Despite no real cold, lakes locally are frozen(a month late), and I've been able to do some fishing on a pond with about 2" of ice. Drastic difference between today and around the same time last year. More like a drastic difference than just 6 weeks ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Weather is BORING!! around here. Oh well. Nice is good, too. Need snow tho lest the frost go to deep and cause lots of issues with septic systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah today was fantastic. MLI set a new record high of 62 today beating the old one of 60. Hit 59 here. Took the opportunity to plant one more tree (willow oak). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Sun today for the first time in a week. We have had 0 precip since the Dec 1 snowstorm, which is very unusual. Usually at least a trace is seen on many if not most days this time of year. This weekends storm will be the first flakes or drops much of northern MI has seen all month.

beavis1729 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Euro showing an extremely cold air mass in western Canada...but it just sits there. These are anomalies in C...some places are 25C (45F) below normal. You'd think this would be a good sign, to see this cold building in Canada...but then the entire US torches...especially beyond Day 7. It's a joke. No pattern is good...it's like the US can't have winter anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but the Euro also depicts the flow going zonal after mid-week and floods us with Pacific air, keeping the cold bottled up. It does hint at a wave crashing ashore at the end of the run. Could it be something to look forward to just in time for Christmas or just another rainer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I'm still furious about the first 10 days of December...and would still be furious even if things got better tomorrow. December is a winter month; it should not be ok to waste it. Sure, maybe January will be ok...but who really cares at this point? What consolation is that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The WAA overperformed yesterday as we lit up a 60°, only three degrees off of the record set back in 1931, which seems like low hanging fruit for Dec. 11th. We picked up about an inch of rain overnight and the front is passing through which will usher in a boring dry period with seasonable temps. Guess I'll have to park in the Covid thread and rant.
