Hoosier Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 42˚ in the LAF. Thought about kicking on the heat this morning, but nah...too early for that nonsense. ARR hit 36˚...MLI 37˚...DPA 39˚...IKK 39˚...RFD 39˚...UGN 39˚...ORD 41˚ I gotta think we have a shot at 30s tonight. 850 mb temps are a bit warmer but it looks like a better radiational cooling setup.

Jackstraw Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Cloud deck from the fetch off of Lake Michigan is thick all the way down here and the wind had an uncomfortable bite all morning wile working outside. If that can clear out in my area I wouldn't be surprised to see 39 tonight here. Don't know if I'll hit 60 today, 59 and holding. Last winter was the first full winter for me here after 25 years in Fl. and SC. Love the snow but that bitter cold about put me in a psyche ward. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come temp wise this winter. Got a chuckle from KIND discussion.... "SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO CLEAR OUT AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WILL RETURN TO ANOTHER PICTURESQUE CHAMBER OFCOMMERCE CENTRAL INDIANA WEATHER DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW 70S."

hawkeye_wx Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 At the last minute the NWS lowered our low tonight to 37 and added patchy frost. I should have expected that. The second night following a strong frontal passage can be sneaky cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The GFS is killin' it. .....aaannnd the furnace is on. Couldn't handle 62 in the house. Ha no shame in that. I was actually looking forward to using the new furnace after years of the boiler which took forever to heat up the whole system. Usually left it off until it was time to consistently need it. With the new forced air heating system it's nice to be able to just kick on the heat and bam, it's toasty in minutes. Went out and spent some time in the crisp evening air a little while ago. Found a cool new location for some milky way shots at a desolate graveyard in the middle of BFE south of here. Was very creepy, with an owl that kept hooting from somewhere in the woods behind me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Great shots Joel. Spooky looking setting. LAF comes up one degree shy of 39˚ this morning. Terre Haute (HUF) did hit 39˚ though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 KARB almost got down to freezing last night . I also learned from someone who's seen it in person that the station is actually in a relatively small, localized valley... So it's cold readings are likely explained by that rather than the general low-lyingness of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Very nice pictures Cyclone. You know how to work that camera. And we have several BFE locations out this way too. Some are kind of eerie late at night. Sun is finally starting to break out. Hoping to get to 65°. Seems strange to be thinking that it will feel nice at this time of year.

It's hard to get that good of a view of the milky way in suburban Cleveland (or even SE Ohio) due to too much light pollution, so I haven't seen it that well since I was at Rice Lake in Canada, well north of Lake Ontario many years ago. Hit 41 on campus this morning. I'm getting ready for it to get even colder than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hit 37F at my house and KOZW. Howell airport hit 37F on this same date last year, was this the infamous frost squabble discussion anniversary? http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/41017-september-2013-general-discussion/?p=2411842 Same setup this year and both the airport and my PWS both were within 1 Degree.

Geos Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Low of 41° this morning. WAA kicked in during the wee hours of the morning, so not a chance of frost happening. Couple weeks though it's fair game. Wonderful photos Cyclone! Wish the night skies were that dark around here to see the Milky Way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 ^Thanks for the kind words guys. Not quite as cool as yesterday's 35, as we settled to 36 here early this morning. Very nice day today with deep blue skies, and temps in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hit 37F at my house and KOZW.

That's weird, I thought it felt exceptionally cold this morning at 43°F and thought "this has to be close to a record low" and then I checked and it was relatively close (the record was 37°F) and realized it actually was one degree colder on the same date last year than it was this morning.

Gilbertfly Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Late freeze in may has limited the amount of good fruit on some of my trees. Normally i have a few week period when the migratory birds stop by and go to town on the sloppy seconds here in the fall...curious to see their reaction when they come on through here over the next month and find nothing. Also, gonna be a long winter for the possums and raccoons locally who usually start stocking up from my trees now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
