UMB WX Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 drip drip drips of melting snow drifts off the roof this AM. Just need the sun to make an appearance now and maybe we can pop in to the 40's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 For all those calling for a change to a more sustained wintry pattern late Jan heading into Feb..... ....better get these guys the memo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 For all those calling for a change to a more sustained wintry pattern late Jan heading into Feb..... ....better get these guys the memo Check Don S's stats on strong MJO waves in the warm phases. Almost every historical case (7 of 8) since 1950 I believe of p4 wave at or above this year's amplitude progressed into phase 7 and 8. Most cases featured the wave being at least at an amplitude of 1 on the RMM plots for at least 14 days, which implies that the ECMWF ensemble should correct toward bringing the wave into phases 7 and 8 and potentially 1 and 2. CFS has gone to this idea. Also, phase 7 composites for January are colder for the east than the trimonthly composites on the CPC website. This doesn't mean anything for snow chances down the road, just that pattern should be going to more persistently colder.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Bottomed out at -9.6F, coldest air of the season imby. Time to get some frostbite working outside today and onto the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Got down to 1 here this morning. Tying our lowest temp of the winter. Looks like a good chance to go below 0 Sunday thru Tuesday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I got down to -3 out here. It's my first below zero reading all winter and it's january 17th. That''s got to be pretty close to a record right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, because our winter climo is so bad, there have actually been 5 winters at MKE since 1870 where the temp never dropped below zero at all.

Edit: Actually just looking at the graphs for Madison, we have never recorder a year with no lows below zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Getting 45mph gusts with the strong CAA. Temp has dropped almost 20 degrees since this morning, back down to 15. Snow has compacted a bit, down to about 4", with a nice crusty top layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Don't do it Hoosier. Don't start to believe you will get enough snow to cover the grass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Don't do it Hoosier. Don't start to believe you will get enough snow to cover the grass Need a halfway decent lake effect event. Even in the worst winters, usually get at least one. As an example, 2011-2012 had a short but intense LES event for NW IN in Feb, for which we issued a Blizzard Warning. 10" of snow in spots in 4-6 hours with 40-50 mph wind gusts.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Indeed Do you have any thoughts on this one? The parameters look ok, and there is a decent amount of omega in the DGZ. Looks like it may tend to hug the shore with time. May be going out on a limb but would not be shocked at a localized 3-6" within a few miles of the shore somewhere in Lake/Porter.

Jim Martin Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Cold front on the way to NW Ohio. Had three inches of snow in Findlay overnight. Also had a glaze of ice. With the rain earlier today, the snow pack is gone. Expecting below zero wind chills here overnight and Sunday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wouldn't be surprised to see a localized 3-6" somewhere near the shore, but more generally should be a 1-3" type thing. These amounts mostly favored in Lake/Porter though possibly clipping Cook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen noticeable differences between my place and the west loop in these set ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
