  1. radar shows some snow with very stable air and also some heavy snow bursts by Bloomington
  2. Cross section through the warm front (and temperature inversion) in Missouri
  3. The winds are getting strong in Kansas, leading to blizzard conditions. There has been some brief lightning (thundersnow) in Kansas. There is snow, sleet, and freezing rain in Missouri.
  4. last look at this complex storm system for this evening
  5. just noticed this: ice accrual is now a measurement that's in the METAR
  6. Don't you wish you could time travel to 1940 to see this bomb storm, went from 1011 to 987 and lower 15"-25" for PA to NY State (Susquehanna PA had 22") February 14, 1940
  7. here's some radar from a little earlier (10:12)
  8. want to know something crazy? -63F in Yakutsk Russia
  9. high latitude blocking to start the new year
  10. And then I had to drive 100 miles to go to my family Christmas party! (Not at 6:00AM though.) The end of December precipitation is like a month worth of precipitation. There were lakes in fields on my trip yesterday. Up to 3.32" (not shown) in two spots in NW Ohio over this time frame.
  11. my place just got the warm front fog.
  12. unknown precipitation? must be sleet. You're right. With colder air we would say that this low pressure position would bring a nasty snowstorm in Michigan and the Chicago area. The 850mb temps aren't close, though, really, as you would want a zone of -6C to -10C for the deformation zone and some -4C values for guaranteed snow. I would say that if things were 9degrees C cooler, we'd still manage to get rain right at Toledo, or possibly freezing rain.
  13. yesterday's storm reports list now has a lot more tornadoes and wind reports than I saw yesterday
  14. This storm didn't hit the city. I don't know if it was a tornado
  15. this was apparently by Will (TornadoTRX) in Mississippi earlier (Bude area?)
  16. this looks like a lot of discrete storms, possibly with tornadoes
  17. tomorrow should be a bigger tornado risk. The convection allowing models are showing a lot of discrete storms, in some cases.
