cyclone77 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Very impressive with no snow cover. We have about an inch of crust here with a few open spots. Dropped to -3 this morning, now up to 2. Yeah will be interesting to see how much the bare areas recover this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Picked up 0.6" of snowfall this morning. DTW had 0.4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The day time high under performed here. Hit 3° and 3pm. Had an early morning high of 5°, which was close to the predicted high. If there would have been a little more snow otg, I bet it could have failed to reach positive numbers today. Already at 0°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Made it up to -4 IMBY today. Down to -6 now and forecast has -17 overnight. Should be colder tonight with much lighter winds than last night. Furnace is working major OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 This place can be really putrid in the heart of winter... It is quite a bit different than S WI and N IL where we came from. The warm spells aren't as warm and the cold is that much colder here no doubt. Gotta embrace it otherwise you might go mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 -10F for 2 nights now... yesterday we hit a -1F...today showing 2F... tonight should be the coldest ...showing -12F... The snow here is pathetic but it is covering everything still. Its just crust and ice at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 This place can be really putrid in the heart of winter... LOL! Are you right downtown MSP or outside the city? I know not too far out the city temps are a heck of a lot colder (heat island). International Falls is just a whole different level then MSP. l'll be honest. I don't mind these cold winter days. The sun is out all the day. If you have a south facing room with some windows it really warms up nice. Cars work fine if you have a block heater (both of mine do). Plug them into a timer for a few hours and they start like nothing. I get about 60F+ (so if its -10F...the scangauge reads about 50F) when plugged in for 2 hours. Winter has been downright mild around here. I can pretty much count on a couple -20Fs every year ...and we always have at least a couple days or more with negatives for high temps Just a couple years back we had like 40 days with subzero temps. We are at 7 days so far. Heck...we're still just a notch above norm for the month (obviously today will change that). It sucks more then a July heatwave, but not by much (in my opinion).

The warm spells aren't as warm and the cold is that much colder here no doubt. Gotta embrace it otherwise you might go mad. At least you guys see plenty of winter sunshine. Today is the first time in nearly a week that we've seen sunshine, and lake effect clouds may still fill back in by midday. I'll take that trade-off (extreme cold for winter sun) any day.

daddylonglegs Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yeah..does look like snow cover down that way http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/wisc/ Nice lake effect going on across MI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Low was only 9F last night, too much wind and lake effect cloud cover to drop much below that. Temperature is holding relatively steady now at 12F. Picked up about an 1" from squalls last night and another 2" or so this morning. More to come this afternoon.

OHweather Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Think we may pull off a sub-zero with no snow cover tonight here as well. High today won't even hit 15...dews are below zero and we're in a valley with the high nosing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 consolation prize LES prospects looking worse and worse this pattern is brutal This. When your considering staying up late tonight to experience a weak clipper drop 1-3" it really puts into perspective the position we've been in all winter. It hasn't been pretty that's for sure. I'm not completely sold on another rockin February neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowcaine Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 This winter, for Toronto, feels similar to last winter... mild December, cold and dry January... please don't let February 2015 be repeated (soooo cold... and dry). Only difference from last year is that Fall of 2015 was way warmer than Fall of 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
