A-L-E-K Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Sweet. Too bad it didn't wait until this afternoon. That would have been awesome during the Bears game. Bottomed out at -5 here. I think it's around 8-10 here, didn't feel too bad. Finally used to the cold, first day it hits 50 will feel like 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 -3/-27 WC right now. I'm too lazy to look it up, but it's gotta be several years since I've seen a WC value that low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Caught me off guard, didn't look great on radar, band must have been real shallow, but boy did it come down hard for a short period there. Actually had a cross country skier just scoot down my block. Forget nickle and diming, I'm pennying my way to a respectable snow total this winter. Exactly what happened here yesterday. The smallest/tiny band that looked very sick on radar and yet it basically poured snow and respectable flakes to. Ended up with about 1.5 here from yesterdays stuff. Too cold for my taste this morning as it managed to dip down to -11 here a couple of hours ago. May have gotten colder between obs but wont know for a little while. Coldest temp since Jan 2009 i do believe. Already back up to 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the clouds completely got out of here the temperature did plummet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article in the newspaper during emergency preparedness week in 2008 that told of a blizzard in the 1940s that buried houses in snow drifts here.
