Welcome to the great white north

I've blogged about this before but it is always humbling to see the drastic changes in the atmosphere. Last night we had temperatures in the lower 50s this morning we are near zero! What was the cause of this drastic cold wave? Take a look at 850 mb temperatures this morning Another thing I could not believe last night was how quickly temperatures dropped. In fact, at 8pm the temperature was 31 in South Bend while it was still 50F in Warsaw and 52F in Fort Wayne. Within two hours the temperatures dropped into the 30s in the Fort Wayne area.This morning temperatures are in the single digits with some lows around zero. Temperatures will continue their plunge downward. But it will be a quick drop as temperatures will moderate quickly by tomorrow afternoon.

I will say one thing, it sure was odd to see most ALL of our windows (jack) frosted over this morning.

Makes a good case for double pane glass!

And man, those winds!

You got that right Bobby. My car door was frozen shut this morning and the windows, forget about it. I heard cracking windows as well and was just praying that none of them were going to break! Those winds, up to 58 mph at Fort Wayne International Airport!
Brace yourself for the next storm system.
