DocATL Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Kind of nice to have a little over an inch on grass and homes and nothing on roads, driveways, and sidewalks.Ideal in some ways. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Picked up a T here and at MLI/DVN. Not sure what the records are for least snowy February but MLI will probably be in the top 5 with their 0.6" lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Snowed for several hours at ORD on Friday evening, with a solid period of borderline SN and a burst of +SN.Final event snowfall total of 1.2” at ORD, 2.2” at MDW, and 1.0” at RFD.2.0” at home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Measured 2.2” in my backyard. Impressive event for such a Spring-like stretch we’re in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Came up to a cabin in the Grayling area for a long weekend. As has been discussed to death, depressing to see brown ground state wide on the drive up. Hardly any snow but fortunately still a good frozen 3-5" here in the woods. In town its patchy. Looks like a trace at home overnight. Random fact- between having many good stretches at home and my annual "up north" winter trip, I have not had a winter where I have not seen snow depth in double digits since probably 2003-04 (started the annual north trips in 2007). This year, the deepest snow I have seen was 7" at home in January. Unless mother mature has a March trick up her sleeve lol. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Near 70 tomorrow, and maybe mid 70s on Tue which will both be new record highs. Looks like much of the sub will return to the 70s next weekend. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim from Springfield (IL) Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Just saw in today's St. Louis Post Dispatch that Fox 2 in STL is predicting 80 degrees for high in the St. Louis area on Tuesday. I am going to go on a limb and predict that at least one point in the immediate St. Louis area will not only surpass 80 on Tuesday, but have at least a 90 degree heat index for a time as well. On Feb. 27. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Feb. 27.There’s essentially no chance at a heat index that high, with relatively low dew points expected. (DP’s will be high by Feb standards, but low for getting a 90°+ HI.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 The all-time Feb high at MLI is 74, and the all-time meteorological winter record high is 75. Both of those will probably be tied or broken tomorrow. Many other sites in the DVN cwa will see the same as their records are attainable as well. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 a little Madison record watch post. Today's record high of 61 will almost certainly be broken. Tomorrow's record high of 58 will definitely be broken. the record warm low of 38 tomorrow is also at risk. tomorrows temp will also make a run at the Feb overall record of 68 set back in 2017. (68 is also the winter record temp, set both in Feb 2017 and Dec 2021.) We should easily slot into the 2nd warmest winter on record - behind 1877/78. February will slot somewhere in the top 3 warmest, really depends on how the daily numbers go the next couple days to see where exactly it will fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Prolific, long-lasting warmth. The mean of the preceding 6 months at MSP is 2.2F warmer than any prior year of record over the same period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 At International Falls, limiting the analysis only to years with data for all months (of course), 2023-2024 is 1F warmer than 1920-1921 & 3.3F warmer than 1997-1998. Most of the early years in this list are missing multiple cold season months - i.e., the 33.0F in 1926-1927 is the mean of the fall only and is 0.6F colder than the mean of fall and winter this year.

DocATL Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 12z mesoscale models a mixed bag for Chicago area on Wednesday. Any thoughts? I guess it depends on how much moisture to work with once we get cold enough.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ontario went from 40F and rain to -5F to 5F in 12 hours We've had some 30-40 drops but dont think any 50+. Kansas city with almost a 60 degree drop coming. Hasn't happened since 1911, per Mike Seidel. Still laughing at that hurricane footage of seidel acting like he's about to be blown away by the winds, while people walk casually in the background.
