...RECORD LOW LEVEL ON LAKES MICHIGAN-HURON IN JANUARY...
INCREASED EVAPORATION DUE TO VERY WARM LAKE WATERS AND A LACK OF
SIGNIFICANT WINTER ICE HAS RESULTED IN WELL BELOW NORMAL GREAT LAKES
WATER LEVELS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. IN COMBINATION WITH DROUGHT
THAT PLAGUED THE LOWER LAKES THROUGH MUCH OF 2012...THE WATER LEVEL
ON LAKES MICHIGAN-HURON THAT DROPPED 1 TO 2 INCHES BELOW THE
PREVIOUS RECORD LOW LEVEL IN NOVEMBER REMAINED AT RECORD LOW LEVELS
IN JANUARY 2013. THE JANUARY STAGE NEAR 576 FEET/175.6 METERS
AVERAGED ABOUT 28 INCHES BELOW THE LONG-TERM NORMAL. AS IS TYPICAL
IN JANUARY...LAKE SUPERIOR WATER LEVELS FELL SLOWLY...REMAINING
ABOUT 15 INCHES BELOW NORMAL.
A WEEK OF INTENSE COLD DURING THE SECOND HALF OF JANUARY RESULTED
IN SIGNIFICANT ICE BUILDUP ON THE BAY OF GREEN BAY BY LATE MONTH.
ICE FORMATION ON LAKE SUPERIOR WAS LIMITED TO THE NEARSHORE
AREAS...MAINLY OFF THE WEST COAST OF UPPER MICHIGAN AND IN THE MORE
SHELTERED BAYS ELSEWHERE.

JANUARY WEATHER SUMMARY
MORE TO COME LATER.
FEBRUARY FORECAST
THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER (CPC) IS FORECASTING AN EQUAL CHANCE
OF AN ABOVE AND BELOW NORMAL MONTHLY AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AND MONTHLY
PRECIPITATION OVER ALL OF UPPER MICHIGAN IN FEBRUARY 2013.
FEBRUARY CLIMATOLOGY
ALTHOUGH DAYLIGHT LENGTHENS NOTICEABLY DURING FEBRUARY (580 MINUTES
OF POSSIBLE SUNSHINE ON 2/1 TO 664 MINUTES ON 2/28)...WINTER USUALLY
MAINTAINS ITS ICY GRIP ON UPPER MICHIGAN DURING THE MONTH. IN
FACT...THE LOWEST TEMPERATURE DURING THE YEAR OFTEN OCCURS IN THE
SECOND MONTH. HUMBOLDT IN MARQUETTE COUNTY OBSERVED A FRIGID -49 LOW
ON THE MORNING OF 2/10/1899...THE LOWEST READING EVER RECORDED IN
UPPER MICHIGAN. THE FREQUENT ARRIVAL OF ARCTIC AIRMASSES CAN STILL
CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO PLUNGE AS LOW AS 25 TO 35 BELOW ZERO EVEN
DURING THE LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH. THE COLDEST FEBRUARIES IN RECENT
MEMORY WERE IN 2003 AND 1994...WHEN TEMPERATURES ACROSS UPPER
MICHIGAN AVERAGED 6 TO 9 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. DURING FEBRUARY
1994...THE MEAN TEMPERATURE AT IRONWOOD WAS A BRUTAL 6.5 DEGREES.
BUT THAT WAS WARM COMPARED TO FEBRUARY 1936...WHEN IRONWOOD`S
AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WAS -0.5 DEGREES. FEBRUARY 2003 RANKS AS THE
COLDEST AT MICHIGAN TECH UNIVERSITY (AVERAGE TEMPERATURE 8.7
DEGREES) AND IN THE TOP FIVE COLDEST AT MUNISING...THE MARQUETTE
NWS...AND IRON MOUNTAIN. MORE RECENTLY...INTENSE COLD PREVAILED
THROUGH MUCH OF FEBRUARY 2007...WHEN THE MONTHLY MEAN TEMPERATURE
RAN 4 TO 8 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE. THAT MONTH WAS ONE OF THE TOP TEN
COLDEST FEBRUARYS AT ONTONAGON...IRONWOOD...MANISTIQUE...MUNISING...
MARQUETTE CITY AND THE MARQUETTE NWS.
BUT THE CONTINUED CLIMB OF THE SUN IN THE SOUTHERN SKY PROMISES THE
END OF WINTER IS IN SIGHT AND THAT SPRINGTIME IS GETTING CLOSER.
