Geos Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Feels really nice outside compared to last night. Predicted to be 11°, mostly cloudy with a south wind tonight. Something tells me that's going to bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Pics of this mornings hoar frost. It was just gorgeous. That is very rare around here. The first several pics are when the fog was still burning off so the sky was a murky hazy gray still, but once it cleared, blue sky took over.

Geos Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Love the ice coated trees with the blue skies. Wonderful pics Snow Freak! --- Temp staying steady tonight. Hit 24° today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks guys...it truly was a sight to behold, and if I didnt have to go to work I would have been at a park immediately. Very photogenic but like any frost, it slowly melted off the trees throughout the day as the sun was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 ^ Nice pics. This time last night it was -6. Tonight it's 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Departure for the month is -13.99° here. Very likely the lowest it will go. Still steady temperature here since sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 nice to see the cold air lurking in canada and waiting to pounce. I'll be ready for another chill down after this weak sauce torch part of next week. probably avg BN normal to end the month and hopefully all of march and april are well below normal just to aggravate the local masses even more.

Powerball Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 So after this east coast storm, Philadelphia (43.3" as of 2/12/14) will have more snow than Alpena, MI (45.5" as of 2/12/14) for the season-to-date, which BTW Alpena is currently ~10" below average for the season-to-date. Pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty impressive. More importantly, they will have had much more impressive rates at times than the likes of Milwaukee has had at any point in the season (1-2" per hour rates is the best the airport could muster so far, and locally I don't think I've seen better than 1" per hour rates at any point this season). The word "rippage" has hardly been in my vocabulary this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 the east coast will always have a better snow climo...we've hashed this out before. clippers are boring, big dogs rule, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgeous shots, Freak! Hey, it's still winter and I for one wouldn't mind some more snow. The bitter cold I can do without. I don't know what's progged up in Cheeseland, but down here, highs should be close to 35° warmer than a few days this week. It sure won't feel like weak sauce torch. Sunscreen and thongs baby!

blue60007 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Down below zero once again here. Dropped to -3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Down below zero once again here. Dropped to -3. Overachiever. LAF with -3º too. 17th sub-zero day of the winter at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I got better things to spend my $$$ on, than high heating bills! Daddy needs bigger TV! lol, okey dokey. I just got my latest electric bill yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised. Though I did put a rather large over/under on it. I may have spoke too soon in my previous post...as it looks like Saturday morning has a chance at another sub-zero low. Pull the blinds Mottster.

It also goes to show how much the wealth has been spread this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 06z GFS and 00z GGEM are much improved for the Monday/Tuesday system. Not the big dog shown before, but still potentially a quick moderate/heavy hitter with solid rates. Perhaps 3-5"/4-6" of cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics forthcoming. No matter what happens from now through Spring, I simply cant complain with the winter we have had. Snowcover has been so far above normal this winter its ridiculous, (weve already obliterated the old record for days with 10"+ snowdepth, at least since 1906), but the ONE thing I can say...is if we could hold off a torch (which it appears we wont, at least to some extent) with the cold looking to return, we could have a northern MI style snowmelt in the spring. Bitter cold is not at all needed, sunny March days with temps near 40F would still have that snow on the ground while the body would feel so warm lol. Not like a fresh March snow that goes POOF when the sun comes out. Oh well cant control the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 MEX MOS already has low 50's for next Wed and Thu for LAF. Shame it'll ruin the impressive cold departures we've built up so far this month, but a torch was inevitable. Oh well...a nice run for the first almost half of February. The negative double digit daily departure streak (almost all -20 or lower since the 6th, save for the 9th) is pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
