snowstormcanuck Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Some 30 dbz returns showing up on radar back home in Toronto. Looks like it's starting to accumulate per highway cams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 For as mundane as January has been overall (to-date DTW has seen 1.18" precip and 8.6" snow), precipitation has fallen on 23 of 28 days this month, and snow on 19 of the 28 days. The only days without precip were Jan 2, 5, 6, 7, 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hit 45 today, almost felt like early spring out there. Looks like we are ending January on a very warm note, warm weekend on tap, into the 50's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Why does MSP torch more than here! You're supposed to be colder than this area in the winter. It was only 32° here today (now). Warmest all day. It was a fast and furious warmup for sure. Winds started cranking out of the W/SW and the temp soared. I believe Fargo even got a bit warmer than MSP. Melted a large chunk of the snow that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Made it to 40 today. Still some small and dirty piles of ancient crust here and there, but it's mostly a brown and desolate landscape around these parts. Here's sort of a funny story. Today after work I finally decided to pick up all the sticks that broke off the trees from the late Dec sleet/glaze storm. Mostly uneventful, but the funny thing was in many cases the sticks/small branches were stuck into the ground and frozen in. You'd go to pick up the stick, and it would be stuck to the ground, as it had apparently speared into the top soil just enough that when it froze it locked it in. It's amazing how hard it is to pull out a stick that is probably only stuck into the ground an inch or two when the ground is frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people around here seem to leave them up till spring no matter if it's bare or not. At least they stopped turning them on after New Years.

Geos Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Took the rest of my Christmas lights down yesterday. Had to wait until most of the ice melted off the roof to get those ones that hang from the gutters. Made it to 38° this morning with some flurries. Was breezy all day. I've got sticks all over the yard, just like everyone else does. Can't do much with a lot of them since they are buried up to 3" into the ice pack.

Chambana Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I think ever so slightly we are going to squeak out a near normal or very slightly above average month on temps. The warm up This weekend will be to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Here it looks like tomorrow will be the warmest day and then a colder showery day on Sunday. Should end up over -1° this month, but not by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 I changed the thread title to match February's. lol We've had 17 days of at least a trace of snow this month, so the flakes have been flying and you'd think it would be a winter wonderland. However we've only had 7 days with at least an inch on the ground and our greatest depth was 2.5". Here's hoping the next misspelled month will be better.

Eh, I woke up this morning and couldn't stand to see the misspelled thread title, so I changed it back. Hey Hillsdale, to correct February Thread title>Go to the first post>Edit>Use Full Editor>correct spelling error>Submit Modified Post. WAA had temps climbing through the night, up to 37° at 6AM and looks like upper 40's today and lower 50's tomorrow. Think I'll go down to the river near Peru and try to catch some open water crappies below the spillway. Although the weather hasn't been brutal, I need to get outside for awhile.

dmc76 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Can we have back to back days of sunshine? I think we have seen 5 sunny days since early December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Can we have back to back days of sunshine? I think we have seen 5 sunny days since early December.That's probably an accurate number. But I don't mind gray so doesn't bother me. What's crazy is this is my brothers 2nd winter in chicago and it's crazy how many more sunny days they get than here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 ORD at -0.3F for the month. Two days left to poke above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubrett2 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Columbus is currently -1.5F for the month. With today and tomorrow's high in the 50s, and tomorrow's low in the 40s, we should finish about -0.6F for the month. Not too bad IMO. Snow however, 5.4" for the month, which is also the seasonal total, is -3.8" for the month and -9.9" for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 A day like this in the 50's in the dog days of winter are a guilty pleasure. The birds are chirping like its early spring, certainly has the "feel" to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
