roardog Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Mid 60s in the southern part of Michigan while it's in the mid 30s here with the fog beginning to get thick. No warm sector for here. Maybe Friday? Although that's looking less likely now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Conditions look very squally out there now, with heavier snow and the strong winds. It's actually kind of impressive. Ground is so warm nothing's sticking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 A nice torch to cap off the last day of Met Winter ... a very fitting end indeed!

No ice here, few sleet pellets and plain rain. Mix of everything here this morning. About an inch or so of snow/sleet this morning. However, there's still a few inches of snowcover here in the shaded areas from the snow event last week. Sun exposed areas have a mix of grass and snowcover.

Still there are several 2' feet snow piles on the sidewalks in downtown Cleveland, which lets everyone realize just what time of year it really is. Wasnt a torch here today, it was like London with the fog, and the grass is brown and mushy, but it certainly doesnt look like winter. The only snow piles here are old plow piles in parking lots. Even then, some parking lots have none left while others have decent sized ones in the shaded areas, huge at the mall...but thats it. Well, my neighbor has one pile as do I, LOL, but this is from purposely making them big when shoveling. 98% of lawns have absolutely zero snow on them.

snowstormcanuck Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Finished Feb with 6.0" of snow and 1.38" of precipitation imby. Despite being on pace for a record low seasonal snowfall total, no single month thus far has broken a low snowfall record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll guarantee that those records won't be broken for at least 4 years. The opportunity to break them is also 75% less, making it more impressive.

michsnowfreak Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Last time the calendar said Feb 29th, there was a snowstorm....in what was a nonstop parade of snowstorms in Feb/Mar. Ahhh memories. 2-29-08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record for February 28th is 67 and the record for March 1st is 69 and the record for March 2nd is 64 with 140 years of data, so today's record of 68 for February 29th isn't some anomalous figure.

The opportunity to break them is also 75% less, making it more impressive. Sorry, I'm confused. If it were not a leap year, then today would be March 1st. What's the record for March 1st? (LOT doesn't publish the climate summary until after midnight and Wunderground defaults to KGYY. I'm sure I could get to it through NCDC somewhere but I don't know exactly where.) If there's only 1/4 of the data as compared to a typical day, then wouldn't there be a significantly increased chance of having "record-breaking weather" on that day? Edit: just saw Trent's reply above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Probably going to finish the month just shy of +4 here. December was warmest, January in the middle, and February coolest relative to average although all 3 were solidly above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 What an incredible day. 68 for the new record and a blast of thunderstorms. Went outside and just took these shots. The temp dropped almost instantaneously from near 60 to the upper 30s when the winds shifted from the lake. So odd to be out in February taking lightning pictures along the shore. Not a lick of ice outside. This would have been incredible had the lake been frozen over (as it normally is in this location at this time of year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Finished Feb with 6.0" of snow and 1.38" of precipitation imby. Despite being on pace for a record low seasonal snowfall total, no single month thus far has broken a low snowfall record. But the chances are very high (>98%) for another record low, lol. I got about 11.0" this month or 28.0cm. My call for March is less than a inch at best. Maybe April can give something like in 2009 LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

December was warmest, January in the middle, and February coolest relative to average although all 3 were solidly above normal. With +4 being the coolest relative to average, that's one warm met winter. Warm and fairly wet. FWA is going to end up about 1 3/4" above normal for met winter, with January being below normal.

Trent Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks everyone. It's actually a bit better to take lightning pictures at night ... well a bit easier in my opinion, as you can do long exposures to catch multiple strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
