Real nice start to the year. Mild weather, with a mix of cloudy and sunny days. Sunny weather is real bright with the snow. Need sunglasses just see when outside. Heating bill is lower, too. Winter Part II coming soon to a town near you. Will it be yours???
-
Ok guys, Holiday forecasts 2021 is up now. Let's post there for the new year.
-
Now Valentine's Day, (and the day prior, 13th) I am expecting stormy weather. Something to watch for weather lovers.
-
For Groundhog's Day, I see a similar set up as MLK Day. I am looking for stormy weather in the days prior, so watch for that.
-
MLK Day Jan 18, 2021 looks pretty fair and colder with maybe some frontal activity in the most eastern part of our area.
-
A new Holiday forecast thread for the upcoming year, 2021. Post your own thoughts and forecasts and lets see how they do.
-
Well, I was close on the map. I saw low pressure affecting the eastern/southern Lakes. The evolution to this day was off in my comments tho.
-
What do you call the this next one on New Years day.... Chipolte Express?
-
Ended up with 6-8" here, with 4-6" south and west of me. Powder snow. Have a good snow cover to help against the cold.
-
3-6" for my location with this system. Snow will be starting here soon. Enjoy your snow the next few days everyone
-
My own modelling is showing low pressure moving E to NE with it over the C Lakes by New Years Eve, and New Years Day, (in my holiday forecast thread) I show high pressure over the upper Midwest with low pressure over the E Lakes, which I posted 2 months ago. I had thought it could be a clipper sinking in over the plains, back then, moving east, but looks like a CO low set up. A secondary low moving up from the south over the east lakes wasn't on my radar for the 1st, but sneaky things do happen
-
A SSW event for the N Hemisphere is forecast to start sometime in Jan. This will have a big impact somewhere. My outlook for this winter (in the holiday forecast thread I made), I mention the colder weather, with some some milder temps mixed in for Jan, with what looks to be very cold weather for late Jan into Feb, with Feb looking pretty cold. https://watchers.news/2020/12/23/major-sudden-stratospheric-warming-january-2021/

Well, here we go again Upper Midwesterners. The potential for another strong hit. Post your thoughts and model runs in the coming days.
-
Low of -8 this morning with wind chills -20. First brutal cold wave of the season. Next snow chance will bring light-mod snows with the Lake involved on Sun. Then Wed could be another dump for the Upper Midwest with the Lake involved heavily. With the bitter air around, we get it good on a E/NE wind with low pressure, and warmer waters.
-
6-8" is about what I expected when the storm wound down, and so the reports are around that. Grand Marais well up the shore near the border ended with almost a foot, and winds hit 70mph. Big tree was felled over Hwy 61. Good wind maker of a storm, lacking in the snow dept tho for my town. Next up is in about a week with some Lake effect on tap with the next wave for the area here.
-
2020 was a year of extremes in not only weather, but in many other ways. I think we adapt so quickly to stuff now, that in the end, it seems like nothing, when in fact it was something. The west coast could drop in the sea, and we would aghast for a week or two, then back to whatever we were doing before, even complaining how boring it is.
-
Heavy band of snow is migrating east over the Lake. It's not snowing as hard as it was earlier. No early snow reports yet, but they did get 4-6" up near the border from last night's and this mornings snow bands that made their way up there at the start. Look's like the slow wind down is starting as the low heads NE into the W UP MI. I say 6-8" by morning will be a common number around here
-
Dang. Wind gusts are starting to near or exceed 50mph up this way too at some locales.
-
NWS issued a blizzard warning for us. It really bad out there right now. My wife came back from our son's place just a 1/2 mile away, and she had a dickens of a time seeing anything.
-
It continues to get heavier. I can see a block now. Less on the gusts. EDIT: added pic and BTW, back in the mid 90's, we had a storm with such heavy snow with wind like this, that I was unable to see that gray house across the street. That's a snowstorm!!
-
Ore docks disappearing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD17hw6v4-8
-
Band of heavier snow now right along the coastline of the Lake. Starting to see it effects here with moderate snowfall.
-
Tried my digital camera for the first time. I only have flip phone( nothing else needed) so that's the way that is. Not too bad yet, snow is still moderately light.
-
Shot from the TH boat launch with ore docks in the background. EDIT: that ship in the background at the docks(white next to the dock there) is now pulling out to leave. Brave captain or dumb?
-
Radar returns are pretty healthy between the Iron Range and the Lake. Snowing pretty good. Still light here, tho, with 20-30mph winds. Few hrs of fun obs in store.
