Today the Mansfield stake depth is at 93"... breaking the old record of 88" from 1969. The snow has never been deeper than it is today for late-January in the past 65 years. The 12-foot stake is in trouble this winter if this trend continues in February and March. 2001 they put an extension on it and we may be heading that way. Wish I had gotten an epic pass this year, but I had already gotten my "Mission Affordable" Ragged pass (no blackout full season pass for less than 2 days at Stowe) when Vail took over Sunapee. Almost tempting to head up even at day ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Anyone chasing in the tug? Heavy lake effect snow. Dangerously cold wind chills expected. Additional snow accumulations of 3 to 4 feet in the most persistent lake snows. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph. Wind chills as low as 30 below zero expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like mainly a Metro Buffalo event, we've been in the transition zone this year. We should get hit pretty good but the lake is quickly freezing, so not sure how hard we get hit. Here is the map from KBUF. Looks like Philly and WxWatcher are chasing on the tug, we also have 2 posters from there in Redfield and Altmar.

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 850 temps are all well and good (and those are truly impressive) but people live at the surface.

wxeyeNH Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I watched the evening news, ABC and NBC. Showing the maps and talking about the temperatures was very confusing. Real feel temps, wind chill temps and actual temps. The maps were all over the place and half the time the anchors and their weather people were too. I understand the difference but not sure the average person does. Maybe it doesn't make a difference?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianW Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Does anyone know if planes can operate in those temps? Can they take off and land? How could ground crews work in that? I would imagine if not thats going to be a mess with tons of airports closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are records expected to be set where the people are? Even if there are no records those temps and windchills are sick That 850 mb map that Ginx posted is pretty much record territory for Indiana. We are at the mercy of RAOBs being taken only twice a day, so stuff can slip through the cracks so to speak (and there are no RAOB locations in IN) but looking at 3-6 hour reanalysis images of past arctic outbreaks... yeah, -37 basically never happens that far south. Low level lapse rates are pretty steep when those 850 mb temps occur... so while it's very cold at the surface, maybe not as cold as you would think. Tomorrow night is a better radiational cooling setup, but there is a lack of snowcover with southward extent in IN. The overlap of favorable sfc ridge position and deep snowcover is farther northwest... IA/WI/northern IL and maybe northwest IN. Assuming clouds aren't an issue and winds go calm (or nearly calm), there could be some pretty nutty readings in that zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
