Geos Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeah it got a little uncomfy in the house yesterday as it got got up to 76 but thankfully the lake breeze kicked in and it slowly dropped back in to the 60's with a nice breeze coming in the windows. Thankfully me and you have the lake so this silly torch has been easy as pie so far.. by the time it warms up a lake breeze kicks in every afternoon to knock us bake to dream conditions.. Feels like we should be well in to April but lucky us still have two more months of heavy cooler by the lake to temper at times when it go's enfuego again. Could get ugly for sleeping tues and wed night. If that's the case I'll just go down to freemont and fish through the night as the walleye and white bass are really showing up in good #'s now. Kill two birds with one stone and it keep me from prematurely firing up the AC. Cloudy week for la crosse we wont be so lucky until later. Although I thank the clouds very much for keeping temps in check so far today. So looking forward to this weekends lake breeze and cool down. The free AC is nice to have! It was 70° in the house last night and kinda humid. Last couple nights the lake breeze will be going good until about 10pm, then it slackens off, then a light southerly wind warms it back up. Haven't broken 70° today yet. Showers have been wimpy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Last area of precip moving through, with clearing immediately behind it. Unless there's more development, we should make a run into the mid-70's. that sun came out fast and furious here at COD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Sky has lightened up, but no actual clearing yet. SE winds has kicked in, so probably get into the low 70s - if it clears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Heat has really cranked up the last hour...woudn't be shocked if we were in the mid 70Fs now... Strong SE winds and dew points in the upper 50Fs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Looks like we'll top out at 79. Another record at MLI also at 79. We may be done with the 80s if clouds continue to hamper the morning/early afternoon climb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 In my opinion, if we're going to have an historic positive temperature anomaly, March is the month to have it. I think there would be major groans to have 2 straight weeks of 50 degree days in January, and even more groans of having 2 straight weeks of 100+ temps in July. A very fitting first day of summer tomorrow, just your run of the mill low 80s and sun kind of day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 http://johndee.com/alcam.htm Hmm. John Dee updated his snow depth this morning to 8". I always find it comical to watch snow depths in heat waves and melt mode. I suppose snow depth is by finding the deepest spot hidden in shade in the woods. Of course the topper was Houghton Lake. Its funny to see how they handle snow depth in the far north in the melting stages. It says right in snow measuring guidelines, if the ground is less than half-covered in snow, the depth is a T. If its half 6" half 0, the snow depth is 3". Im not saying it doesnt get hard up there (wooded areas, layers upon layers of snow) to do snow depth, but I will say we dont have as much of an issue with depths down here when snow is in melt-mode. For instance, as deep as the snow was when I was in Grayling 2 weeks ago, I was measuring mostly near the woods. I would certainly call the snow depth up there a good 25-30", yet when I measured at my moms friends backyard (before venturing to the woods), it was more 18-21", not the 25-30" present near the woods. At home, i have no woods in my yard lol, in the same situation I would be putting snow depth at 19 or 20" (residential), not 25-30". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Time to shatter the all time March record high Will be interesting to see if Detroit can do it, their alltime is 82F. Interestingly though, several times since records began other cities further north in MI hit the mid and upper 80s, the all-time March high being 89F in Lapeer on March 27, 1910.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 CR hit 81 today, now four consecutive days of low 80s. We could use some rain now as the surface is getting pretty dry. There was a small cluster of showers this morning and a nice line of cells moved through this evening, but we totally whiffed on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Clouds, showers, and a onshore wind kept things cooler today. Topped at 69°. Falling into the upper 50s now. Last Thursday still stands as the warmest day of this mild spell; 78°. Need some appreciable rain this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 It seriously feels like mid-June versus mid-March. I don't ever recall a time where I could go jacketless (or, more aptly, coatless) during consecutive nights IN MARCH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
