OHweather Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Looks like CLE will bust badly here... Precip looks weak Ya, it looks like Erie and perhaps coastal Ottawa Counties may be the winners in northern Ohio tonight...probably a combination of enhanced convergence along the shoreline and added moisture from the lake. Have seen some on and off bursts of light snow here over the past two hours adding up to 0.5", on top of the 3.4" that fell this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Back from Grayling. Was GORGEOUS. Best scenery (deep snow + plastered trees) Ive EVER seen. On 75 south, in 45 minutes you went from 2+ feet depth to a T depth, just insane. Took a TON of pics....winter scenery lovers you will enjoy! http://www.americanw...rd-worthy-snow/ Meanwhile, now that Im home I see that my last shoveled snow pile was completely demolished Friday night (assumably), neighbor has a tiny one, some parking lots have tiny ones (bigger at the mall) and thats it. Completely barren while 3.5 hours north has their deepest snow in several years. However, since I have gotten home we have since picked up a dusting of rime snowfall, our first measurable snow since Feb 25th actually (off and on snowflakes the last 2 days had only amounted a trace), though I see at the OH/MI border the ground looks covered and it also looks like down the road to my west got a few inches. Not gonna complain though as I was trudging in snow past my knees several hours ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Quite surprised how the snow has fallen even up here, minimal reflectivity yet enough to put down at least a dusting to 1/2" even on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best fluff snow all winter! Temperatures are really heading down around Milwaukee with the snow cover. Down to the low teens towards Fond du Lac.

gosaints Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Well it looks like the cards have been dealt for at least the first half of March (probably longer). We might as well accept and enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 7 degrees with bare ground. I won't miss mornings like this. it's funny, but this time of year cold becomes nothing more than an annoyance to me. But when you consider how abysmal this winter was the annoyance factor is multiplied by 100. It's like you just want old man winter to finish picking up the rest of **** and get the hell out of here.... he was worthless all season anyways.

AppsRunner Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Over 4" here, everything is covered, just incredible outside. Also beat out the biggest event of the winter season, with 4.25". Some of the morning snow was completely lost due to melting, so if I took my 24hr snow from the snowboard it would be about 4.5 to 4.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The fresh snow helped the temp dive into the single digits this morning, about ten degrees colder than expected. I just got done shoveling a couple driveways. The snow is quite dry and fluffy, more typical of January than March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Nothing but a few little ice piles around here. I would imagine by the end of this week, there will be nothing. Looks awfully mild right through the weekend. Moved 50 plants out to the plastic greenhouse this morning. I figure with night time lows only in the upper 20Fs, i'll be ok. Already 40F in there with an outside temp of 21F... I had apple seedlings in there the past week and they've been fine as long as I cover them at night. Last night the low was 16F. With full sun, the interior should hit near 90F this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
