January 24 - 31 Cold Blast

Recommended Posts

taking an early look at records for MSN, some of the more attainable ones are:

1/30 Record Low Max -1F

1/31 Record Low -22 F  

1/31 Record Low Max -6F

2/1 Record Low Max -1 F

 

If some of the models pan out then record lows of -26F and -28F on the 29th and 1st seem reachable

Does anybody know where to find maps of snow depth for individual dates?  I am trying to see what the snow depths were like across the region during the other notorious arctic outbreaks.  That would be more convenient than looking up a bunch of cities.

NWS website. Change the date on the left side.

I'm not ready to go all Chicago Storm and predict the coldest temperature on record for Chicago :P, but I really like the odds of them getting into the -20s.  That has only happened 15 times since records began. 

It also appears that there may be a shot at back to back lows of -25 or colder, which has never been observed before.

Gotta go big or go home.

But yea, odds of -20 or colder are getting close to lock status.
