I think it was 0.01" of "snow grains" combined with drizzle here. The garbage that falls from the most uniformly bland and dreary shallow low gray stratus deck.

I remember you mentioned you work outside. Tough sledding. When I was younger, I worked outside jobs as well. This stuff is harsh. The wind is brutal. Yep im a Geologist/Environmental Scientist for a large engineering and testing firm in the cities. Outside collecting and analyzing samples at job sites most days. I travel all over the state. I’m pleasantly surprised how well I’ve acclimated to negative temperatures. Still Brrrrr. Clipper train here over the weekend. First two look like dust but the third might be more impactful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 With the upcoming cold wave(s), ice over the lakes should really increase quickly. This is today's update from the Canadian Ice Service. LES will slowly shutdown as more ice builds, and lake temps get colder. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Lows -teens near the lake to upper -20's inland. Pressure very high in the 30.50's. If winds were dead calm, temps would be much lower, but there is a little breeze out there this morning. With a series of clippers moving through the next few days, temps will be near normal.

sbnwx85 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Got about an inch from lake-effect overnight. It's surprising we're only an inch below normal for the month, so far. However, we are way below average for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Already at the point forecast low of -6 here. Looks like we may have a shot at beating our previous coldest temp of the season tonight which is -10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 You can tell this NWS forecaster has been in the Michigan area for a while. On the other side of today`s forecast challenge, to the southeast of Grand Haven and Big Rapids, we are going increasingly sunny through the day. It can be an occupational hazard to go optimistic with sun in January when we are socked in with clouds early in the morning, but there are some reasonably large holes in the clouds opening up on satellite, and some of the clouds are already thin enough to see the moon through. Weak subsidence due to the high/ridging today should continue to erode the cloud cover, while increasing south winds will make an attempt to bring that drier and cloud-free air in northern Indiana/Ohio our way.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Return flow on the backside of the high kept us from really dropping off last night. Only got down to -8. Clipper train starts this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 The seasonal total of 6.6" at ORD through 1/20 is the 3rd lowest in the past 30 years, only ahead of 2012-13 (1.3" then... yikes) and 2001-02 (4.7") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 A rare sunny day in these parts before a clipper brings 2-3" of snow overnight and in the morning. Not a big fan of below zero cold (-13 this morning) and lack of significant storms, but this type of pattern will at least keep snow showers in the forecast with an inch or two falling everyday probably. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
