snowstormcanuck Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Likely my last thread of winter 2010-11. Always sad to see another season in the process of winding down. Anyways, it'll be interesting to see if we have a 3rd straight early spring or if old man winter wants to change things up and protract our suffering.

If there's something exceptional (hurricane remnants, flooding) I'll get interested, but generally speaking, summer is the time I get away from the computer.

ukrocks Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hoping March can give me a 5-10 day cold spell so I can at least see one last snow shower or even better a snowstorm. I just want to see snowflakes fly through the air one last time. Although my time is dwindling. After that bring on the shorts and t-shirt weather with lots of severe weather. I see this March as a wild month with extreme temperature ranges. Will be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Baro either, but my favorite severe weather event has to be hands down the Derecho of May 31th 1998, came steamrolling in at dawn, some of the most prolific damage to hit the state in a squall line/derecho.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Was nice to be out today without a jacket. Hope for some more of that in March. I'll take a big snowstorm if I can get it, but nickel and dime garbage can stay in the upper lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goknights Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 They thing I would watch for frank is that if we do have a cold march that is generally not good for flooding its seems around these parts. Its seems if we get to late march early april with a large snowpack it is all going at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Looks like this gradient pattern is going to continue into March. Winter in the northern tier and winter probably over farther south with my area caught in the battle zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Going for the turkey and the 3rd straight March without measurable snowfall (greater than a trace) for LAF. Has only happened once before BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hopefully we will get 4"+ this March. Best case scenarios for snow in March were March '08 or '99. It probably won't be worse then the last two years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the snow doesn't pile up by the 12th or so, it's mostly hit or miss scraps from that point into April. So, based on the way the models look, YOUZE IS SCREWED.

I would like to get to 50"...however, the second we reach that (if we do) I will be in full spring mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised if that changes in the coming days. As mentioned in the storm thread models are starting to suggest that the tropical forcing/MJO gets into a much more favorable position ( winter storms/colder )for us going into March and or later next week. Phase 6/7 onward. Either way it is gonna be hard at best to do again what was done last March and the one before. Trace or less of snowfall here. Add in a Nina and well odd's strongly favor below normal temps and above normal snows. I'll go as far to say that i think the odds are high that we see a another snow bomb in the region ( se of La Crosse and west of the apps ) this month.

Yeah I would say I-80 to the river is up for grabs. Farther south is probably about done barring a fluke and farther north should have more sustained cold/snow chances.
