King James Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Almost in a fog / haze out by me. Looked like a big storm cloud off in the distance and now that it rolled in it feels like it’s on the ground. Hard to explain and not sure if it’s something I’ve experienced before. I’m guessing it’s from the cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Big winner this morning is Cook arpt on the N side of the Iron Range. -33 at 0655 to -38 at 0735. Winds went calm. -20's on the shore to -30's inland. Temps would have been colder except for the wind. Cook is the exception with my spot checking. Tomorrow a.m. should be calm across the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools are required to have so many days in a year. Unless they have an online set up that qualifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacka11 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Tell me I'm not tweaking... I noticed on this mornings dawg walk that climbing planes from O'Hare sounded comparatively hifi. Even from definitely a few thousand feet up you could hear tarmac-style turbine whine, yk that more shrill sound, echoing loudly off of adjacent apartment buildings quite literally the way it sounds in a terminal. I actually had a hard time finding them because the higher frequency sounds making it farther down are ofc coming when the plane is directly above you, which my monkey brain was not computing properly with how loud the sound was. Even with a clear sky, I just wasn't looking for hoes that far up and was therefore surprised when I realized. Ig I'm just shocked that if it's as simple as cold air = denser = transmits delicate high frequency sound waves better, that it makes such a massive difference between say 20° and -9° compared to 20° and 80°. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to put plainly n succinctly, when you have the upper atmosphere sitting on the ground, you don't have the different profiles for the sound waves to pass through.
