weatherbo Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Temp climbed above freezing late yesterday afternoon and it even rained briefly with a rainbow. Went below freezing around 5 this morning and climbed back above for a few hours this afternoon when the sun came out. I know it's late January, but I can def see a noticeable shift in the sun angle. Anyway, snowpack took an appreciable hit yesterday and today... Snow depth down to 25". Return to winter around the corner. Backyard: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Getting locally dense fog forming now in metro Indy area. May be some freezing fog by morning. Had rain most of the day and only cleared out about 3 p.m. ET today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure there has been a January where we had 3 weekends in a row with little to no snow up at our place at Higgins Lake. Definitely not unusual to have a January thaw up there but having 3 weeks going into 4 with such little snow is. I'm betting winter returns up there in the next week or so and continues well into mid to late March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 The ole classic January thaw has been in full swing now for a good week. Today by far has been the best, 49 degrees, full sun, and absolutely no wind! Taking my 2 year old to the park and letting him burn off energy lol. Appears the south could cash in on yet another snowfall this week lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Looks like a DAB this afternoon-tomorrow morning, with a disturbance and LES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Looks like a sneak snow incoming for tonight and tomorrow. Models have been struggling big time with this, but it looks like widespread light snow with pockets of several inches do look likely now. DTX will definitely have to upgrade their 40% chance of snow showers forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider snow cover of 6" or more as something I can actually do something with as far as snowmobiling and cross country skiing, any less then that doesn't do anything for me personally.

I consider snowcover when snow covers the ground. Though yes 6" is a reasonable number for snowmobiling. Haven't had 6" on the ground since Jan 10th.

cyclone77 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 We're about to wrap up January, the 2nd met winter month of the season. DVN has had 0.88" of precip this winter (since Dec 1), and MLI 0.93". Have had 1.03" this winter here. Highlights for Jan for here include the coldest temp of -19 from the 1st, and 57 on the 22nd. Picked up 2.0" of snow this month, and 0.48" of rain. Also a tenth of freezing rain accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Could be a rather snowy morning. Already a few flakes falling and a stiff NE wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Models have really trended much stronger/further north with the upper level wave that'll be traversing the GLs tomorrow. Looks like 1-3/2-4 with the attendant deformation zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 This is like the days before model watching existed. All this concentrationon late week and the few ragged hundredths of qpf for Monday that no one looked at. As late as yesterday afternoon a 40% chance of snow showers was the forecast for today (chance snow showers werent even in the forecast at all until 2 days ago). Wake up to a WWA for 2-4" with dtx talking of overachieving. Surprises ftw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Low of 4F here this morning. Still have a solid 4-5" on the ground, with more in the typical north facing shaded spots. Hoping we can add another inch or two of fresh snow to really usher in the cold air for the super bowl crowd this weekend, and show them what a real winter feels like.
