Hoosier Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 I didn't even get below 0 last night. Of course my snowpack situation is even more pathetic than what ORD currently has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 -7 here this morning. Have about 2" on the ground capped with a shiny layer of glaze from the 3-4hrs of freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Snowpack makes a big difference. This morning northern Iowa was 15-25 below. Southern Iowa was near 0. Cedar Rapids hit -9 with a few inches on the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 For Detroit. With a mean temp of 33.5°, Jan 2023 will tie with 1890 & 1990 for 6th warmest jan on record. Technically, 2023 was a fraction colder than each of those, but rounded to a tenth of a degree it ties. It was 3.2° colder than the warmest Jan on record. Total snowfall of 11.7", while a few inches below the current Jan normal, is incredibly an inch ABOVE the longterm avg. Season to date snowfall is 19.2". Last Jan was 27th coldest on record, over 13° colder than this Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardypalmguy Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 So my call was right in late December / early January. Epic torch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 A lot of areas got lucky in January with a top 10 warmest month still managing to produce monthly snowfall amounts anywhere from just a couple inches below average to a couple inches above average. Certainly wouldn't want to roll the dice on that over and over again. One place that stands out is Dayton, OH. Finished +8.1 and had 2" above their average January snowfall. Pretty impressive. That's not Marquette, Michigan or some other far northern location where it's easier to get away with big warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows that it doesn't have to be wal to wall cold, just cold enough at the right time to get snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, Detroit tied for 6th warmest...but the snow ranked 60th snowiest out of 143 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
