8 / -35 at DTW 6PM with ~30 MPH gusts. The cold air is rounding just south of Lake Michigan and blasting us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 lol, my car won't be dug out for weeks I feel you. I had it nice and clean around it and then a plow went by and effectively made it worse than if I had not done anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Down to 6f with a windchill of -2 IMBY. Dropping like a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 -8.0° at my PWS, lowest I've ever recorded in my generally sheltered inner-city locale. The urban heat island is no match for the cold hand of old man winter.Coldest weather here in the city since 1994. A few years back it made it to -10° at DTW but only -3-4° here. There are some marginally hardy flowering shrubs in my yard I planted in the past several years that might not make it out of this alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No such thing as UHI in a tundra environment in the face of CAA like this. Down to -12 / -38 now at KARB. Rafters are making contraction popping sounds here. That's how I can tell when -10 has been reached. Happened in 2009 too but not at 7PM in the evening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Flight got canceled 5 min before departure (which was already delayed by 3 hours after I had already gotten to the airport. ) Anyway, can confirm the -37 windchill at DTW.

Trent Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Going to be some ridiculous temperature spreads today in Ohio. I'm hoping one of these can pull off a 60 degree swing. You'd think this has got be one of the biggest spreads on record for these sites.

michsnowfreak Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 At 7pm DTW was -10F, blowing snow, and breezy, tying (and soon breaking) todays record low of -10F from 1999. Tomorrows unusually "mild" record of -5F from 1942 will be shattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Noticed some clouds moving in from the west. Hoping that help keep temperatures up. Take care IndyMeso - hope your power comes back on real soon! A few pictures I took along the lakefront between Kenosha and Racine. Plan to get some better ones in the morning. SnowFreak you should send that picture in! Gorgeous colors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Wow, classic winter sunset. Great pic. I agree, amazing pic. lol -10° on my PWS now, 6 degrees colder than I've ever measured on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that is what the sun looks like... Wow, classic winter sunset. Great pic. I was just in your area twice over Christmas. My wife's sister and family just moved to Moon (up the hill from Moon Park). I got to witness the small snowstorm there last week. Do you guys have any snow left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to break them out in July. I haven't dared to step outside yet into the elements since sundown to feel just how frigid it is outside, but I kind of want to just to say I know what a ~40 below wind chill feels like.
