Trent Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 So met winter was pretty much top 5, top 10 warmest for most folks. Adding the first 3 weeks of March into the mix probably pushes this winter (astronomical) into first place for most places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 make that 81 at ORD. 19 years ago on this date, ORD dropped to 7F following the Superstorm of 1993. Just a bit colder than today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 62 and lovely this afternoon! This is perfect. Sometimes it feels like I have that seasonal affective disorder with all that winter gloom, but as soon as that warm spring sun shines out it's just business as usual . If only every March could be like this..winter is way to long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure this would have been the warmest winter for this area. If not 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 absolutely stunning day here in Toronto. Sunny, 66F, 32F dewpoint, no humidity, no smog. It could stay like this all summer and I'd be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go much more south than here. We get four months or so to actual enjoy the outdoors then the rest of the year is too cold and unpredictable. I wish we had an actual proper Florida and not just southern Ontario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had an actual proper Florida and not just southern Ontario Plenty of Canadians immigrate to Florida or just go there part of the year, lots of Canadian flags along the beach. I'm definitely moving back to the tropics when college is done, seasonal prisons aren't fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Looks like we may have maxed out at 75* here. That 79* Traverse City report is redic. If convection and rain stays away tomorrow, I think 80* isn't out of the question for parts of SEMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherpsycho Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Seasons are only a prison if you don't enjoy seasonal activities. I for one enjoy the seasons & all the various activities each season offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Made it to 79 here, 78 at MLI which is a new record. Was hoping for an 80, but too many clouds developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The hardy maples are shooting buds. Still plenty of time for the oaks and ash trees. Won't be long until the Morels start pushing up. Crab apple tree is starting to pop tiny flower buds. Another 7-10 days of this weather and it will look like mid April around here. Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Pending some freak jump, my high will go down in the books at 79.0F, currently sitting at 77.7F with a dew point of 58.7F. Just stunning for mid March. The daffodils are almost blooming and the trees are starting to kick into high gear now and may pop any day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettman320 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Beautiful day today! Today was the first time I actually didn't have to work and could enjoy the day. I agree that the tree buds are already starting to shoot buds. Are the leaves really just around the corner? This is insane, even the low temperatures are well above the average highs for this time of year. Hopefully we can get some decent storms tomorrow too.

I have been there before at the campground in late May/early June. The State Park will be 50F because of the lake but you go inland just a mile or so and it was in the 70s & 80s. At the lake the breeze seemed to be right off the lake while just inland it came from the south. It would create like a 'lake front' As the day progressed it would get much cooler further inland as the 'lake front' would move eastward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember camping over memorial weekend in 2003 near Manistee. On Friday night we were basically on Lake Michigan stiff wind of the lk temps were in the 40's. It was miserable. Next day we found a camp site near Honor well inland. Temps were in 70's very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 2-2.5 miles Ok... Around here if the wind is out of the southeast it is cooler, but the western part of the county will be untouched by the lake cooling for that wind trajectory. Kind of a similar situation.
