frostfern Posted January 27, 2024 Share Posted January 27, 2024 Its pothole season. I narrowly avoided a pretty deep one today. I hate how Michigan roads are so fragile. Is it like this everywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted January 28, 2024 Share Posted January 28, 2024 There’s been a band of moderate to heavy rain parked overhead for the last 3 or 4 hours. Too bad it’s not 10 degrees colder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted January 28, 2024 Share Posted January 28, 2024 On 1/26/2024 at 2:50 PM, michsnowfreak said: Over an inch of rain last night brought DTW to over 4.5" of precip in January, the 3rd wettest January on record. That, plus the unusually severe (albeit too brief for my liking) stretch of deep winter are both things I did not see coming in a strong Nino. Toledo is up to 4.22" perhaps on the top-10 list but I'm not sure. On the positive side of things, there's no D1 drought category here anymore. Still hoping for some drought to be busted by El Nino systems in the Southwest, which could be upcoming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted January 28, 2024 Share Posted January 28, 2024 That is the change (dt) not the current conditions. There is still D1 in the Midwest. You can see the map in the link below... Midwest | U.S. Drought Monitor (unl.edu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 28, 2024 Share Posted January 28, 2024 The spread in monthly precipitation across the subforum is impressive. Minneapolis is sitting at 0.13” month to date with nothing on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 28, 2024 Share Posted January 28, 2024 This morning was back & forth between rain and wet snow. I received a slushy 0.2" of snow, but the heaviest amount was right near the airport, complete with slush covered roads at 0.8" at DTW. DTW is now at 4.97" precip and 14.6" snow in January. The wettest January on record is 5.02". I am at 5.00" precip and 14.2" snow in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartman Posted January 29, 2024 Share Posted January 29, 2024 Can't wait for the month to end, though. A couple days of suicide weather as part of the next few days. Definitely reminiscent of January 2020 because that stretch and the current one occurred around the same timeframe (the final third of January).

Spartman Posted January 30, 2024 Share Posted January 30, 2024 Now we wait for Jonathan Erdman to release an article about overcast stretches and records on weather.com soon, like in 2017 and 2020. Especially when his two articles say at the end: "We've also passed what is, on average, the coldest time of the year in most of the country. There may be more cold snaps through February and into March, but the climatological dice for these cold outbreaks more often favors January, rather than February. Your possible sunshine is increasing minute-by-minute through the summer solstice, as the sun's energy gradually becomes more direct. And in just a couple of weeks, pitchers and catchers report for spring training. Now there's something to sweep away January's gloom." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
