BeastFromTheEast Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Very good flake size atm, and I can see why. 20-25 dbz through much of the county. Agreed coming down quite nicely!!!! Gotta give a big to March so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 After a day or so of the models giving us a some cooler weather. They seem to be trending back towards a more consistent torch. I'm loving how the models are ditching the late week cold in favor of the mild split flow. However, with the average high temp now into the 40s, torch needs to be redefined to 60+. Most of the temps later in the week into the weekend should merely be seasonably mild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 They've completely changed their handling of that SW cutoff. Rather than ejecting it late this week with the northern stream energy, creating a highly amplified long-wave trough, they're retrograding the cutoff and keeping the flow split, which favors more pacific rather than arctic air.

AppsRunner Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 CLE going with 1-3" here for today/tonight. We'll see. Had about a 1/3" this morning that melted completely already. Probably won't be able to get accumulating snowfall until after dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Accumulating? Not on the sidewalks or roads, but some accumulation on grassy surfaces/trees, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 As crazy as it may seem, all many areas need in order for 2011-12 winter to hit average snowfall is a surprise late season snowstorm like March 21, 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be getting hit with that lake effect in southern Lake County and over in St. Louis County. --With the melting off the roof today, there are some serious ice cycles forming!

Indystorm Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Winter of 2011-12: Zonal flow FTL But progressive zonal flow in the northern jet sream may lead to an active svr weather spring in our area once instability really arrives. GFS this morning shows increasing warmth through the Plains and Midwest along with several systems in its run that will have to be watched with interest.

You'll be taking much cooler by the lake up the fanny for three more months while DaddyLongLegs already has green tomato's.

Wouldn't surprise though if this awful warm pattern since last summer continues until god only knows when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pockets are 40°, but not the whole lake. Tuesday's reading at Chicago was 35°, 34° at the crib - which is several miles off shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowstorms Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Not here, unless it's a 30" snowstorm. We just need a 4-6" snowstorm to prevent another record low at YYZ. And even getting a inch thru atleast March 20, seems impossible lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
