michsnowfreak Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It is a complete winter wonderland outside now, about 2.5" of snow on the ground (after accumulating 3.3" of fluffy lake effect/lake enhanced snow the last 2 days), complete with some flocking fluff on the trees...so, after just 5 days of bare ground it looks like winter has quickly returned, and dare I say the extended is looking up in one way or another. Is our quiet period over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes my current Elkhart wind chill of 12 seem balmy. It's ashame those summits aren't 2-3 higher, could you imagine the action. It's always fun when they're under WSW headlines.

Powerball Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 The real strange thing is Toronto hasn't had a real Winter Stom headline (or a real winter storm for that matter) for the last two season, yet Birmingham and even Atlanta are under a Winter Storm Watch for 4-7"+. La Nino/El Nina FTW. I know to SSC that's got to hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I get the feeling later this month into February and March there could be plenty of snow for us. http://www.twisterdata.com/index.php?prog=forecast&model=GFS&grid=3&model_yyyy=2011&model_mm=01&model_dd=07&model_init_hh=18&fhour=372¶meter=SNOWIN&level=SURFACE&unit=none&maximize=n&mode=singlemap&sounding=n&output=image&view=large&archive=false I know that is way out there.

baroclinic_instability Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 This must be one of Louisville's new "experimental" impact WWA Looks like it. The road weather impact is the key in there. They are breaking into something that has been done in private industry for a long time, so it is nice to see the NWS doing "impact based" forecasting more now.

dilly84 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 OT question to the Michigan guys. Not sure if any of you have been to the UP, but I was hoping maybe someone had been to Hancock, MI before. Would love to make the trip up there sometime to see their snow mesuring stick and to witness a storm there. Is it worth the trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to make the trip up there sometime to see their snow mesuring stick and to witness a storm there. Is it worth the trip? I've been up there in Feb. for the snow sculpting festival in Houghton, MI (near Hancock), home of Michigan Tech University. It is gorgeous. Then, travel 10-15 more miles north into the Keweenaw for the really deep snow. There was about 40" on the ground (about 30" in Houghton)...I think this was Feb. 2007 (?).

cyclone77 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Cold and dry around these parts. Even with full sun and no snow cover our temps are having a hard time getting out of the upper teens today. Our dusting of snow last night completely sublimated already, as I figured it would. The moisture content in that snow was very low. May get an inch or two out of the Monday-Tuesday system, but other than that I really don't see much going for the QC anytime soon. The late week system is looking more and more like just a strong cold frontal passage to me for this immediate area. Hopefully we'll get some action in late Jan, or this month will end up a complete dud for the QC. Payback for Dec I guess lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernohio Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 My dad was born up there on the Keewenaw in L'Anse and although I have not been up there for a long time I can attest to its beauty. I would go back up there in a heartbeat, and really am hoping to soon. I wish the radars could pick up the snow coming off the lake easier there, Im sure it would show some impressive banding.

Guru Of Reason Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Once again, this morning we struggled just to get down to zero. This has been a main theme this winter. It's nearly mid-January and our low temp has only been -2. STL has had the same problem for about 11 years now. Hopefully, we can finally break the trend this winter. Parts of metro STL has been in the double digits below zero, but STL itself has only gotten down to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 We got down to 2 above this morning. Didn't even know it was supposed to get that cold. Pretty impressive for not having any snow cover. It probably would have been -10 or lower a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
