About 3" of fluff fell yesterday, and now another very cold day with highs barely in the teens. Just like back on the 3rd when Duluth had a high of 11 (tied 5th for low max).

1972 -2

1976 8

1886 9

1940 10

1895/1919/77/85/2022 11

Yesterday was in the upper teens, so just a little colder than that. Easterly fetch coming up, so that'll keep temps running a little warmer with the lake, and generally cloudy, unfortunately. Snow, and sun make for really bright days. Really like that. Possible storm next week. But we shall see.

NWS Duluth dry humor on the their story board today  

 

Night and day difference down here.  Low 40s and zero snow.

yikes if you like winter, don't look at the new 3 and 4 week CFS.

It'd be nice to get one of these patterns like the one progged for early next week in, say, late April or early May. But of course that is when the winterlike 500mb pattern will set in.

April is our new February.

The only way I'll forgive this cluster #$%@ of a pattern is if we get buried Christmas Week, otherwise I'm giving up on this shitty start to the Winter....

One month down 2 to go I guess.

 

Where the hell is the banter thread!  It's never been needed more sub forum wide.  

this pattern is my perfect winter pattern.

that's quite the warm sector on that pattern changer cyclone. Nice to get in mid December versus Mid January this year.

pattern change from very warm to just modest warm? 

Holy smokes -- and we have legit palm tree weather.

if your model watching a storm 5 -7 days out in early to  mid December in such a changeable  pattern and thinking they are on to something, good luck. At this point, I just look for a consistent storm signal somewhere on the models with an influx of cold and gulf moisture. I'll worry about the track later. It'll probably bury Paducah.

the step down with regular precip  chances setting the stage for a Big Dog  around mid month that will pull in the real cold. Expecting a Cold and White holiday season this year.

not happening.  i just applied my lawn dye to green up my dormant grass for the winter.

looks like shorts weather.



.

Hardly anything below freezing -- even at night -- for at least next 7 days.

Another week of above normal temperatures and no snow.  Each week of this is one week closer to spring.  I knew the cold progged for December would never materialize.

1 hour ago, Chicago Storm said:

it used to mean lengthy periods of cold/dry.

this season it apparently means a day or two of cold with no precip.

I'm ready for hot and humid.

Yikes....palm tree weather continues.  Wake me up when winter is over because apparently we aren't getting it....zzzzz

Just going to miss out on the next snow chance, just some light stuff in the mix for me. SE MN (Twin Cities), and WI get to have fun with this one.

50s and rain for SE WI.  They can have it north of me.

Late November through 1st half of December is the new May.

I shoveled for about 12 hours to clear my driveway and would consider myself in very good shape. The snowblower did not work at all, just too much snow and too wet.

I wonder how many people had cardiac arrest over this.  Scary.

Another dry December coming up.  40s and periods of sun, then periods of clouds.  Backend snowshowers and flurries.

Buffalo is going to get 95% of its winter snowfall this week.  It's all downhill after the next few days.
