Chicago WX Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Just got to 32 at LAF at 5:00pm. Have had a lot of sunshine this afternoon too, though mixed with clouds. Impressively cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Love getting into a hot car via the March sun. Makes these chilly early spring days easier to handle. Crocuss have bloomed this past werkend, but this persistant chill has stopped their progression. Robins are beeboping around outside. Many hints of spring minus the chilly air. Wont be long until the tulip pop. Nothing really popping here yet. Red-winged Blackbirds are about the only sign of spring right now here (besides the obvious higher sun). There were a few Robin's last Friday, but I haven't seen any since - any open ground was frozen over like a rock after last night's cold (no worms). At this rate the Daffodils won't be up until next month! ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Very Wintry day today... wind howled all damn day. At least the sun came out... high 25. The drive was a disaster too.

Like the tree covered hill in the backyard! 65° here this time last year for a high. The 14th was the first 80° for many away from the lakeshore areas.

cyclone77 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Last of the snow melted today. Pretty much bare out there now with just some piles. Snow field really took a hit in the last week. This time last week we had 8-9" on the ground. The snow has retreated north of I-80 now... http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/811/mar13h.jpg/'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I took this pic and actually posted it around New Years day. This is of the Rock just outside of town. It was around 4-5' at this point, which is very low. It's now flooding at about 16'. That island with the trees on it near the bridge is completely under water. The water would be several feet over my head in this pic right now. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/35/201301011434412.jpg/'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make it up to Gaylord a couple times a year to snowmobile and I always leave saying, "I need to move here". Family/job/etc has kept this from happening at this point.

This time last week we had 8-9" on the ground. The snow has retreated north of I-80 now... Nice shot of the bubbling clouds with the snow squalls. About 7.5" of snow on the ground now. The snow yesterday melted off the areas that were bare or near bare from before, but it stuck well to the old dense snow pack all day. Neighborhood is about 90% snow covered right now. Only south slopes and steep slopes in general are bare. Already down in the upper 20s. Another chilly night on tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Indiana is nice, but living here is like a whole other country.... especially outside the "metropolis" of Gaylord. Still adjusting kinda even after 6 months.

daddylonglegs Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Massive snow totals.. I bet we see some good Mississippi flooding this spring... My brothers own land north of here about 45 minutes and they were up there today and they could barely get around...said there is huge drifts in spots and probably close to 20 inches on the ground.... Said its amazing the difference between here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 DLL - just found the snow depth record for Osseo, WI. That's pretty deep snow cover! Wisconsin River is going to probably really high as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate the Daffodils won't be up until next month! ha I never really look close for signs of spring, so Im sure some shoots have come up like they always do and Im sure the birds are chirping, but all I pretty much see is a brown landscape with dormant trees, huge difference to the early greenup that started taking place last year in mid-March (first with the grass, then flowers, then trees).

michsnowfreak Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Last 3rd of March is looking warmer, if not warm. Blocking will break down while the poor pacific pattern floods the CONUS with pacific air. Pretty much going to the plan. Warmth the last third of March is going completely against every long term model Ive seen (euro weeklies, cfs weeklies, LR GFS all indicate winter holding firm).

daddylonglegs Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Geos- Osseo is just north of his cabin...probably 15-20 minutes away... Another foot probably coming up that way by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Accumulating snow again this evening and that Bruce County les band is coming this way with snow already starting to come down. As anxious as I am for spring to come... it sure does look nice outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Like last week we had a burst of snow during the middle of the day that did yield accumulation, but all of which melted by the time I had chance to measure. Not even going to guess. Whatever Pearson records for today I'm going to plug in likewise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
