Brian D Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Light snow moved in late this morning. Looking at a couple inches. Been very zzzz the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Been a pretty solid start to winter here compared to the rest of the sub. 15.5” on the season, 4-5” otg at the moment, thanks to that thread the needle event when I was in CA. We’ve been staying below freezing most days and the nights have been in the low teens. Saw the first few brave anglers stepping out on the ice yesterday. Most of the area lakes are frozen over now but I’d give it a couple more weeks to firm up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 About 3" of fluff fell yesterday, and now another very cold day with highs barely in the teens. Just like back on the 3rd when Duluth had a high of 11 (tied 5th for low max). 1972 -2 1976 8 1886 9 1940 10 1895/1919/77/85/2022 11 Yesterday was in the upper teens, so just a little colder than that. Easterly fetch coming up, so that'll keep temps running a little warmer with the lake, and generally cloudy, unfortunately. Snow, and sun make for really bright days. Really like that. Possible storm next week. But we shall see. NWS Duluth dry humor on the their story board today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I have mentioned this before, but I'm using a 10 yr running avg for the trending. Decadal trending seems to be normative. If you use 5 yrs, you do get a better picture of the ups, and downs we've experienced over time. Some folks like using that to see how variable our weather has been on shorter timescales. If you guys would like to see both, I can do that. Just hit the "Thanks" button if you'd like both. "Like" if you want just the 10 yr. like I have been doing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Dense fog held on for most of the morning, but cleared off nicely this afternoon. Pretty hazy still, kinda looks like it wants to fog back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a good fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Well, the first 10 days of Dec will sneak through without even a trace of snow. The next 10 days looks like maybe a T/<1" stretch. Hopefully the final 11 days of the month come through or we'll have another no-show-snow December 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Another couple inches of wet snow this morning. Looking forward to the bigger totals next week starting Tues night into Thurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps can really dip in that situation just like here in NE MN. Some locations are perfect for big temp drops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Wed looking like sloppy weather with heavy wet snow, and freezing rain mixed in during the day. What will be interesting is the lingering trough into the weekend. Could be a good set up for lake banding. The inland areas of the North Shore should do really well this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Well, if it weren't for the few hours of sunshine on Friday morning, this crappy weekend would have counted as the 5th and 6th consecutive days of no sun. More of the same tomorrow and much of this week before the pattern change is finally ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coldest 3 month stretch of the year averages around December 1 to Feb 28. This shows that for all but a few areas in N lower and E Upper Michigan the coldest 1/4 of the year starts by December 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
