cyclone77 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Temp has really dropped off over the last hour. Temp has dropped from around zero to -4 in a short amount of time. Tomorrow night could get real interesting. Models show the high moving right through the area by daybreak Tue morning. Could see some more extreme drop offs in certain drainage sites.

Geos Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Tomorrow morning looks like the real bear. Been steady near 5° for the last 2.5 hours or so here. Yesterday the continental US had 65.0% snow cover, today it dropped to 59.6%. 67.4% on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Bro, if you're taking pics, post 'em! If I get the time tomorrow after my lectures I might take some pictures of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Bro, if you're taking pics, post 'em! You'll have to remind me how. I remember last year I had problems given the pictures were too big - I have a 20 megapixel camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 -18 at IKK (Kankakee) is very impressive for Feb 10! ORD only hit -3 due to UHI. RFD hit -15. Aurora hit -21, even though winds never really dropped below 5 mph. I guess I'd attribute this to deep snow cover, as the antecedent air mass isn't terribly cold.

Seems the Kankakee airport has turned into a mini Aurora. But, yeah...deep snow cover definitely helping things along. Also, that's the 24th sub-zero temp at IKK this winter. Say it all the time...but what a winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Rochelle is like a mini Aurora as well. They were like -23° this morning. Indeed. They actually dropped to -26º at RPJ this morning. That's cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 -13 this morning. Ended up colder than the point of -11. The point for tonight has been lowered again, down to -21. With the center of the high moving right through the area tomorrow I wouldn't be surprised to see some areas make a run at -30 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Made it to 7 above today. Back to 2 already. City is asking residents to run faucets continuously.

Preach on brother! Winter is on its last legs and is always fleeting around here...so let's enjoy every last minute of it. We should see a huge spread for temps in the Chicago metro area tonight...guessing 0 downtown, -10 ORD, -15 most suburbs outside of Cook County, and -20 to -25 in the colder spots like Aurora.

After -26 this morning with a light wind, could make a run at -30 with calm winds tonight. -7 at ARR at the top of the hour. Any possibility that someone can stand out in Rochelle with a thermometer, in case the state record gets close to being broken? I'll gladly volunteer, seriously. I think there were some issues in January 2009, when they erroneously reported a temp of -37 (?). Of course you can't extrapolate it perfectly...but it's currently 16 degrees colder at RPJ vs. this time yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 8º/-10º at LAF today. That's -29/-31 for the max/min departures...and -30 for the day. Wow. 0º at 7:00pm. How low can LAF go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
