Chicago WX Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Another frost fail here. 43˚ and cloudy at midnight at LAF. No chance, no how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I believe this is just not the month for frost this year. We're predestined to have the first frost some time next month, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Thanks Bo and Geos! Definitely peak colors here now, maybe a few days past peak really. Still 41° here. The furnace hasn't even kicked on as the sun warmed the house all day. Only headed down to the upper 30s tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It got colder than expected this morning. This is our heaviest frost so far and the stone bird bath had ice in it. I may lose a couple plants this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yesterday (10/13) was the 30-year average date for FWA to hit 32°. I noticed that the seven day point doesn't have us getting below 37°, so I had to check out the latest freeze date and found out that it was 11/24/1931! (The latest 28° date is 11/25/1931) Guess I don't have to worry about breaking that one for awhile. Indeed. FORT WAYNE MOCLDY 32 31 96 CALM 30.20S 6HR MIN TEMP: 32; 6HR MAX TEMP: 43 LAF cleared out late, and then quickly dropped...but only hit 33˚ this morning.

michsnowfreak Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Detroit saw the first official freeze of the season today. I believe the low was 32F, unless there was an intra-hour dip. Low per local wunderground thermometer here was 31F. This first freeze (Oct 19) is right on par with the longterm (Oct 21) and 30-year (Oct 20) average.

Super torches. I lived Marion, IN at the time and measured 8.5". A few days later it was in the 70's. When it melted, it was quite the quagmire.

When it melted, it was quite the quagmire. 84˚ at the WL COOP on 10/15. You take out the events of Oct 18-20, 1989...and it was like summer in that part of the month. Afterwards...November was cool, December was frigid...and then winter 1989-90 was over. Jan, Feb, and Mar 1990 were complete infernos. OT but...emBEARrassing performance by the beloved today, so far.

Highs and lows at the airport in the days surrounding that snowstorm: IIRC, the 850 mb 0C line made it to the GOM...pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Colours are peeking in the region. Travelled to the Pontiac region today for a soccer match with my daughter, the weather was perfect. Kids playing in the leaves, making piles and jumping in them. Parents huddled together, Tim's in hand. Watching the morning game unfold on a frosty pitch. Man I'm pissed with myself for not taking some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in 2nd grade at the time. Remember the leaves mixed in with the snow. --- Today was by far the best day of the weekend. Felt warm with the sun out. Spent a majority of the day in the Baraboo - Devil's Lake area hiking. Pics coming later. 53° for the high today. Slightly warmer to the west.

cyclone77 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Great night to go out and shoot some pics. Headed out towards Lyndon IL and came across this foot bridge which crosses the Rock River. Did a little research when I got back, and found that it was built in 1894 and is registered in the National Register of Historic Places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
