Hoosier Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 15 minutes ago, Chambana said: As expected the 2" snowfall is a distant memory, down to just patches as temps have soared to 48 degrees. The days are starting to get longer, sunset is around 530PM. Nothing but above to much above normal temps in my forecast the next 7-10 days. February will not play hero this year. That storm for the 2/16 timeframe for the NE is an absolute monster. 2/6/78 has been showing up as a nalog for a few days. Wasn't this the storm that gave New England like 3' of snow? 2/6/78 is a benchmark storm for them, and I believe it is still the record holder for Boston. Between what happened in the Midwest and eastern US, January-February 1978 was pretty nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Might as well forget about getting sustained snowpack outside of the lake belts. I know, I know, there are always exceptions, but this winter has not proved capable and climo is only becoming more unfriendly, with melting occurring on days that don't even reach freezing.

buckeye Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 my relatives are all from Rhode Island. I remember them calling us out here in Ohio when the blizzard struck in late Jan'78, it was all over the news...... a week later my folks were calling them concerned about their blizzard....If memory serves me right my grandparents picked up close to 4', my grandfather was a barber and he was stranded for days at his shop. Hoosier's right, it's their benchmark. Maybe fate will come in the form of a reverse....our '78 redux a week after theirs this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Made it to 46 today. Snow is toast. 80s all the way up into central KS, with 93 degrees in the northeast TX panhandle. EDIT: Pretty interesting to note that the areas that are in the upper 80s and lower 90s were the ones greatest hit by that ice storm last month lol.

That is something I would look at going forward with the EML extending into our region. Might be a recipe for some major severe weather later on this spring.

Noticed that too, was gorgeous, especially with the moon rising in the East at the same time. Still have some snow but its definitely going by by.

With warm air and strong inversion over the remaining snow, I'm expecting some fog/stratus to go along with the mud tomorrow/tomorrow night.

michsnowfreak Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Had to stop by the mall after work. Lots of large mountains of old snow there. But yet we have bare ground again. I am at almost 34" this winter, I'd be much happier with a foot less of snow on the season if it meant no thaws and complete meltdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Not in our sub, but tomorrow looks even toastier for the southern Plains. HRRR and other models are forecasting mid 90 degree potential in western OK/eastern TX panhandle, and along the Red River area of TX. Euro and especially GFS severely underestimated the warmth there for today. GFS was more than 15 degrees too cool. Tonight's 00z is significantly warmer for tomorrow than last night's 00z was for today, so it'll be interesting to see how hot it can get down there. Maybe 100 is on the table for a few local hot spots? EDIT: Last night's 03z RAP had temps reaching 86-88 over areas that got up to 91-93 today. The new 03z RAP has a max of 94-96 over a large area of north TX/southwest OK for tomorrow. So if it's a few degrees too cool again 100 is definitely not out of the realm of possibility. That would be extremely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been so very long since we had a solid lightning storm here. Maybe that will change this severe weather season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest RGEM also has 8-15cm (3-6"). Will be interesting to see how this evolves over the next few hours but definitely looking like we'll see another 3-4". Temperatures should peak around mid afternoon today and cool down after so precip type shouldn't be a problem with the CAD. Still 50+cm away from the seasonal average, however tomorrows snowfall should hopefully get us above last years total. Lets see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 62 degrees, birds chirping, and a very light breeeze. I could get use to this. Little interesting tidbit about this date the record high is 70 degrees set back in 1999, and the record low is -12 set in 2014, an 82 degree spread.
