Hit 60 here in town again, breaking the record of 55 (2014), DLH hit 62 breaking the record of 58 (2015). A slew of records across MN/WI/UP MI region with some being substantial. Daily records that are 5+ from 2nd place are rather common across the N half of our sub, which shows how extreme swings are much more common than one would think. When I started researching that a few years ago, was surprised at the results.

After a warm couple days, avg temps today. Then back to warmer, and back to avg. Seesaw, whiplashes. Might get to have some thunder Friday night. You'd think I was in the S Sub
-
Record high here in town of 60. Looks like another record going down today, 55 (2014) here in town as forecast is for upper 50's (possibly 60 again). Edit: Looks like Duluth set a record as well. 57 beat 55 (2021). Today's record for them is 58 (2015), and could go down as well.
-
Temps peaking around 60 today on W wind. Very nice early Spring day. Possible record depending on what the co-op site records as it stands at 59 (1977). Looking at similar temps tomorrow before a front blows through, and drops max temps into the 30's. Temps will rebound back to 45-50 ahead of that strong LP moving into the region along with potentially heavier rains. Need the precip (wish it was snow though).
-
Early data in for Feb, and a little colder this year (much colder than last year). Winter ended avg with Dec being on the warm side offsetting the somewhat colder months of Jan/Feb. 5 & 10 yr trend charts shown respectively.
-
Mother's Day looks pretty nice. A CAN front will move into the NW areas of the sub. Looking like a bit of a rollercoaster in the first half of May with CAN systems followed by HP's bringing days of warmer/cooler wx with scattered shwrs/stms.
-
Expecting a front to move through on May Day (May 1st) this year. Should spark up some shwrs/stms.
-
2" of snow here in town. Still a light snow falling. Yesterday it was changing from snow to white rain, and back as temps were in the mid 30's. Sloppy start to the precip that crusted overnight. Mid 20's now.
-
Started snowing here in town around 3 pm. Starting to collect on the grass, and my deck. Temp at 35, but should lower a bit more as the Sun wanes, and snow cools the air off more. Progged for 1-2", but might do a little better, hopefully.
-
Looks like a near miss for me Tues. A little rain to snow with maybe 1-2" of slop. Interior areas of NE MN may get a light glaze of ice. WI/UP MI looking to get hit hard with the Lake's help.
-
Windy here too with 40-50+ gusts around the area. Temps slowly dropping since about 9 am.
-
Let it snow, let it snow. Hoping for some good hits this month.

Winter 2024-25 Medium/Long Range Discussion
Brian D replied to michsnowfreak's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Give me a storm with 50-70 mph winds, and a foot of snow this March, and you can bet I'll have a "tingle up my leg". LOL!! Glad the bitter is gone. Had enough of that. Now just let it snow good before Spring gets it's butt in gear. -
Snow coming through tonight. I'm missing out on some decent snow as the clipper slides just to my N.
-
Easter is pretty late this year. Earth Day is just 2 days after, so I will have both forecasts in this post. First, Easter Sunday looks cool with shwrs/stms possible across areas of the S sub. Another LP will be entering our region on Earth Day. Expecting temps to rise ahead of the LP, with shwrs/stms on tap.
-
Top 5 warmth yesterday across most of MN, and WI. Felt nice. Big water puddles around here as temps reached 47 here in town. A nice ending to the month with the last week having temps in the 30's & 40's. After a month of really bitter wx, this is great.
-
This chart mirrors that graph. Canada's weekly % chart updated every Wed.
-
Guess I spoke too soon SW winds today are blowing ice NE, so I'm sure the thin stuff is breaking up with bigger, thicker slabs drifting up the Lake.
-
This is yesterday's ice. Probably will be the greatest extent of the season.
-
Saying good-bye to the deeply bitter wx, and on to some milder stuff (35-40) this coming weekend into next week. Heat wave!
-
Temps running -10's to -20's this morning. A breezy NW wind driving wind chills down into the -30's to -40's. Rather it be -30 on a calm wind than a -30 wind chill. Wind slices through you.
-
I thought I would contribute with the data I have. Take it for what it's worth, but 1850 forward is a pretty solid avg, with pre 1850 in need of more datasets to make it better. Because your on the eastern edge of the zones I have, I've also included the NE data so you can get a better feel. Just as side note, the 1830's were more avg to above for winter in both sections.
-
3-6" around my area being reported so far. 2.8" imby. NWS DLH had the avg ratio for the SLR at 48:1. Very dry, powdery snow.
-
Some big changes in just 1 day. The next arctic wave should cause some bigger increases depending on the wind velocities.
-
Valentine's forecast a little off, but there is a system coming in affecting the region, especially S sub. What I saw as a front ends up being a trough extending NE from LP. President's day will see the LP in the W get shunted to the SE while another round of arctic invades the region. Was uncertain on that LP track.
