cyclone77 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Areas outside of the metro area have already fallen below -10. MSP went calm the past hour so we will see what happens. Did you move up there to the MSP area permanently? Man the southeast WI crew has really lost a lot of members the last year or two. Suckville, Bowme, Moneybags, Turtle, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Wow - just checked some temps...the heat island at MSP is bad. I never realized it was so significant. I guess one just imagines MSP being "cold" in the winter...without realizing how much colder it can be nearby.

Suckville, Bowme, Moneybags, Turtle, etc. Yup, luckily found a job out here right away. I'm sure I will chime in if there is anything interesting weather wise across SE WI but I'm looking forward to a new climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Brewers, welcome to the TC. Just moved here myself. Nice to have another poster up in these parts. Not many of us this far north. -13F in mby this morning. Strangely it didn't feel too bad. Maybe the last 2 weeks has numbed me permanently.

daddylonglegs Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 -13F or colder here...held -8F or so most of the nite... brr....coldest night yet. Good rebound today...showing 16F. MSP is big time heat island...but get away from city and temps plummet. Know lots of people in MSP. Nice city. A lot of high school mates/wife's friends all bolted for that area. Its very spread out. Traffic can suck at times. That area gets a lot of severe weather...much more then around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Managed to radiate down to -9F this morning with clear skies and light wind. Nice crisp feeling to the air waiting at the bus stop, blue skies and a golden sunrise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Have had -SN from the LE all night, but in the last few hours there's been periods of solid -SN. 0.4" thus far, with another solid burst -SN currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Actually had lake effect make it this far west around 4-5am. Was extremely light and only amounted to a trace. Due to the clouds that rolled in from the east, we only made it down to 0. Not too far southwest at MLI they dropped to at least -9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 coldest temp reported in the UP this morning was -32 in the interior west. I had -16 for a low. ready for some milder weather. normals are 22/6, even that would feel nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Will be interesting to see how cold we get tonight. Short range guidance (HRRR/RAP) is really aggressive, suggesting around -10F or even colder, which is probably overdone. But as mentioned yesterday, this looks like a more favorable setup for radiational cooling potential than some of those other nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IND doesn't have us going below zero (p&c and zone forecast min is 1˚). Regardless...if it goes like this morning did, I'll go LAF -2˚, KTIM -3˚, blue -4˚ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could get a several hour period of calm/near calm later. Probably. I can count on one hand, and probably not use two fingers, how many times I've had a min temp lower than LAF. Strange stuff. Even steven right now...11˚ vs 11˚. May the best thermometer win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