AVERAGE TEMPERATURES RISE STEADILY AFTER THE FIRST WEEK OF THE
MONTH...FROM 12 ON 2/7 TO 17 ON 2/28 AT THE MARQUETTE NWS. DURING
THE LAST HALF OF FEBRUARY...RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES REACH WELL INTO
THE 50S AND 60S. AT MANY SITES...FEBRUARY 1998...1999...2000 AND
2002 ALL FALL INTO THE TOP 10 WARMEST ON RECORD. IN FEBRUARY 2000...
RECORD WARMTH AFTER 2/21 CAUSED RAPID SNOW MELT...AND ICE JAM
FLOODING WAS OBSERVED ON THE ONTONAGON RIVER. IN FACT...THE
TEMPERATURE AVERAGED 39.3 DEGREES BETWEEN 2/22/2000 AND 2/29/2000 AT
THE MARQUETTE NWS...MARKING THIS 8-DAY PERIOD AS THE WARMEST WEEK IN
THE SECOND MONTH SINCE RECORDS BEGAN IN 1961. BUT AT MOST LOCATIONS
IN UPPER MICHIGAN...FEBRUARY 1998 GOES DOWN IN THE RECORD BOOKS AS
THE WARMEST FEBRUARY EVER. TEMPERATURES AT SOME PLACES ENDED THE
MONTH AS MUCH AS 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL AS A STRONG EL NINO AND
ZONAL PACIFIC FLOW ALOFT PREVENTED THE NORMAL PARADE OF ARCTIC
AIRMASSES FROM INVADING THE UPPER GREAT LAKES.
AVERAGE SNOWFALL OVER UPPER MICHIGAN DURING FEBRUARY IS LESS THAN IN
JANUARY AS THE MEAN POSITION OF THE JET STREAM AND STORM TRACK MOVES
A BIT FARTHER SOUTH. FALLING LAKE SUPERIOR WATER TEMPERATURES AND
THE FORMATION OF ICE ON THE LAKE SOME YEARS ALSO REDUCE THE
INTENSITY OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW. EVEN SO...THERE IS A SHARP DECREASE
IN AVERAGE SNOWFALL FROM AREAS NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR TO INLAND
LOCATIONS ALONG THE WISCONSIN BORDER. WHILE HOUGHTON TYPICALLY
TALLIES ALMOST 33 INCHES OF THE WHITE STUFF...IRON MOUNTAIN WILL LOG
ONLY 10 INCHES DURING A TYPICAL FEBRUARY. ALTHOUGH MONTHLY
TEMPERATURES AVERAGED WELL ABOVE NORMAL...FEBRUARY 2002 WILL LONG BE
REMEMBERED FOR HEAVY PRECIPITATION AND SNOWFALL...ESPECIALLY IN THE
LAKE EFFECT SNOW BELTS. VERY MILD WEATHER INTO FEBRUARY THAT WINTER
MAINTAINED LAKE SUPERIOR TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE NORMAL...SO THAT
HEAVIER THAN USUAL LAKE EFFECT AND LAKE ENHANCED SNOW ACCOMPANIED A
GREATER THAN AVERAGE NUMBER OF SYNOPTIC STORMS. THE 91.9 INCHES OF
SNOW THAT FELL AT THE MARQUETTE NWS THAT MONTH PUSHES FEBRUARY 2002
TO THE TOP OF THE LIST OF NOT ONLY THE SNOWIEST FEBRUARY...BUT ALSO
THE SNOWIEST CALENDAR MONTH. THE 5.35 INCHES OF LIQUID EQUIVALENT
PRECIPITATION THAT FELL AT THAT LOCATION EASILY ECLIPSED THE
PREVIOUS STANDARD OF 3.62 INCHES OBSERVED IN FEBRUARY 1971. MANY
LOCATIONS FROM IRONWOOD TO NEWBERRY ALSO RECORDED A TOP FIVE
SNOWIEST AND WETTEST FEBRUARY IN 2002. DURING THE COLD FEBRUARY OF
1989...THE HOUGHTON COUNTY AIRPORT RECORDED 89.8 INCHES OF SNOW. NOT
ONLY IS FEBRUARY 1998 THE WARMEST AT MANY LOCATIONS...IT IS ALSO THE
LEAST SNOWY AT MANISTIQUE (1.0 INCH)...IRONWOOD (2.8 INCHES)...
ONTONAGON (5.0 INCHES)...AND THE HOUGHTON COUNTY AIRPORT (5.5
INCHES). MONTHLY SNOWFALLS OF 3.0 INCHES AT NEWBERRY AND 8.8 INCHES
AT MUNISING PLACE FEBRUARY 1998 AMONG THE TOP FIVE LEAST SNOWY.
OUTLOOK FOR SPRING
THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER (CPC) IS FORECASTING A GREATER THAN
CLIMATOLOGICAL CHANCE OF AN ABOVE NORMAL 3-MONTH AVERAGE TEMPERATURE
OVER THE EAST HALF OF UPPER MICHIGAN BUT EQUAL CHANCES OF AN ABOVE
NORMAL AND BELOW NORMAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OVER THE WEST HALF
DURING MARCH THROUGH MAY 2013. THE CPC INDICATES THERE IS A GREATER
CHANCE OF ABOVE AVERAGE 3-MONTH PRECIPITATION OVER ALL OF UPPER
MICHIGAN IN MARCH THROUGH MAY.

THIRTY YEAR NORMALS USED ARE FOR THE PERIOD OF 1981 THROUGH 2010.
