chietanen Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Heavy snow here, visibility down to 4 miles, just pouring snow out there! Just ran into Jim Cantore at the local gas station. Seems like slant-sticking. There's no way you got more than 2.7". Come on, after 2 years and 1000 posts, you know I only use whole numbers.

I thought you were more of a "I got like 4,5, maybe 6" out there I see from my window" I spend the summer looking outside my back door estimating depths of those foam peanuts that I pile up on my deck. I am up to an 87% accuracy rate. It keeps me in cold weather mode even during the hot summer days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 As for the streak for me its either going to stop at 6 days or jump to 8 days in a row. Even if it stops at 6 it will be 7 of 8 days or even 8 of 9 days with below 0 lows, rather impressive regardless.I'm at 5 above, looks like the streak ends today.

Juliancolton Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm at 5 above, looks like the streak ends today. I've been at 2.1F for a while now... thought I had it in the bag but it seems like I'll break my streak as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 3 degrees here. I have no streak to keep alive though. I really thought you'd both have no problem getting below zero by midnight. Check out this push of cold air, there is a spot of 0 degree 850's in the Gulf to the west of the Keys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I've been Seahawks'd. Dropped 3 degrees between 9:40 and 10, then just stopped cooling right when it mattered. 1.6F will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I follow the idea of only using the model that gives me the most snow, I did have a thermometer show me at 0 at midnight but it's not a properly sited thermometer and I'm guessing isnt scientifically tested like my Davis is so we toss.

chietanen Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Managed to drop to -5 this morning. A few degrees colder than the surrounding weather stations and I'm typically within a degree (or two) of them. I did see some others in the area in the -4 to -8 range. Hi-res Canadian snow map for the weekend looks good for 4-6", probably more to come after hour 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Got down to 10 below for around 30 minutes this morning at around 630 AM. Storm potential is still on the table for tomorrow afternoon/night. Point & Click is going with 3-7 inches of snow tomorrow/night & 0.1 of ice.

gravitylover Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 FKNA it's cold out there. It was actually -6 when I left my house a little before 6am this morning. I found out over the last week or so that the clutch in my new car doesn't like to be used when it's below ~10*. Today I couldn't even get it into second or third gear, had to wind up first to about 5k and drop it right into fourth. What a terrible thing to have to do to a cold motor and tranny Be careful when you go out this morning, the wind last night moved a lot of snow around and there are drifts across the roads in a lot of places that weren't there before and may catch you unaware. So it looks like we're gonna get some snow tomorrow. I was hoping it would hold off at least until about 8pm so my commute home from work would be easy but it looks like it wants to start mid to late afternoon.

rgwp96 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 At least we don't have to worry about getting fringed with precip for this one . Also we had two of these types off storms and both over performed . Les hope that streak continues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if somebody sees something like 6.5" with this. Ratios should be pretty close to average I think, maybe a bit below, but with PWATs well above climo into the .5" and .6" range, anybody who stays all frozen could do fairly well. I'm not really seeing any sort of freezing rain threat up here. 12.6F, up from -4.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgwp96 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Still at 6 here. Low was -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Since I finished 6 days in a row with below zero temps yesterday I wanted to know how that streak compares to other years. I've been looking at the COOP reports from Walden, which is the closest one to me. In 1994 there was a streak of 5 days in a row with below zero, which ran from 1/31/94-2/4/94, so I've topped 94 as far as a streak of below zeros, next when I get the time over the weekend I'll compare the total number of below zero days.

HeinzGuy Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Wow, that's a pretty impressive cold streak...I only got down to 1 last night with 10 mph winds persisting. GFS looked pretty dry for Saturday into Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
