Natester Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It is supposed to get down to 35F here tonight. The bad news is that the old furnace ducts were taken out on July 21, 2014 and the new furnace ducts haven't been fully installed yet! I'm bracing for a VERY COLD night here.

Geos Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 A cold driving rain at 46°. This could easily pass as November 12th! Might have to turn on the furnace tonight. Already caved in... it was 61° in the house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 one of the more impressive lake effect rain events in recent years...band is quite persistent I rarely complain about cold, but on the golf course this morning, I could be heard mumbling "This sucks" under my breathe.

Chicago WX Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 pretty confident this is the worst Feb. 12 i'll ever experience weather wise. to the bolded. 57˚ the high today at LAF, 23˚ below the normal high of 80˚. Shatters the airport record low max for today (63˚ in 1975). But, the usual caveat of some missing years applies. The WL COOP record for today is 52˚ set in 1902.

cyclone77 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Down to 42 already here. Cleared out but no auroras yet. Bz was way negative until shortly before sunset and then went way positive, and has been ever since. Once it crashes back south should be a great show.

cyclone77 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Already reached the point of 38 here. Didn't really think we'd get frost tonight, but it's starting to look like it could be a possibility. Bz still holding well above +15. Looks like I'm out for the auroras, as it's about bed time for me. Good luck to those of you lucky enough to stay up late tonight. Still could be a great show once the IMF flips. Or if it flips I should say lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Only dropped to 40F... too much moisture around to drop off. Even the state lows only hit 30F (n Wi). International Falls was 25F...so a hard freeze occurred across N MN. Today/tomorrow look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 850mb temps near -4C right now is pretty impressive.....had a low of 41 at MKE and will probably struggle to climb out of the mid 50's this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Cedar Rapids officially hit 35 this morning. It may have hit 36 at my house. There was no frost, even in the open field near my house. It probably helped that everything was wet going into the night. Mason City and Waterloo dropped to the low 30s with frost. There don't appear to be any additional frost chances for the next couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 About 49° now, but now it has clouded up. So much for mostly sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
