beavis1729 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Good stuff Bo. Radiational cooling can be amazing and almost impossible to forecast accurately. 2 or 3 days ago, who would have thought there would be -30 to -40 temps in parts of the UP.

Actually Amasa did indeed hit -40, coldest temp recorded in the UP since 96. Amazing to accomplish in a super Nino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Watertown NY set a monthly record for February low temperature this morning going back to when they started taking records at the airport in 1949. It got down to -37. That is not even close to the New York State record however which was set in none other than Old Forge when it got down to −52 °F / −46 °C February 18, 1979 Buffalo's low temperature of -12f this morning is the coldest temperature in over 30 years. Since January 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since January 1982. Great! That is very surprising. I thought it would have been colder several times in Buffalo since then - perhaps Jan 2014, Jan 2009, dec 2000, feb 1996, Jan 1994, dec 1989, Jan 1985, dec 1983?? Or maybe the relatively warm lake modifies things more than I realize?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Amasa did indeed hit -40, coldest temp recorded in the UP since 96. Amazing to accomplish in a super Nino. not only that but I got this from MQT: The -40F minimum temperature observed in Amasa this morning was the lowest recorded temperature across the United States (including Alaska) for 2/14/16. pretty crazy! Edit: Actually, looks like -40ºF was a tie with the Mount Washington reporting station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watertown gets really cold though, not sure about that location buts its insane cold over there. The coldest New York temp ever was Old Forge at -52 in 1979.

michsnowfreak Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Too bad "Dreaming of a White Valentines Day" is not as catchy as dreaming of a White Christmas. Detroit has had no problem having blankets of snow and cuddle alerts on Valentines Day the last decade. Feb 14th snow depth at DTW since 2006: 2006: 1" 2007: 8" 2008: 4" 2009: 2" 2010: 6" 2011: 9" 2012: 3" 2013: T 2014: 16" 2015: 13" 2016: 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Nice pictures Bo and Josh. I can understand why you don't want to hear your house creak Bo! Those metal roofs with the channels are great for shedding snow. Bottomed out at 0° yesterday and 1° today. High of 19° so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Surprised we made it below zero at Detroit in such an extreme El Nino winter. I feel like I can remember many neutral winters where we never made it below zero.It's also cool seeing the lake influence temps in the UP, a dozen or so miles away from a -35 reading, it's 4 above and several degrees warmer than Detroit some 300 miles to the south.

Jonger Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 My house bottomed out at -10F the other day according to my station history. That's 3 straight winters of double digit negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hotel in Marquette Saturday night never dropped below zero. 20 miles to the east of me, it was -35. I rode through that area a few hours earlier and it was about -20F.

SchaumburgStormer Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Some fantastic hoar frost from the freezing fog this morning on trees in my neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Freezing drizzle for several hours after the snow moved north left things quite slippery throughout the day, & temps never got as warm as projected. Add a dark gray overcast, and the snow didn't budge and any untreated surfaces are still an ice rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had hoar frost on the trees this morning, include that fresh 1.8" snow, and idk something about the hoar frost, and fresh snow, makes a surreal scene, picturesque.

Geos Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Visibility is less than a half mile up here. Working on an inch of snow. Most roads are either slushy or snow covered now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 We only got 1.9 inches of snow on Sunday, on top of the inch we already had on the ground. Late this afternoon all I have left in my yard is an inch. The open areas are mostly bare. There probably won't be more than a few specks of snow left after the late week/weekend warmth and strong wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
