Jonger Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Looking forward to a few mood flakes tomorrow morning. Although some models don't even give us that, so I'm hoping we can at least see a few flurries for awhile. Here west of the lakes we don't benefit from lake effect flurries on an otherwise "off day" for weather. Only flakes we see are from passing synoptic crap. LOL. Out of a 90 day DJF, probably flakes fall in 75 of those days here, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 It's 61 degrees here right now. We've hit 60 or better 5 days in a row...everyday since Saturday. I've come to expect occasional warm days here in the winter but this streak is pretty unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Incredible weather outside right now. Sunny, blue skies and 55 degrees. Now I really want spring. Too bad about the day 6-10 cold shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad about the day 6-10 cold shot. It's so beautiful. I was basking in the sunlight. If it's gonna get cold it better snow otherwise GTFO.

michsnowfreak Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 LOL. Out of a 90 day DJF, probably flakes fall in 75 of those days here, Detroit officially saw snow on 20 days in January yet it was a very forgettable month. It's just what you're used to.

BuffaloWeather Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Todays average high at Buffalo is the lowest all year and begins to rise going forward. Todays high was 61, average high for today is 31. 30 degree departures today, impressive. We broke the record by 11 degrees. Insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Record high smashed for Toronto (YYZ) today, 59.9F at 2pm. Previous record was 48.7F set in 1991. Topped out at 56.7F here in Guelph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Just saw that today actually featured the warmest February temperature on record at YYZ (59.9)! Very impressive for this early in the month. Previous warmest February day was Feb 23, 1984 at 58.8F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Toledo was 55 earlier today, this breaks an all-time record of 54, set in 1890. Toledo also has had a peak gust of 39 knots (45mph), so this will likely be one of the strongest wind gusts of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LansingWeather Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 56 here at DTW also breaks the record. Was watching the PWS maps last night, I was stuck at 36 degrees when webberville was 51, and flint was 54. It was so lame, we only managed to hit 43.7 for a few minutes last night.Would have been nice to get into the warm air for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that frontal zone was fairly strong and slow moving which was surprising since there isn't much snow cover if at all in the area between I-96 and M-46.

Chinook Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 January in the Midwest-- how warm was it? In the fall, there were lots runs of the CFSv2 that said warm warm warm (for December, January, and February), for the northern half of the country. It didn't really distinguish between months. January turned out to be much closer to average for a lot of the Midwest than December, with a few bitter cold days in the north country. Chicago had below average temperatures from the 10th to the 21st (all below normal) and all above average for the other days of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Stunner of a day here! 56 here at DTW also breaks the record. Didn't make it out of the 30s over on this side of the LP...and was as dreary and gloomy as can be. It got better when the drizzle changed over to snow late this afternoon. Pretty much my whole yard was able to hold on to snow. Lost A LOT, but still have a couple inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Pretty much normal here; about -0.2° from normal. Snow/ice cover all month helped keep it from getting into positive territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 light snow, down to 12 this morning... 8 degrees above the normal low. 2" of very fluffy snow overnight with just .08 liquid. much different than the foot of heavy wet snow that fell.

josh_4184 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Picked up another 1.5" last night, still snowing right now some massive flakes don't usually see them quite this size and do accumulate fairly quickly but also compress down almost just as fast.

cyclone77 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Saw a few windswept flakes pass by the street lights a little while ago as I took the trash out to the curb. Stars were shining above as this was happening. Maybe I was hallucinating, not sure. Each flake is precious this season, so even a few rogue flurries can set the heart a fluttering like a first date with a new chic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 some stats for January. wow at Munising's 72" for the month. 47" IMBY... close to average I suspect. 12642560_1209343229095566_4518573343244193640_n.jpg Some nice totals there. I thought you guys would have received a little bit more than that. We have been struggling at my location for snow, but the usually snowbelts have been doing decent south of here. Perrysburg received 83" in January. They are still running really below normal and haven't hit 100" for the season yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
