Been about 8-9 degrees too warm the past several hours. Getting some mood flakes and some blowing and drifting snow with the stronger gusts. Nice to see it looking like January again. They caught the virus from Waukegan apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Pretty amazing to see a decent snow pack all the way down to Louisiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Interesting temperature distribution. I don't recall seeing a spread of nearly 20 degrees from Chi metro to downstate IL/IN (with the colder readings south) during the afternoon too often.

cyclone77 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 We're now more than halfway through met Winter and DVN is sitting at 8.3", and Dubuque at 9.1". Still a long ways to go but Dubuque is gonna need another 30" from here on out to get close to average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Got a surprise 1.0" last night. Snow base now around ~4.0". It'll be gone after this weekend unfortunately. YYZ now up to 5.7" for the month and 21.6" on the season as of yesterday. Average for January is ~12.0". Running well below normal past the midway point of the month.

Chambana Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Snowfall total at the halfway point stands at 9.1”, a normal winter has 23.2”, so right around 2’ of snow to feature a normal winter. Another suzbero reading at CMI (-5) which means 11 of the first 17 days of January have had subzero reading, the month is also running 11 degrees below normal. The winter of 1917-1918 holds the record for the most subzero readings at 24! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 -2 this morning. The 9th subzero temp of Jan, and 13th of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running well below normal past the midway point of the month. 5.7" is only a little below normal month-to-date. But it'll be close to what we finish off with for the month. Next 2 weeks might be a write-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do remain a little optimistic for something between January 24th and 31st. PNA maybe closer to neutral with just enough arctic air across the north for a tight gradient across our region. We'll see. This winter has been a saving grace thanks to LES, haha. February in recent years has been our best wintry month. Question is, will it continue on through this year?

cyclone77 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Our pristine 2" of fresh powder we've had on the ground the past several days is about to go bye-bye. Already up to 29, and probably will outdo the point of 33 degrees. Looks like 35-36 should do it today. 40s the next few days, and then probably into the 50s Sunday night. When the snow pack returns is a big question mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Lost about an inch of snow today. Grass blades are showing through over the whole yard, with some areas of bareness where the snow drifted away. Temp made it to 35 for a high.

hawkeye_wx Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 We are doing well over here today. The low clouds are only crawling northward through southern Iowa, and the high clouds are streaming in over northern Iowa, leaving the central third in bright sunshine. We're currently sitting at 47.

cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I can see the bank of stratus on the southern horizon now. In another hour or so we'll be socked in with a heavy/low overcast. Probably won't see the sun again till Tuesday. 47 degrees here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I got to fly the drone today for the first time in several weeks. After all of the arctic air, it actually felt pretty nice. Overperforming at 43° with a predicted high of 39°. Might be able to tack another couple of degrees on before thick clouds roll in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Could be quite the interesting day around here tomorrow. 3km NAM has the triple point pass right overhead with a low-end severe threat, and then the precip sort of wraps all around us. Not out of the question there could be a period of heavy wet snow by late evening. Both are sort of long shots, but it could certainly happen.

Sort of in a similar situation here, but any severe threat may be waning by the time it gets here. Can't rule out a quick burst of heavier snow.

Can't rule out a quick burst of heavier snow. Euro and GFS are much more favorable for your area, as they are quite a bit further east compared to the NAMs. Would take us out of both threats here.
