2013-2014 Winter Rankings

Curious how this winter's temperature and snowfall frequency ranks against the record books?  Taking a look at the average temperature for the meteorological winter so far (Dec 1 - Feb 11), this winter is 7th coldest in La Crosse, Wisconsin and 8th in Rochester, Minnesota.  This is the coldest winter since the winter of 1977-78 in La Crosse, WI and 1978-79 in Rochester.  

From December 1st through February 11th, the temperature has fallen below zero 37 times in La Crosse (7th most through this date) and 41 times in Rochester (6th most through this date).  Even more impressive is that the temperature has fallen to -10 or colder on 22 days at La Crosse, WI.  This is the 6th most through February 11th and 12th greatest for a winter.

In addition, the area has seen frequent snows.   Ranking the number of days of measurable snowfall (0.1" or more), this winter so far ranks 3rd in La Crosse.

The fog has lifted, sky is blue, and trees are caked in white rime unlike anything you see with even an ice storm of wet snowstorm. Its something different every day this winter. GORGEOUS! I put on my boots and ran outside for a quick walk around the neighborhood and some pics, but if I didnt have to work I would have went to the park or a heavily wooded area for these photo ops...a photographers dream lol

Chazz = salkville? lol

 

Another cold one here tonight. FWA's record is a little harder to break tomorrow (-14° 1899). P-n-c calling for -11°. Of course last night it was calling for -10° and hit -16°.

 

FWA once again overperforms to set a record for the second morning in a row:

GFS signaling a torch by the 21st or so?  2m temps near 50?

 

This is a pattern long foreseen by the recurring #Rossby and #ISO. I couldn't find any earlier images (see tweet link) of the warm up coming in late FEB. I suppose a month and a half out is decent enough. Hope it verifies. Go Chicago!
