CheeselandSkies Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Well, any of that "above normal" precip isn't coming in the first 7 days around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Currently 59.3 on my inaccurate thermometer. Funny how Mother Nature uses an eraser to clear the slate of snow just before a big dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 The medium range trends would seem to indicate that February will not end up above normal in Michigan/Ontario/New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Low of -9 this morning. Couple more cold days to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 -20 here in town this morning. Looks like some near record/record cold this morning in the Arrowhead. Brimson -40 (2nd), I-Falls -42 (1st), Hibbing -36 (1st). Winds were very calm early this morning, so temps were able to plummet just before sunrise. Brutal, but at least the wind is minimal. Highs today around -5/5, so a nice return there. Seen much worse daily highs this time of year. EDIT: Just seen the postman walk by. Poor guy has a glacier on his beard. Been there a time or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the chart from NWS Duluth. The wind chills they have are from 2-3 mph wind. -45 temps with 5 mph wind is -63. You walk in that cold air, the breeze from just moving in it causes a wind chill like what they have listed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 That is some choice. Stand still, freeze to death. Try walking to stay warm, freeze to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up_north_MI Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 With the Det radar down it’s hard to tell if the snow we’re getting here now in northern St Clair county is from the lake or part of the system snow coming up from the south. We’ve been under 3/4 a mile vis for the past couple hours now with a stiff north east wind. We have a hair over 6” on the ground here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answered my own question, NWS/Det had a little write up about it being lake effect from Huron. Flakes are actually bigger now then any we got yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that happened the side walls started coming down then it really got a major rush of air (O2) and then it blew up high enough for the radar beam to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castaway Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 It’s still there on Radar. It started flaking here nicely in Oak Brook and saw it on radar a bit ago as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the owner of the building so I reached out to make sure he was aware his building had collapsed and was burning to the ground. The tenant is a document storage company, not many employees on site. The owner said he hadn’t heard of any casualties or injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that some cold weather!! I have experience near -30F to -40C a couple time. Of course each time I did play with boiling water in a cup/pan and throw it into the air. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 18Z GFS basically has single digits either side of 0 sitting over WI through the end of the run with only brief respites. Best we can do is mid-20s while 50s push to the ND/SD border just shy of 200 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 LOT talks about the fire causing more snow downwind and plane exhaust from O'Hare doing the same thing also there seems to be a band of weak returns downwind of the Gary IND plant into eastern will county all day SOME OF THESE SHOWERS IN MAINLY DUPAGE COUNTY HAVE APPEARED TO BE SPAWNED FROM AIRCRAFT EXHAUST WITH THE ADDED NUCLEI SUPPORTING SNOW CRYSTAL FORMATION. WE SEE THIS AT TIMES WHEN CLOUDS ARE AT THE COLD END OF THE SUPERCOOLED LIQUID ZONE (-7 TO -11C) AND THAT'S WHAT AMDAR SOUNDINGS ARE INDICATING RIGHT NOW. THESE SNOW SHOWERS HAVE PRODUCED BRIEF MODEST RATES PER SOCIAL MEDIA REPORTS, BUT LAST FOR A VERY QUICK DURATION DUE TO THE RAPID ADVECTION OF THE SHOWERS IN THE NORTH-NORTHEAST FLOW. CANNOT RULE OUT A DUSTING UNDER THESE THOUGH. ALSO OF NOTE, IF LOOKING AT OUR RADAR ONE WILL NOTICE A PLUME EMANATING FROM NORTHWEST DUPAGE COUNTY, AND THAT IS CONCENTRATED SMOKE FROM A FIRE AT A LARGE RECORDS STORAGE FACILITY NEAR BARTLETT, PER REPORTS FROM EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. ANALYZING THE RADAR REFLECTIVITY AND CORRELATION COEFFICIENT, IT IS POSSIBLE SOME OF THIS IS ALSO CREATING NUCLEI FAVORABLE FOR SNOW SHOWERS AS IT RISES INTO THE CLOUD LAYER. THIS LOOKS TO BE OVER SOUTHERN KANE AND NORTHERN KENDALL COUNTIES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
