Stevo6899 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 GFS is non stop action into March. 3 possible significant storms in 10 days. Incredible stretch. Hopefully they will spread the wealth and not hit the same areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnweather Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 18 and very windy today with lake effect flurries. Boring pattern for my area looks to continue for at least the next 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 73 with winds gusting from the south at 35 mph at St. Louis. Amazing for Feb. 20 I kinda disagree, for STL anyway. Believe it or not, there are three daily records highs of 80º+ in the first 13 days of February...one being 84º on 2/1/1911. That's pretty amazing...

River Card Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Glad you love the avatar, I think it's a winner. Don't be so hateful life is too short. I'm just the messenger, wanna get mad go yell at Brett Anderson. Seriously, I know you guys love winter but reality is it's almost March so at some point you have to cut the cord and call it as it is. This has ben a great winter for many so what's the gripe? Longlegs, dude c'mon....your getting like a foot of snow go rejoice bro, live for the moment. Much love and snow...always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well the torch has finally caught up to LAF with this February, and using the correct normals for the airport, we're essentially at normal through the 19th. No doubt a + departure is a lock for February. Average temps/departures for LAF for this winter, again using the correct normals...not the WL COOP numbers used in the F6 form. December: 23.9º (-6.5º) January: 22.6º (-2.6º) February: 28.5º (-0.2º) through 2/19 Winter to date (Dec 1 through Feb 19): 24.5º (-2.1º) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Regardless of track of the oncoming train of systems Gil Sebenste makes the interesting point today from his NIU blog that each system will be bringing successively increasing amounts of moisture northward since the gulf is not being scoured out. Thus there will be heightened fuel for svr or snow depending on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The flood potential and its effects on getting crops in the ground early are going to be huge. I'm hoping March turns very dry for the upper midwest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 He's sleeping with the fishes I see MSP is around 74 inches of snow... That crap has to come south. I'll have to look at big flood years here and MSP snowfall totals to see if there is a good correlation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goknights Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 As much as snowpack is a big deal I would also think that soil moisture is gonna be big factor too. We need a slow melt. So far end of feb and early mar don't look good for melting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 A buddy from the QC just sent me a text saying it's snowing pretty hard in East Moline, with the ground quickly turning white. Weird cause there's just very light rain/hybrid drizzle here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Nice(narrow) band of snow ahead of the upper low moving in. MXO down to a 1/2 mile with snow. very small area of 40dbz just east of DVN and north of 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Snow moving back through this area.... Money- Think your right. I think soil moisture and spring rain are probably bigger factors. 1965 was the wettest March on record for MSP and La Crosse was severely flooded that year. April 2001 was the wettest on record we also had major flooding that year. Snow totals don't show a whole lot of correlation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 very small area of 40dbz just east of DVN and north of 80. Interesting. We have east winds here, with west winds in the QC. Nice surface convergence there. Starting to get a few flurries now. Hope it holds together enough to give us a good dusting. Nothing but brown grass and mud puddles out there right now lol.

cyclone77 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Pretty impressive snow rates with this band that just passed through. Picked up over a half inch in less than a half hour. Flake size was extremely small, like sugar almost. It just poured down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
