Weather looks incredibly boring for at least the next 7 days..... right in the middle of winter too
Am very pleased with the forecast and even the 16 day outlook from the NCEP GFS runs. They really were spot on with low temps compared to the Euro. The 16 day NCEP GFS runs have temps from 35 to 40F for us after we hit the upper 50's this weekend.
I hope winter is one big sinking Titantic. I remember well the pic Cambium posted in July bragging about how summer was over. Well I sure hope winter is dead till next year, but I am sure it will make some returns before March. I just hope nothing comes close to what we just had.
1. Snowed on the 2nd and 3rd with half foot. Then on the 5th a storm decides to go towards the great lakes which sent warm air into us pushing to near 60F on the morning of the 6th.
2. First the warm air went over top the cold surface and produced this. FOG. Fog loves to eat snow quick. This was night of the 5th, 3 days after the snow.
Then came this .. RAIN.
I have a picture of the melt before the heavy rains. Fog and Warm air was enough to do it alone, then the rain was just the end kill. Surprised piles still left around.
BTW... I went to bed with that fog picture above, and woke up to this below... It took less than 12 hours to completely melt a 5 inch snowpack with those conditions.

dropped to 16°F. Cold is almost over. Anyhow, nearly an inch of rain forecast for early this weekend. Heavy rain almost up to the Canadian border, so only high elevations will be able to keep a snowpack.
All except the piles from when plows came through or where we all shoveled.
15.5" of snow this season I have to figure out the longest snowpack we had. Typically its not long. We finally have a year with cold air and we had that stupid Lake cutter and now another one!
Yeah, we get the coldest air since 1996 and absolutely no snow here. If there is no measurable snow this winter then it would be the first time since 1992-93 season
Euro and GFS at odds 15 days out. Euro keeps the US cold, GFS brings in mild Pacific air
CFSv2 also calling for winter to keep on coming into February
US/Canadian ensembles are calling for an early Spring?
Check out Lake Michigan...It's turned into a sea of ice boulders
