Hoosier Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Cold is kinda meh here, compared to what was forecasted. Temps easily rising every hour. Wind of course makes it a little nasty. Imagine overnight mins are going to come in warmer as well in the LAF. But, still solid cold compared to what we've had thus far this winter. I don't think we're going to rise much more...I'd say a degree or two at best. Coldest air aloft overhead now and for the next few hours. Of course the midnight high will make it warmer for historical purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 -7F on the bluff (about 500ft above the city) and -3F at the airport at we approach noon. Sitting at the kitchen table with full sunshine streaming in feels pretty good (almost hot)...Jan sun+ snowcover helps ...i've read that solar panels can overproduce on days like this. Once i lose the sun, this old dump, i mean house cools off fast. Overnite lows weren't bad, but the winds sure didn't help...no school around here today. This really isn't anything out of the norm for this area...if we keep keep lows -20F or warmer, i'm good. I hate thinking what this warm sun is doing on some of my trees right now...the reflection of the snow on bark can really warm it up quick ......i think a lot of winter damage is caused by days like this.

Hoosier Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 HRRR tanks temps tonight. Has some splotches of -15F not far from LAF at 8z. I remember it being too cold with some of the cold outbreaks last winter. Not sure if we'll get the winds to fully cooperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Not too impressed with this cold outbreak. Sure it's cold, but nothing too special. Temps held around zero most of the day, and the point originally only had us reaching -7. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yeah only +1° during the day and 3° for a midnight high today. Wasn't the -4° originally predicted due to the clouds last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migr17 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Milwaukee Public Schools are closed tomorrow. Point has a high of 11. They weren't closed today. I suppose the afternoon snow could have an impact, but I'm baffled along with the local mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Point here has been raised from -18 to -15. Just like last year at the last minute the point would always end up coming up several degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 0 at LAF. -10 seems like a good bet...anything colder than that probably dependent on how much winds can drop off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migr17 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 It all has to do with the low temp tonight/in the morning and the wind chills.Which really won't have a noticeably greater impact than this morning. Combine that with stronger recovery, and I'm surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Not too impressed with this cold outbreak. Sure it's cold, but nothing too special. Temps held around zero most of the day, and the point originally only had us reaching -7. Meh. A year ago I think our wind chill was near -50F in the morning. Today it was near -30. We also reached near zero or even +1 this afternoon. Both last year and this year, the high temp on the coldest day rose about five degrees higher than expected. Also, like last year, there will not be a full night of optimum cooling that allows us to reach extreme temps like back in 2009. Tonight we should bottom out later this evening and then rise after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 -5 on my inaccurate thermometer. I know the upper plains people will laugh at me but -5 is cold as sheetrock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 -6F at 9pm. Forecast low tonight was -2F. Bet we could bottom out at -13F. Happened so many times last winter. Going from -6f to -13f sounds like a huge difference, but its -21c to -25c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 It all has to do with the low temp tonight/in the morning and the wind chills. I have to think some of it has to do with treacherous travel for the afternoon/evening rush. It may be that they just think less people/parents on the roads will help the cause for others, wouldn't be surprised at all if that is the case. Perhaps though they just got a lot of complaints for keeping things in session today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
