dmc76 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I thought they looked impressive on radar. None around my parts yet but we've gotten mood flakes off and on. Might get clipped by one of them. We had a few whiteouts since since 4. According to my wife lots of spin outs around Lake Orion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 If the current grid forecast holds true, then February will be -10.5° here. Down to 13° here with gusty winds still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Looking at the numbers today, Detroit is likely to finish at around the 8th or 9th coldest winter and 2nd snowiest snow-year ever. Easily the most severe winter since 1977-78 (ranked #6 on cold and #12 on snow), and I wasn't alive to experience that one. Getting such a high ranking simultaneously on both cold and snow dimensions is pretty amazing. Finishing out with an arctic bang too - the point forecast for the airport for 2/28's low is -8. That point is 7 degrees below the present record for the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The way it would look, today should set a record for min max... Nowdata shows 9F today for the record, and we hit 8F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 We have had off and on flurries today but just a trace. Our snow is frozen solid but no refresher white as all the good squalls are staying north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Drove around a bit today.... At what point do pit holes become sinkhole? Avoided one that was easily feet deep and more feet wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm doing is dodging potholes all day. It's passed the ridiculous point. It's just comical now. Main roads are becoming dirt roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snohio Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 We just got a snow shower in the Toledo area that may have pushed us to record seasonal snowfall. We were tied heading into this evening at 73.1 inches It's now official. Up to 73.5 on the season breaking the record from the 1977-78 winter.

After a few days of non-accumulating flurries, a nice squall came through tonight. Didnt last too long, but dropped a fresh 0.4" of fluffy powder which whitened up the old crusty snowpack. Winds howled during it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Temp down to 5 above. Hasn't been dropping too quickly yet, as clouds have been skirting the area. Point still at -10, but I'm thinking more like -5 at this point. New furnace is humming along nicely. So nice to have after 8 days with nothing but space heaters.

cyclone77 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Thought this was pretty cool for a little perspective. Current look at dews on this side of the planet.

weatherbo Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Beautiful morning! -3 at my house but the beauty of Winter is amazing to me.

Detroit top 5 since 1880 1.) 1880-81: 93.6" 2.) 2013-14: 78.9" and counting 3.) 1925-26: 78.0" 4.) 1981-82: 74.0" 5.) 2007-08: 71.7" Will update the Detroit records thread later.

Geos Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 -2° here for a low. Not as windy as predicted this morning. Wind chills are manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Point had -10, hit -4 here. Still impressive to be below zero a few days before March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Unless there was an intra-hour low this past hour, it looks like ORD didn't go sub-zero this morning. Most guidance was too cool. Light winds and lack of deeper snow cover likely an issue. Might miss out on any records during this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Looks like +1° for ORD and MDW. Winds stayed 9-15 mph all morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 -10F when I woke up... up to 2F now. South wind so we should quickly pick up in temps (showing near 20F today). More sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 9° here right now. Looks like part of the evening will host winds from the S, so it will be interesting to watch the thermometer late in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Really starting to think tomorrow night could be one of the coldest nights this winter, especially outside of the city. DTX already has lows around -10 for a lot of areas outside of the city for tomorrow. The winds will relax considerably and we should clear out overnight leading to some optimal radiation to take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That arctic front that went by last night had some incredible snowfall rates for 15-20 minutes. Visibility was 100-200 feet during peak of it Got a quick clip of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hovering around 11-12° right now. WC around -2°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 High wind and heavy pixie snow. Visibility, the mailbox Winter storm warning til 4 tomorrow. My road has drifted bad already. No plow will be by til tomorrow I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Made it back to 17 this afternoon. Have -3/-11 in the point for tonight/tomorrow night. Probably end up being a few degrees too cold again. Like CS said, lack of fresh snow cover may be making an impact. Have 3-4" here, but it's arctic crust.
