Jealous only because, even with all our snow this season, they've rarely been the fun, gigantic cake flakes. It really was a thing of beauty. Totally unexpected too.

Depending on the track it takes and how quickly it deepens, this low may be flirting with the lowest February barometric pressures once it gets toward northern Michigan/UP. Here's a map of the lowest February pressures on record. I believe many of these in IL/IN etc were set with the deep low on 2/28/1902. In case some don't know how to read this, put a decimal between the 2nd and 3rd numbers on the map and mentally add a 9 in front to come up with the pressure. Gino mentioned this in the morning LOT afd TO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE JUST HOW IMPRESSIVE THIS STORM IS...A COLLEGUE AT WPC WHO HAS BEEN DOING WORK WITH MINIMUM/MAXIMUM MONTHLY PRESSURE TOOK A QUICK LOOK AND INITIAL FINDINGS INDICATE THAT THIS STORM WILL LIKELY BE THE DEEPEST FEBRUARY LOW PRESSURE IN THIS REGION SINCE 1902!

Whitelakeroy Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have to laugh at the SWS by DTX. One of their bullet points: "VARIABLE WINDS AROUND 5 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 15 MPH" We have E winds at 20 with gust to 30 for the past hour + now. Wonder if it has to do with my elevation...

The ice is about 18" deep on most rivers around here so the ice jams could be unbelievable and sadly we could see some towns just completely inundated tomorrow. Strong chance of some unbelievable numbers tomorrow Holy cow, that sounds awful! I'm in NW Ohio, too, but haven't heard of this so far - which towns are being inundated?

Temps will quickly rocket upward. Thankfully the cold front will be following it. Temps overachiving the HiRez models in IL/IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
