Jackstraw Posted Sunday at 05:50 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:50 PM For posterity. Nearly the entire sub covered in snow. at once. That doesn't happen very often, at least not lately. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted Sunday at 06:05 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:05 PM Picked up 1.5” from the lake. Still getting occasional snow showers but it’s compacting faster than it can accumulate. 4” snow depth. Savoring it before the torch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartman Posted Sunday at 08:39 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:39 PM Dropped down to -2 this morning, the lowest temp of this season so far. Hasn't been our month for a lot of sun so far, but today happens to be the sunniest day of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted yesterday at 04:07 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:07 AM 49 minutes ago, Chambana said: Already down to -12 here Right under the center of the high, it looks like. Assuming it stays above -14 before midnight, Champaign had a 1/-14 high/low today, which is a -36.5F departure from the 1991-2020 normal of 37/23. The -14 low is the coldest temp on record for so early in the season, and records go back more than 130 years. Until today, there were only 2 days in history with a -10 or colder temp on or before December 14th: 12/10/1917: -10 12/11/1917: -12 https://stateclimatologist.web.illinois.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/weather-almanac-2025_Dec.pdf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago 1.5" today and the 19th straight day below freezing. That streak is scheduled to end tomorrow just as my snowpack is looking the best so far. Expecting to loose/settle a lot of it by Thursday evening when the cold shot makes it way back in here. Been a great stretch really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago 12 hours ago, TheClimateChanger said: Ice is generally new/thin which would be typical this time of year. The warmer temps with gusty winds this week will knock it back pretty good as much of the detected ice is lower in concentrations across the Lakes. With such a cold start this year, the potential exists for a higher ice year with larger areas of thicker ice. Something we need to help the natural ecosystem. It actually helps to knock back some invasive species. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago First half of December was very impressive in its persistence of cold. Southern Michigan seemed the most impressive record-wise in terms of all-time placement, but widespread temp departures of -10F to -13F encompassed the sub. Flint: 3rd coldest in 105 years Ann Arbor: 4th coldest in 145 years Detroit: 5th coldest in 152 years Grand Rapids: 5th coldest in 133 years Green Bay: 6th coldest in 140 years Toledo: 7th coldest in 153 years Cleveland: 8th coldest in 155 years Pittsburgh: 8th coldest in 151 years Lansing: 12th coldest in 163 years Chicago: 13th coldest in 154 years Milwaukee: 13th coldest in 155 years For Detroit, going back to 1906 (as far as I have records), 2025 is officially only the 2nd December to have 1”+ snowcover every day for the first half of December. The only other time was 1910. To be fair, we should include 1974, as a massive snowstorm hit on Dec 1st but the snow depth at 7am was just a T. Even then, only 1910, 1974, and 2025 were nonstop blanketed in snow the entire first half of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
