OrdIowPitMsp Posted Saturday at 12:40 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:40 PM Low of 0 this morning in Minneapolis. Was hopeful for our 4th below zero low of the season, but this is still colder then guidance had us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the looks of it I’d say the rare NW Ohio lake effect is in action 8:56pm radar and 8:33 radar/observations last night. It's just a bit of snow moving north to south. However, I think it makes sense to say some enhancement from Port Clinton eastward. I think the cooler air kicked up the real lake effect bands way after midnight around Cleveland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have said they prefer forecasting LES events because it's more straightforward - cold wind blows over warm lake = snow Sorry. I do NOT miss Wayne county winters. Wintry paradise this evening up here. Maybe Monday evening will deliver? SEMI's been known to get some of their best thumps as it's about to warm up. The snow started re-sticking mid afternoon and I picked up another 0.6", so finished with 0.9" on the day. Sitting at 4.9" on the season. DTW had 1.1", season 4.8". I wouldn't miss metro detroit winters if I lived where you do either . Obviously yesterday had everything to do with track/confluence and what not. Have a friend on Long Island whos been dying for snow after several years of almost nothing, so im glad he could score a little snow outta this at our expense. Monday will probably just be another in what has already been multiple light meausurable snowfalls, wont be anything special down here. I'm never ready for a winter warmup, but knowing that one is coming and will be followed by a return to cold right after the New Year I'm really hoping the pattern gets a nice shake up and we are off to the races as we often are in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS DLH issued WS warnings around the Lake shore, and schools here closed. They have a little egg on the face today. I picked up an inch from a lake band that formed later in day that did not stay around for too long. Drier air really cut down on the synoptic precip, and LP tracked too far S. NWS DLH put out a story board on their forecast fail today. I'm sure they got some flack from the communities, especially the schools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted Saturday at 04:23 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:23 PM Very cool mini vortex over the Lake this morning. It has been slowly drifting N as mid level winds are light from the S. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted Sunday at 04:46 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:46 AM 2 hours ago, michsnowfreak said: Longer...and colder -3F here attm. The Clipper held together pretty well for a lot of S and Central Mich. And with the bulk falling over night, it wasn't trashed by traffic and salt trucks so the parking lot piles are unusually pristine white and it's been cold so remain fresh. Not record setting, but so much better than most of our Dec's of late. Despite a couple torchy thaws, all the lakes are ice and snow covered. Not sure about large ones like Houghton but the lakes here I see daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted Sunday at 05:37 AM Share Posted Sunday at 05:37 AM As expected Sat was blue skies and sunny! Just seeing how cold it was going to be was the tip off, whereas WUN had overcast and never caved, even in real time Not many winter solstices are like this. Very cold high of -10C/8F? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted Sunday at 03:32 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:32 PM My coldest December morning (-10F) since December of 2013 downstate. We took the "cold cake" in GRR's CWA. I'm in a low spot down at lake level vs what they show for Harrison. The "hoar frost" was impressive but I wasn't dressed to go out and snag a photo. Quote Clear skies overnight with our recent snow caused temperatures to plummet last night across West Michigan, People across Central Lower saw subzero temps with the cold hollows of Clare County reaching the negative teens! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago 45 here today, MLI hit 48. MLI now 7.3" of snow below average. Should hit double digits in another week or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Well the clipper that passed through today dropped a localized band of 1-3" across the area. Nothing crazy, but combined with the snow from last Thursday, we should have enough of a snowpack to get a White Christmas this year. Unfortunately it's going to all melt later in the week with the incoming 40s, but at least it actually lasted to Christmas and didn't melt right beforehand like previous years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter feels short when December is an extension of November. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
