IWXwx Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 38.5 with flurries at IWX! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2hHeU2ejBM It's a little warmer down here In Huntington (at 42°) than you guys up in North Webster, but with the wind blowing at 15-25-MPH, a few degrees doesn't matter, it's raw! Just a little sleet/graupel here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 It looks like ORD is gonna beat its record low max by several degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Right on. My mom said she saw it too. No dice here...just some miserable really cold liquid here this morning. Might as well have been snowing...at least that would've been kinda neat from a historical perspective. Frost advisory for us tonight. Wouldn't be totally surprised if we end up with a freeze.

cyclone77 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Had a nice burst of light snow around 8 this morning. Looked like it was snowing pretty decently in the distance to the west, as the trees were obscured out that way for a bit. This beats the previous earliest snowfall I've personally witnessed, which was Oct 10 a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Frost advisory's up for all of MKX and LOT now. Expected lows between 30-37°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Frost is looking patchy at best around here tonight. We'll drop off fairly quickly this evening, but the wind will never go calm and there should be some high clouds moving in from the west by midnight. My garden should last another week+.

IWXwx Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 A helicopter pilot at a local hospital just reported all snow at 2000 ft. 60's later in the week are going to feel nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 It looks like ORD is gonna beat its record low max by several degrees. Or not. Temps still creeping up. May still beat it but it's going to be closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwburbschaser Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I was looking back at past years to see how this cold stacks up against what we have seen recently and I'm amazed at how warm it has been on October 4th in the last 10 or so years. I don't remember it for some reason, but the 87 degrees on this date in 2005 would feel great right now. Edit: The 87 degree October 4th in 2005 was also the opening game of the Red Sox/White Sox series so now I actually do remember that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Some late afternoon sun helped get temps here up to 50. On the western edge of the frost advisory here, with a point of 33. Hit 35 early this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 down to 36 and finally a changeover to snow. interesting couple of facts: looks as if the snow is right on schedule... We just had a quick burst of a rain/snow mix at the office, marking the first recorded flakes of the season! The first few days of October mark the average date of the first trace of snowfall at NWS Marquette. 2014 now marks the only year that Chicago (O'Hare) recorded the season's first snowflakes earlier than NWS Marquette since records began at NWS Marquette in 1962. It did so by a mere eight hours (8:28am EDT at O'Hare and 4:30pm EDT at NWS Marquette). US National Weather Service Chicago Illinois saw snow mix with rain across much of its forecast area this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fact above in bold is kinda funny! 8 hours before... 170 days since the last trace of snow on April 16th. High of only 45° here today. Can see the brightening of clouds to the west - going to be a cold one tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 What a difference one week makes. Last week Saturday, I was mowing at 7p.m. and it was 80 and I was sweating.

cyclone77 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Temps must have crashed pretty quickly late in the night. Was still 44 at 1am, but somehow made it down to 33. Clouds must have broke for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It was a frosty morning here. Frost on roofs and the ground, but not directly under trees. Low of 33°. Will have to see whether the garden plants made it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Most of WNY has picked up 1-2 inches of lake effect rain/graupel since yesterday afternoon. It is a perfect day to stay inside and watch football all day. GO Bills!! (Sorry Lions fans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Not even close to a frost here, as clouds remained stubborn throughout the night. Yesterday's high of 46˚ at LAF was 24˚ below the normal high for the date. That's the 18th time this year that LAF has put up a -20˚ or lower departure with a max temp. On the flip side of things, there have been no 20˚+ departures this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know why that stat fascinates me so much, but I even texted my mom lol (shes always been sort of interested in weather, but with me later in life shes gotten into weather stats a bit lol). That really puts 2014 into perspective here in the Lakes/Midwest. I looked it up for Detroit...there have been 14 days in 2014 with high temps 20 degrees or more below normal (most extreme departure was -33F) and we did eek out 2 days 20 degrees above normal (most extreme was +20, obviously set twice lol). The winter is what really smashed the record books, but the rest of the year has maintained enough of a below normal temp pattern that 2014 is still on pace to be in the top 20 coldest years on record for Detroit, something not seen since 1979.
