stormtrackertf Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 apparently my old weather station doesn't go down below -10, because it's stuck at -10.0°F now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Too bad I didn't buy any bananas before the storm. I want to try the bubbles thing, although the wind right now would probably tear them to shreds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I had -16F coming back from the pizza joint in my van... She runs strong in these temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60007 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hearing about more power failures in this area. Tipmont currently has 2 substations offline, 2000 people. Wonder if it's due to the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 apparently my old weather station doesn't go down below -10, because it's stuck at -10.0°F now... -14 / -41 here at 8PM. Already at my point low for the night. Looking southwest there's still a degree or two to be shed at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 -12°F at DTW, wind chill down to -38°F.-11°F at my newer and apparently more well-adapted for the current situation weather station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be surprised at all to see DTW get down to -15, ARB usually is a few degrees colder so I can see them getting to truly frigid levels of like -18 or so.

Usually that relies on ARB's radiational cooling prowess. I wouldn't be surprised if they match up pretty closely tonight unless the wind slacks considerably.

Geos Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Some clouds have moved in, temperature steady at -13°. I tried the boiling water experiment. It worked perfectly. Instant snow cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Wow temperature has dropped like a stone since 6pm. Down to about 2F now. Winds ripping, easily 25-30 mph sustained. Getting into some lake effect action now. MASSIVE bands off Huron. Looks intense out there visibility way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*IndyMeso* Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 We lost power about an hour ago... temps are dropping quickly in the house. The worst of the storm Back on! I don't generally get nervous for a lot of things but when the house dropped internally 6 degrees in 30 minutes, I was really nervous. Was just about to pack up and try to dig out my car when it came back on. Thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 -12°F IMBY now. I'm easily going to finish tonight a good 10 degrees colder than I've ever recorded going back to the early 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Not kidding... I just saw a video on my wife's facebook... a kid was out in this frigid crap, making snow angels, DRESSED IN PAJAMA SHORTS!?!?!??!? It lasted about 10 seconds before the kid went screaming (literally) back in the house. People really are head cases anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Light Snow and temps at -9 crazy PW at the 00z sounding was 0.05in. Does this even qualify as pixie dust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Maybe we can break the record for the most states recording 0 or below as their current temperature at all (official) obs locals within' the state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Light Snow and temps at -9 crazy The Rocky Mountains can get accumulations at -10 to -30F, (very low precipitable water,) even if it's not many inches. Why not low-altitude spots? Mt. Everest probably gets snow at -60F. Gilbertfly--- wonder if 1899 or 1982 or 1918 has that record (of number of states with all places 0F). It might be difficult to compare that directly to the situation 100 years ago, when there weren't hour-by-hour observations at so many different places. Edit 486dm (4860meter) 1000-500 thicknesses at eastern Michigan. Never seen that. That would rival the thicknesses in the 1982 cold wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 So you've never experienced anything lower than 0°? EDIT: What a minute that was West Coaster that said that. Thought that was you earlier. I was out of town during the last cold snap last week, and only moved to Ontario in April 2011 (before I lived in between Vancouver and Victoria and also north western Washington state) so 0F is all she wrote for me (so far)! I know there was a cold snap last January but I remember it didn't go below 0F downtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
