Brewers Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Once again, a light pressure gradient has allowed decoupling with a 19 degree drop over the last 2 hours. INL is really an amazing place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Next two nights will be colder. Roblin, MB currently -41 C (-42 F) with wind chill -52 C (-62 F). Probably better spots for radiational cooling in n MN with deeper snow packs. Game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably better spots for radiational cooling in n MN with deeper snow packs. Game over. Agree...especially tonight. Potential for the coldest temps in northern MN since January 2009.

Minnesota Meso Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Weather spark is a great site to use for temps. NOAA is what we all use. Met No is the Norwegian Met service and that is the ECMWF depiction of temps etc. You can compare current conditions on the left with model predictions on the right. http://weatherspark.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota Meso Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm quite happy with my forecast. INL busted me by 4° last night, went with -39 for the forecast low it got down to -43, wind chill I went with -48, it got to -49°, busted by 1°. State low temp I nailed at -47°. I went high with the wind chill at -60 state wide to try and win the contest. Oh well it was fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
