-17º at LAF is 38º below the normal min temp for February 11. Home run.

 

BTW, the WL COOP record min for today is -13º set in 1982.

 

 

-17 is the 2nd coldest February low temperature at the Purdue airport.  Been over 30 years since it's been this cold in February.

Climbing very fast here now...sitting at -2.2F... so 5F gain in less then an hour... should be well above 0F by lunch time.  Actually 1F on the bluff already, but they are always warmer on nites like these (cold air drainage)...

 

Same here. Already at the predicted high. Could end up being 13° or so for the high.

 

You are on the backside of the high now.

Looks like we torch for 3-5 days and then back into the cold. Pattern looks active too. I did my last good local ride 2 days ago, I don't expect the snow to be as nice by the following weekend and I'm in the UP this weekend.

This is my last weekend of events in southern MI.  Starting next weekend I begin the Petoskey (Boyne trips).  Snow becomes to iffy in around these parts for solid plans in the E/Feb into March as these 3-5 day meltdowns are basically normal in these parts!

Geos-

 

Up and away!  I've got 8F now...so almost +25 from the low this morning.  Feb sunshine, some light south winds doing the dirty work. 

 

I will say one thing, I do love all the blue skies and sunshine.  That will be missed with this pattern change.  The NWS has snow chance every day through Monday, but mild temps.

The blue skies and sun are nice.  It was cloudy here all day yesterday (and night).  Finally cleared out a couple hours ago!!

Probably won't be completely snow-free until late March, but that all hinges on how the pattern transpires after the 5 day torch, it looks very quasi-zonal. Its never easy to find a pattern after day 10.

It is hard to ignore the seasonal trend.   

 

Beginning of Dec 2013 had a 5 days of warmth then the cold pattern.

Next Mid-January had the 4 days of warmth and then cold pattern.

Now End/Feb will have 3-5 days of warmth and ????

 

While I don't expect a significant cold pattern and still believe we have some solid winter ahead as we go into March.

Welcome.

 

What part of the region are you from?

 

----

 

UHI areas in the mid to upper teens now. Other areas lower teens. 40° temperature rise at Rochelle so far!

Located near Gurnee, IL.  Been a very miserable, uncomfortable winter.

Ok. Gurnee is only 15 minutes away from my location. 

 

Yeah it has especially since early January. December was more tolerable for me.

Just hope this spring is at least average.  None of that spring 2013 garbage.
