The good thing about Seattle is the proximity to the mountains that are snowy no matter the pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 1/8th of a mile here at DTW and dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 1/4" of light rain overnight. Temp has hovered between 33/34 for about 15 hours, and I've lost a 1/2" in snow depth the past 24 hours. The fog is as about as thick as it gets. Nice to see snow chances back in the forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you thinking your depth bottoms out at? Yes it is SO nice to see chances of snow back in the forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 We may actually see more sun than forecasted today. Ground fog is burning off and giving way to blue skies versus lifting into a stratus deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is SO nice to see chances of snow back in the forecast. With the current forecast, I'd be surprised if it goes below 14". Both snow sticks reading 17" with a water content around 4". Pretty squishy right now, but when it freezes up, it's going to be the glacier left in Spring. My peak depth this Winter has been 30". Looks like lots of snow chances before your trip to the area.

Chicago Storm Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Fairly dense fog last night. Vis got down to about 1/16th mile at one spot I was at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 With the fog having mixed out and no stratus development, I'm curious to know if DTW will make a late day run towards 60*F. Toledo's already at 58*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 DTW hit 59, though the record was 65 in 1906. Jan 20-22, 1906 had highs of 64, 65, 62. All still stand as the daily records for those days. Must've felt crazy. Counting down winters return on or about Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I know we've been torching somewhat here of late but I've been watching the temp anomaly's over the last couple of months and am absolutely amazed how far a departure from normal north central Canada has been this winter. Even though it's still "cold", they have to be setting some kind of records up there warmer than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 63 for a high at FWA, missing the record by 3 (66 in 1906).

buckeye Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Last night we were driving back to Columbus from Cleveland. Intermittent heavy down pours and cloud to cloud lightning....and in the 50's close to midnight. The suckage of this winter outside some places in the sub that scored in December, was severely underestimated. I remember all the excited posts back in late summer early fall about the coming nina winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been more like a 90s / early 2000s Nina winter than the late 2000s / early 2010s Nina winters we've become accustomed to. My hope is that the sub-par Winter leads to a nice positive feedback loop as we enter Spring / Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already had a big snowstorm this year and I have had MORE than enough mild and rain days. 90% of the time when I hear people say "cold and dry" I know I will at least have some white with lake effect and clippers.

It's very early however it is par for the course on weather boards. The climatological "dead of winter" is the last 10 days of Jan into the first week of Feb. Detroits midway mark of the snow season is January 25th. The astronomical midpoint of winter is Feb 2nd. And yet. We hear winter postmortems. The south of i80 guys have more gripes thus far, but I will laugh my ass off if come April it is an above normal snow season for many. Michigan has the best shot but it can happen in Ohio or Indiana too. In the la Nina winter of 2007-08, I saw a whopping 78" of snow, but 51" of that came in Feb and Mar. While that's extreme, it does appear Jan is the stinker month in la Ninas more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Weak Nina winters tend to be more problematic toward the Ohio Valley (have seen that play out so far) but there's no guarantee of them being great farther north. Clunkers can happen in any ENSO regime. Agree with Bo's post above...too early for the post mortem and if you're around the Lakes, all it will take is one good stretch between now and the end to make this a pretty average winter, at least on paper.
