I don't think I've ever seen this kind of agreement... For the northern tier neither model has any sustained warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Bathwater Lake MI doing a great job of warming us up to just where you don't need a beer koozie. Wonder if Geos cracked 32 degrees today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Saukville is at the nude beach on the lake today... working on his full body tan.

wisconsinwx Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 euro is nice up here.. nothing to warm or to cold.. few rain chances. Just how April should be. Yeah, like the textbook ugly cold rain system late Thursday into Friday. MKX not ruling out 2-2.5" of cold, yucky rain. We always seem to get most of our precip from these ugly chilly/cold rain systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, Mt. Waukegan today... the high of the day is right now, 46°. Might get to 47° if the lake wind were to slacken a bit! The bathtub today! That buoy east of Racine is registering 39° right now.

cyclone77 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Down to 34 early this morning, but it warmed all the way up to 61 to make for a nice day. The last flakes here were March 4th. Earliest last flakes hands down that I've ever seen here. The whole winter will go down as the most uneventful one I can remember. Greatest single snow event never topped 4". Just bizarre, but we were overdue for a stinker. At least next winter can't be any worse in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 @ Tropical. That pretty chilly for around the 20th of April. Down to 39.0° here. Edit: 38° at 10:30pm. A slow slide in temperatures tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Just like last time the day I come back from Florida will be the coldest in awhile. Coming back Friday night. Keeping the hotel room in the 60s so I don't completely lose my cold tolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bizarre, but we were overdue for a stinker. At least next winter can't be any worse in any way. Last flakes here April 11th, biggest event imby was 4.9" but next up was 2.5" (two different times) then a slew of 1-2" deals. Agree we were overdue for a stinker...but dont jinx next winter LOL. In my 17 winters of weather observing, this was the least snowy winter I recorded (25.5" which beat out 27.2" in 1997-98) and also the least amount of 1"+ snowcover days (20 days which beat out out 31 days in 1997-98). But that said, looking at 140 years of data, it CAN get worse, actually by quite a margin, we just havent seen it (I would assume the same could be said for area). And its even not out of the realm of possibility to have 2 back-to-back disaster winters (happened a few times in the 1930s-50s). But its very unlikely and I give next winter a 98% chance of being more pleasing to the winter lover in 2012-13 than in 2011-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you don't have it in the 60's because it's just awesome to turn the air all the way up at a hotel and have a chilly room when it's hot out?

Haha, anything is possible, but I'm definitely not worried about jinxing next winter. If next winter ends up worse than this last one it would have to be an extraordinarily erroneous season, which would actually be interesting in itself. I wouldn't be surprised to have another low quality winter, but I can't see anything topping this past one for lack of snow and cold. EDIT: just speaking for this (DVN) specific area.

wisconsinwx Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I think with the sun that has been abundant the past few hours we could get to 70F today.
