cyclone77 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Temp still stuck at -8 here. MLI and DVN actually just bumped up a degree with the new obs. Our high temp for the day on Jan 6th was -8, which matches our current temp at midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 3z RAP initialized pretty well and it has widespread -20 to -25 readings in northern Indiana at 12z. Little bit too cold around here. I don't know... Time will tell. Its -14 in NW IN would be off by 5 degrees if we were using VPZ. Only -9 there at 04z. Though -30 would be pretty cool to see... Currently sitting at -11 at the ASOS. The tower we have at the university is showing -10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Perfect calm is always better than low thicknesses but 5-7 mph wind over snow cover, so might expect that some places will do better for their Wed morning low than overnight tonight, even if cirrus is overspreading by dawn. Surface ridge axis for the win on extreme lows, w MN to central IA then into IL-IN but here it's a fight between deeper snow cover and better radiation so the pattern will not continue to hug the ridge line so much. Models probably need a regional heat island escape and regional mixing boost of 3-4 F deg, they are tending to show what lows would have been in 19th century before any large urbanization, there's a secondary mixing effect outside of actual urban heat islands because some of that anomalous warmth has to escape then it mixes into the ambient surroundings. I also feel that deeper snow cover radiates more effectively, so that colder pools form over lake effect snow fields if the air is not moving over the lake that produced them. This is how I managed to get a -41 reading in Jan 76, there was over a foot of snow from previous two days of lake effect, a few nights before over half that snow pack, -35.

Thunder Road Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Down 2 last hour. -13 with 8 mph winds. Back on Friday I took the under on -16.5 and by yesterday I was regretting it, but now it looks like it has a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Finally decoupled a bit ago...-6/-15 last I looked but temps are dropping nicely now. We do radiate well in Athens and have a decent snow cover to boot. Let's see where we end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 No change, Still -9. You have a chance now. We've worked down to -9 here as well. I'm going to go to bed and see how cold it got in the morning. Sunday morning we dropped from 8 at 3AM to -5 for a low, although I doubt that much of a last minute rally is in the cards tonight. We'll see, OU decided it will just be too darn cold to have classes between 5:00PM Monday and 5:00AM Wednesday so I'll be sleeping in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vespasian70 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Make that 4 hours. Yeah, last two hours we have been dropping 5 degrees per hour. Incredible. Record low for Newark today is -21. Looks to be overtaken within the hour. -26 is the all time record low set in 1951. Can we beat it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Heard this on the radio this morning (50,000 megawatt WCCO), if we get a below zero reading on Wednesday and we will, that will make 31 days so far this season with readings below zero, that hasn't happened since 1978-79 when I was 20 yrs old. I guess that makes me a geezer....."where the H did I put that D**n rocking chair!!! I thought that I was the only geezer in the subforum!!! I'm the same age as you, so I also remember '78, '82, etc. (sort of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
