Brian D Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 5 hours ago, Brian D said: 2.9" imby with a general 3-6" around the area. Lake band to my N netted 6-9". Still snowing good this morning. Potential for the snow to continue into Sat am. As cold N/NE winds at the surface with E/NE mid levels should create more heavy bands thanks to to the large system to the south. Currently the LP with trough is bringing synoptic snows combined with some lake enhancement, and lake bands are mainly N of me with E mid level flow. Good to see the snow pack build before bitter wx settles in for a short time. Ended with 3.8" imby. Snow has tapered to scattered snow showers. Tomorrow is the next possibility. Bring it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports came in from up the shore around Silver Bay/Finland of up to 15" with snow still falling. Although it was due to taper off up there soon. Probably another 1-2" added to that 15". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluoronium Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I just took a core of my 5" of snowpack. 1.4" liquid equivalent! Snow to liquid ratio of 3.6. This is some of the densest snow I've ever seen. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Have a snow depth of ~12", mostly low ratio cement. The upcoming cold snap will have this glacier hanging around for weeks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Very light snow starting, and a band forming to my E, and moving my way. Come on baby, you can do it! UPDATE: Band moving SW towards Duluth/Superior. DANG! oh well. BTW, here are the totals from the clipper/lake band event from Wed-Thurs. Very much needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 ^Yeah, that lobe of cold air is well into MT now. Cut Bank had a high temp (!) of -25F today...and that was at midnight. PM temps never got above -27F, and it could drop to -45F tonight with wind chills near -65F. Crazy stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get chinooks quite often, so on average most days aren't as cold as one might think given thier latitude/location. But when it gets cold, it can be extreme. This current cold snap is close to all-time record low wind chills...and in Nebraska too. NWS Omaha: Moving on to the bitter cold temperatures, a wind chill warning remains in effect from this evening through midday Tuesday. Wind chill values are forecast to eventually bottom out in the 40 to 50 below zero range Sunday morning. The current wind chill warning that we have in effect will be the longest duration wind chill warning that we`ve ever issued. Actual air temperatures will not likely get above zero Saturday through Monday for most of the area. This would rank the second longest stretch of consecutive days below zero for Omaha, the last most recent occurrence would be December 1983. The record is 4 days in February 1936. For context, the absolute lowest wind chills we`ve ever recorded in our area on -52 in 1983 in Omaha, -53 in 1990 in Norfolk, and -50 in 1983 in Lincoln. So we`re not forecasting record wind chills, but historically it will be close. For actual air temperatures, we could set min maximum temperature records the next three days at Norfolk with the below zero values, and we could set record low minimums at both Lincoln and Norfolk Sunday morning with lows 19 to 20 below zero. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 On 1/7/2024 at 2:10 PM, Brian D said: Still waiting on datasets to report in for the Dec, but in the meantime, I went ahead and worked up my max/min avg map from various stations across the NC US. Haven't done this in quite a while, but with a near record/record Dec, thought it would be a good visual on how awesome a month it was. BTW, I use a dense rank method instead of standard ranking. Personally think it's a better ranking method for temps. Most datasets in, and Dec running 3rd warmest on my chart. This will tweak a little when the remaining report, but should remain 3rd. You can see the max/min rankings in the above quote that I posted earlier. 5 & 10 yr charts shown respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I did something a little different this year, and added a snow season chart. Trending is similar, but different ranking. Here's the 5 & 10 yr trend charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I also have top 5 max temps by decade updated to the end of the year for our region using 20 long period stns starting early-mid 1870's. I actually have split it into W & E (10 each), which I will show in the following posts along with the most extreme daily records. Eventually I will have the other metrics charted (high min, low max, min & precip). I'm using MRCC data, and do this manually, so it takes time.

Brian D Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Here's for the W sub, and the extreme's. The 5+ & 10+ extreme's tend to be more numerous at the higher latitudes as you will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 And for the E sub. Notice that the 1930's are less prominent, and the 1890's a little more so than the W sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me jump sometimes. I have wainscoting along my living room, and during really cold winters, the house will move a little, and the wainscoting will adjust, and pop. Frost heaving to the max.
