Chicago WX Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 35º for the high at LAF today. Pretty much doubled that last year on this date, with a high of 69º. Drip, melt, drip today...but to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Turkeys up north have declined substantially.. The DNR is actively reintroducing turkeys up north to boost the population. I have tons of turkeys near my home though, I would really like to eat one for thanksgiving instead of store bought. they are in flocks here by the dozens. I can drive the 15 miles to Charlevoix and see 200 or more some days. I haven't eaten one,but I was told they are tasty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yeah lol some could be gravel roads There's road in particular in a park in Kenosha County that is paved, but it might as well be a gravel road - it is so broken up. Road crews will need to resurface most of the road later on to properly fix it. --- Bo- I saw a wild turkey in the city of Milwaukee last Autumn by UWM! There is plenty of them out there, no matter what the environment it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Nice 35dbz lake effect band just moved through. Have a cm or two down already. Heavy wet snow coming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Nice 35dbz lake effect band just moved through. Have a cm or two down already. Heavy wet snow coming down. Was watching the RESCU cams on Allen Road. Looks like it's even sticking to the pavement. btw...don't think it's LES as its origins are from the NE. Probably caused by PVA associated with a little mid level closed low dropping through the Lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapering off now but reminded me of the start of the storm last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Did my own snowfall tally chart like IWX's above. Snowfall average is from the nearest town (8 miles away) I could find that had a solid 30 year average recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It hit 70 here one year ago yesterday, and 67 one year ago today. Hard to believe it can get that warm the way it looks outside right now. What a difference a year makes. A week from tomorrow one year ago we started a stretch of 6 out of 7 days above 80. Highest temp for March so far this year has been 35 lol.

wisconsinwx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The WRF NMM actually has the initial WAA precip slug as snow for a few hours, then the next one later in the day Saturday would be rain. Could be an interesting day of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 15 this morning. Snow is pretty crusty out there. Should start melting pretty good by noon. Much of it could be gone by later tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimChgo9 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think this might be more interesting then a snow-penis... http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=lot&storyid=93193&source=0 Apparently, last night, a military aircraft discharged some chaff over SE WI and Lake Michigan. Must have been quite a bit of it to affect a radar signature like that. Chaff is basically thin strips of foil, something similar to the stuff mylar balloons are made out of.. Used to confuse radar. Also, used by surface ships, and fighter planes to decoy radar guided missiles (note: I am not implying anything with that last statement) Kind of interesting.....

hawkeye_wx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The last couple exceptionally snowy weeks have been fun, but I'm quite ready for the big melt. 40 degrees plus an inch of rain should knock down the snowpack quite a bit tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Down to 14 this morning and already up to 32, with a 9 degree rise the past hour. 3/4"-1" of rain is likely this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Low 15° this morning. So far today is a lot cloudier than yesterday. Wind blowing off the water right now. The GFS can kept trending that heavier rain east. Don't really need water in my basement this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm ready for some warmer temps too... Really want to get back out on the bike, but its going to be a sloppy mess for awhile. This is always the time of year where I am tired of snow, but always hate to watch it melt away. On the bright side, most snow should be gone after this weekend, then as soon as we get a bit warmer, golfing it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Woke up to 26 this morning. It is now 42. Lots of sunshine, and plenty of melting. I am figuring this snowpack will be mostly gone by middle of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Holding steady at 33° with a few wispy high clouds. GGEM potentially sniffing out some snow in the area on Monday morning. Edit: EURO, NAM, RPM all on this snow scenario now too for N IL, eastern IA, parts of MI and most of WI. (maybe NW IN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 FWIW the 12z Euro and 18z NAM bring some accumulating snow to E WI Sunday night. The amount of interaction the northern stream has on our southern stream system has a big impact on whether or not we see some snow. Edit: 18z GFS shows the potential now. As you can see pretty big differences at the 500mb level from the 12z run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
