Brian D Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Sunny, windy, blowing snow. CAA snow showers around, too. Bye-bye nice weather for a while. BTW, ended up with 3" of snow last night. Powder blows easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Last night's snow across Allegan County, MI had a report of 10" in 6 hours. Nice little band that went through for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 After todays snowfall Minneapolis is up to 55.5” on the season. Extended looks cold and dry, but sometimes on the backside of these arctic highs we see WAA snow. Will be a zzzzz period for sure over the next week. No extreme cold just a typical annual Minnesota cold snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Had a few brief snow showers/flurries this morning, but don't think we had any accum here. If we did it melted before I got home lol. Sitting at 11.0" for the season after Wednesday's snow event. MLI at 10.3" for the season now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 -30's being reported across the Arrowhead region this morning. I-Falls at -34, and Ely at -33. A bitter day on tap as will be the next few before relenting at the end of the week. The cold wx should soften the strong + anoms a little. Been such a nice Jan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 When I drove by this huge snowman, along a main road, this afternoon, I literally lol'd and had to turn around for a pic. Wish I got a better one. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 2 degrees this morning with cloudy skies. Usually we need clearing to get temps this cold.

Hoosier Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Doing some quick calculating, this January looks to finish over 7 degrees above average at ORD and will probably be the 8th or 9th warmest on record. Would've been higher but these last couple days of the month are going to knock it down the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 GRR is over +8 for the month. Still haven't recorded a below normal day for the month. Probably will change today but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 -25 to -30 across the Arrowhead region this morning. Looking at my anomaly chart for Jan, 1880 is the record year at 7.35 (1901-2000 base), so we are going to be rivaling that, I do believe, for our region. Can't wait to see what it ends up being. Datasets are updated throughout the month so it may take that long to get the final result. Prelim data is usually pretty close tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Picked up 0.5" of snow this morning, which brings my January total to 11.6" and the season to date 19.6". Made up quite a bit of ground the last 8 days. DTW will finish January with 11.7" of snow bringing their season to date 19.2". I do think it's cool how so many people made snowmen during the packing snow last week. Every day I stumble across new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 -6 last night. Coop went as low as -2. Tonight's low is forecast at -15. That's getting awful close to the too cold threshold for these particular birds. I've never used a heat source in their coop but am tempted to tonight even tho my gut says don't. All I have is a heat lamp(which'll do the trick)... if I choose to use it I'll stay awake all night to make sure nothing goes awry. If only the wind had a tad more northerly component, I'd have solid cloud cover and be off the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Tonight feels like a major overperformer with cold in the northern parts of the subforum. Especially in the areas of recent snowfall the last few days, and up north where they have 12"+ OTG. Basically no wind, clear skies, and fresh, semi-deep to deep snowpack. You can't have a better combo for radiational cooling and cold air drainage. Black River Falls is already down to -19 and that's the 10pm obs with several hours of CAD to go. Madison is down to -2 with the fresh snowpack around there. There are probably going to be spots breaking -25 tonight in the usual CAD areas.

beavis1729 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Unfortunately, the cold actually underperformed in N IL by roughly 3-5 degrees, likely due to UHI and a bit of unexpected cloud cover. ORD only hit -1, and it was -5 here. -9 in DKB and -11 at RFD. I shouldn’t even need to say this since it should be a given…but, yes, all of these areas have snow cover.

It was clear everywhere until basically sunrise. And I wouldn't say the cold underperformed. We were slightly too cold at RPJ, we had ORD at -1 to -2, and we never had RFD tagging 10 below. We went below MOS guidance. The Euro was overdone with the coverage of teens below zero (and the GEMs are always overdone), but getting 7 sites to -10F or colder in our late AM updated RTP is not really underperforming imo. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=LOT&product=RTP&site=lotSent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean underperformed relative to NWS forecasts - I just mean underperformed relative to what should have happened given the situation and time of year. And, the fact that cloud cover really wasn't an issue makes it even worse. Unfortunately UHI always kills things, even in the suburbs. We just don't radiate well unless there is a very deep snowpack and the high is in an absolutely perfect place...and, even then, it's not always guaranteed. I thought we'd easily hit -8 to -10 imby, but we only dropped to -5. Many people here seem to care about forecasts...and obviously you need to at the NWS. But I only care about outcomes. I'd love nothing more than a forecast of 2" of snow to go horribly wrong, and we end up with 10". After looking into this further, the airmass itself wasn't really that impressive - thicknesses were only around 520. So, my expectations may have been a bit too high for this morning. I just hoped we were set up for an optimal starry night with some crazy temp drops - but it just didn't happen. Our MSN poster had a low of -17, with some -20s nearby...but nothing close to that here. That's what I'm referring to. Dare I bring up the 1/31/2019 debacle at ORD...4 years ago today.
