weatherbo Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Cool. Someone actually lives out there!? Made it to 12° today. Beaver Island is actually awesome. it has about 650 year rounder's. it's a 32 mile ferry ride from Charlevoix... they get nailed in sw flow events!

daddylonglegs Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 A little OT, but what I think is an interesting side note to the cold. I have a friend who lives up by the IN/MI state line that loves to ice fish. He has complained for the past couple of years that he couldn't keep long periods of safe ice. This year he quit ice fishing because he's tired of hand auguring holes through 12 - 16" of ice. lol LOL ... can't win i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Down to -1. And another calendar day gets added with a subzero temp. Looks like about -8 tonight, maybe -2 for a high tomorrow, and -13 tomorrow night. Could be colder than that if winds drop off enough. Shouldn't have any clouds to worry about for once.

TugHillMatt Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I got 12 inches of snow at my house today in an 8 hour span from 9 to 5. It was dumping. I love the power of the SW flow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It's pretty brutal out there this morning....we have seen colder this season, but still nasty none the less. I see the thermometer below zero and see the leafless trees waving like they do on a spring day....that says enough for me what it's like outside.

weatherbo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 kinda inneresting: ...a Single Mid-Lake Lake Effect Snow Band... Southwest flow generated a single mid-lake lake effect snow band over Lake Michigan Wednesday Jan 22. This band originated during the early morning hours of Wednesday before finally diminishing during the evening. This lake band enhanced snowfall along the western portions of Beaver Island, which generated 24 inches of snow over a 36 hour period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Not really happy with the way this pic turned out, but I was trying to show the hardpacked drifts in the alley. the snow along the fences ranges from 9-14" deep, but outside of the several powdery inches on top you walk on as if you are on solid ground. Another one of those days today where the bright white snow offsets the dark gray skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Still below 0F here... -2F right now... Interesting in that i'm seeing dripping off the roof of the house with these temps. The drop must be about freezing by the time it hits the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Everyone knows you avoid Indiana interstates at all costs. And that's been for over 40 years. This. Over 20 accidents in Huntington County alone on I 69. INDOT does not know how to keep the interstates clear. However, I drove US 24 between Huntington and Ft. Wayne today and it was clear and dry, so it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW winds starting to churn across Iowa. 012414_343z.jpg That would be a nice break before the big blast Sunday night and beyond. After this next blast coming in I think I'll be good on my cold weather fix til next winter. After this let's change this pattern and get some warmer weather in here with hopefully some big dog action. Down to -8 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 A friend and I went to the Auto Show today, and we actually parked by Comerica Park and took the People Mover, so I got a few urban winter shots of downtown Detroit (albeit with my cell phone). I spent a lot of time near Comerica Park in the summer...has such a different feel during winter. Was brutally cold with just the slightest breeze downtown. And a RARE break in the cloudcover happened just as sunset approached and we were riding the People Mover, it was an almost surreal scene and I really WISHED I had my regular camera instead of using a phone through a train window.
