cyclone77 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The Davis recorded 1046.9mb a few hrs ago. Think that's the highest pressure I've seen on it. The slow decent has begun though, and have since dropped to 1045mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 -5 for a high today, just absolutely incredible. Dropped down to -15 this morning, breaking the record of -13 back in 1968. The windchill was -34 this morning. His cold wave is absolutely rivaling 2014. The longevity is impressive, have negatives for a low until Sunday.

Jackstraw Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Our high was -1 today.... at 1am lol. Never broke -3 here and we're already back down to -6. Can we push -20 around pre-dawn? Winds need to calm some. We're at 1041mb and rising so shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It kind of sucks we don't have the same potential for lows on this side if Lake Michigan, but at least we get snow and snow preserving clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Right now the dewpoint is -21, it's -16, and the snow crunches beneath your feet. You gotta love the extremes we experience from season to season here in the MW. In July a dew pushing 80 at this time of the night wouldn't be out of the question. Precip wise the weather has been kind of disappointing the past few months, but weather always seems to find other ways to remain quite interesting. It's truly amazing, and fascinating to see how much the weather can change from one extreme to the other over the course of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 GOES-16 meso over Chicago shows the ice on Lake Michigan slowly floating away from the western shore this morning. If you look closely you can see the eastern edges of the ice melt as it goes further out into the lake, particularly east of the WI/IL border. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/exper/?parms=meso-meso2-02-96-0-100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Gonna have to keep an eye on that band of snow rolling south out of the upper MW. HRRR is pretty consistent in maintaining it all the way to central MO/central IL by later tonight. Looks like it could be a quick hitting burst of moderate to perhaps heavy snow that could lay down a quick half inch to an inch of fluff. Fargo went down to 1/4 mile in heavy snow a short while ago.

hawkeye_wx Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I picked up a quick 0.4" from the narrow band of snow along the front late this evening. The temp is up to 13 degrees.... feels nice compared to the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 After watching the band of snow progress from North Dakota earlier today it crapped the bed on the back doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Its bad when its gets to the point you have to set your alarm for 1am to catch a decaying sliverband of snow in to dry af air to get your deprived snow fix. Go figure - it produced 20 mins of my best dendrites this winter. Making progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Lol, well it’s a nice little snowfall here this morning. I like wintry appeal, small or big. And I don’t get wrapped up in LOT’s forecasts...especially 4-5 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 That "squall line" like band of snow yesterday evening produced 0.3" here, and as others have mentioned some of the best dendrites all winter. Continued to flurry with the occasional burst of light snow until around 11pm last night. Now it's back to clear, cold and dry after torching up to 14 yesterday.

Geoboy645 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The little squall band from last night gave my backyard about .5" or so. Enough to make me have to go out and shovel before school. That band was like a squall line because as soon as it got to my area it died,just like normal squalls in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, back in '94 the UP and NMI managed all of that list, and a ton of LES, so the lake wasn't ice, and it didn't stop THAT brutal stuff!

It could have been a blizzard of '77 remake. lol Per the NWS story, not only had it frozen over record early, but somehow had by their estimate 3 foot of snow on top of the ice, which blew into BUF and was more responsible for the massive drifts vs the estimated ~7" of new snow. Still scratching my head on how that much snow accumulated post freeze-up in an otherwise dry winter like we've had so far. But, I don't make history, just report it..

Chambana Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Man the south has been killing it this year, seeing snow reports out of the south, Knightsville, SC has recorded 5” of already, not to mention some of these same areas got slammed back in December with 8-12” of snow. If this janury thaw thaw comes to fruition like JB and others have been talking, yikes. All depends on the MJO. January also happens to be our driest month the year.

Chambana Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Found out another interesting stat for KCMI. The temperature has reached -13 or lower 83 times during the period of records being kept (1888-2018), 15 of them prior to 1900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Light snow fell all day today. Grinded out 0.7" to freshen and glisten up the snowpack as the next arctic hammer drops. I am at 24.0" on the season now and the snow depth is still hovering around 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Down to -3. Looks like we'll have lows well below zero through at least Sat morning. That will make 8 days in a row of subzero temps, and 10 of the previous 12 days below zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
