Powerball Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 UGH!!! We're back to that time of year where we have to contend with lake stratus. And we're back to that same crappy pattern we were stuck under back in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Was pissed when we had to leave 4 days early from Ashland yesterday in case my dad had to salt or w/e at the airport.. Ashland was forecasted for 12"+ and MKE probably ended up with more snow Green Bay got smoked and might have taken over the departure from normal lead in the MW for the time being. Good yr to be a snow weenie and Pack fan living in GB. 18" snow depth up there What a waste of cold down here coming up. can't even ice fish either. At least the mother nature will have the news folks whining instead of gushing over spring warmth.. Looking forward to this below normal spring temps continuing after last yrs debacle of warmth. LM prob still in the upper 30's so I envision lots of days to come when it does warm up for a few days here and there where BadgerBlizz is perving out his window at the female coeds starting to bare themselves while in his easy access boxer shorts.. DaddyD will be lounging in his greenhouse sauna in nothing but his skidder stained whiteys... Tropical Saukville will be running the heat on 80 with temps in the 40's until we warm up around mothers day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Global_Warmer Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I have 38.7F right now. This is pretty ridiculous. I have a feeling there is gonna be a lot of snow going around the next 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Card Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Look like as we head into the 5th or so of April...finally! that the dreaded raging pna takes a sh*t and heads waaaay down into negative territiory, With the AO safely positive and the Nao trending to positive albeit slightly, could mean a nice torch might be on tap in about 2 weeks or so. Could see 90 degree temps around Kokomo, Wi possibly. http://www.cpc.ncep....a/pna.sprd2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Bring it on, granted I'm expecting a modified torch (70s maybe?). It's too early for 90s this far north and east. 70s sounds more reasonable, mid to upper 60s would still be 10-15 above normal by then too. 90s have about a 0.001% chance of occurring.

The_Global_Warmer Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 when KC saturated, albiet short-lived went from 40f to 33f and snow. the models predict a much colder mid level air mass over this area with this. SO hopefully there will be enough banding and lift for a burst of heavy snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Heading up to Bago to ice fish this morning. 13 up there now and will be perfect temps for the mile or two of walking out to where we will be fishing. Now that there is no safe ice down here to fish on I'm really torn whether i want spring to come or continue to see the warminista's suffer around here.. Since winter has basically sucked here since the blizz I'll go with the latter. Looks like a repeat of the weenie LES like yesterday continuing through this weekend.

turtlehurricane Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 17° F this morning in Madison. Now we're getting on and off snow showers from Lake Michigan, nice big flakes at times. Nothing like a sunny and snow late March day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Today marks the one month anniversary of our last measurable snow. Had 0.2" on Feb 26th. So far a trace in March. Looks like we'll end March with no measurable snow. March usually sucks for snow around here, except the rare storm, but it's pretty unusual to see no accumulating snow for the entire month.

snowstormcanuck Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 6" snowdepth to trace in 3 days with temps below freezing. That's late March sunshine for you. Although there's still 3-4" in shady areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 LOT on the LES... LIKE RUNNING INTO SANTA CLAUS AT THE MALL IN MARCH...OUR FRIEND JACQUES LES PLUME IS MAKING A FEW OUT SEASON CAMEOS. THE IMPRESSIVE LAKE EFFECT SNOW PLUME THAT HIT SE WI THIS MORNING HAS BEGUN TO FADE WITH LOSS OF LAND BREEZE CONVERGENCE...BUT DID SEE SOME FAIRLY INTENSE SNOWFALL IN THAT BAND WITH VSBY OCCASIONALLY DOWN TO 1/2SM IN MODERATE SNOW. INTERESTINGLY...THE YESTERDAY AND THE PREVIOUS DAY MODELS REALLY WARRANT SHOWING A LOW LEVEL CONVERGENT BAND DEVELOPING...HOWEVER THIS MORNINGS 12Z MODELS ARE SHOWING A WELL DEVELOPED CONVERGENCE BAND DEVELOPING TONIGHT AND TAKING AIM ON FAR SE WI AND THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST SUBURBS OF CHICAGO. THERMODYNAMICALLY SPEAKING...FORECAST SOUNDINGS OVER THE LAKE FOR SUNDAY MORNING LOOK NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THIS MORNING. WOULD EXPECT LAND BREEZE CONVERGENCE TO BE A BIT STRONGER SUNDAY MORNING GIVEN THE SIGNAL IN THE MODELS...WHICH WOULD SUGGEST THAT JACQUES LES PLUME WILL BE EQUALLY AS IMPRESSIVE...IF NOT MORE SO...SUNDAY MORNING. LOW LEVEL FLOW SUNDAY MORNING WOULD TEND TO FAVOR A MORE SOUTHWARD PLACEMENT OF THE LAKE EFFECT...PLACING AT LEAST THE NORTHERN SUBURBS IN THE LINE OF FIRE. HARD TO GET SOME GOOD ACCUMS THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH WARMER GROUND AND HIGH SUN ANGLE...SO NOT EXPECTING ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS. HOWEVER...TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WOULD NOT BE AT ALL SURPRISED TO SEE WET SNOW ACCUMULATE UP TO AN INCH OR TWO ON GRASSY SURFACES. PINPOINTING LOCATIONS MOST AT RISK FOR LAKE EFFECT IS NO EASIER IN THE SPRING THAN IT IS IN THE WINTER...SO DID SPREAD CHC POPS AS FAR SOUTH AS CHICAGO.
