Spartman Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Looks like we're fixing for the cloudiest stretch of the season this week, lasting at least a week, just like during the final third of last January. January 1992 certainly had one of the cloudiest starts to the month in history. Come on, 2nd half of January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purduewx80 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 They’re showing up on the terminal Doppler radars. Pretty clear they’re smokestack/industrial-effect given the point plumes. You can see this on the early AM vis sat too where plumes are creating locally deeper clouds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 excellent, actually has gotten relatively dark under a few of the plumes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Went for a drive in the area and snapped this pic yesterday. Would've been nice if the small lake was frozen but without any sustained cold, that ain't happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Looks like I woke up on Mt Washington this morning. Hoar frost of up to an inch grew on everything, even icicles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we had a sunny clear day like that was Dec 18 and before that Dec 6 lol. Terrible climo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 This stagnant/blocky pattern we're in with extensive snow/glacier cover is why I'm at times loathe to advertise those warm color AN probs CPC graphics this time of year. With no synoptic system to shake things up with a warm sector to melt some of the snow/ice, can easily lean colder highs and milder lows than much of the guidance is showing. These patterns give the MOS fits because the 850/925 mb temps would favor generally AN temps... if we had no snow cover and sun. Because of the warmer mins, we'll average above normal for average temps during this stretch, but I don't think anyone but Beavis would confuse this with warm. After current round of fog and hoar frost and spotty low level snow showers improves behind the cold front tonight, looking at another good setup for these conditions to return Tuesday evening into Wednesday, which might not really clear out until Saturday given little change in the pattern. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to more hoar frost. This stuff is baller and by far the most impressive I have seen in a long time 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 It's come to this. Do we post the hoar frost event in a thread by itself or in the short term winter thread? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purduewx80 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 It really was incredible out in Aurora. South-facing surfaces collected the most due to the light S/SW breeze today. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Been an eventful last 5 days here, between the 1/4” of ice on New Year’s Day, the overperformer on Saturday, and hoar frost/freezing fog all day today. Fun stretch, that’s for sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 My hoar frost is at about 1.5 on a scale of 1-10. Enjoying the pics though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIstorm97 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 No hoar frost, snow pack is effectively down to piles, ground isn’t even frozen. Tough scene around these parts as we head into 10 days of zzzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I can't remember hoar frost maintaining this long around here. Some of it blew off, but I'd say 75% or so remains. Was up by Clinton earlier and it was even better than here. Looked like 1.5"+ growth up there vs around 1" here. Should have dug my camera out today and took pics. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Those are neat pics. We rarely get hoarfrost. The only times I can remember astounding scenes like those pictured here were February 2, 2005 and February 12, 2014. Pics from 2-12-14 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
