wisconsinwx Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It actually feels pretty warm out there. You know we are in a cold pattern when temps in the low 30s feel warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised, you haven't made it up into the 30s I don't believe, maybe until now. It was wettish snow here, but not really concrete compared to some of the concrete mixers we've had this winter.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 March 2012 was basically our generation's equivilent of March 1945 and 1946. When you think about it, it's amazing to think there were two "Morchs" in a row back in the 40s. Granted, 2012 still claims the top spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Looking back at Morch highs at DTW... 3/20: 82 3/21: 84 3/22: 86 Point and click for these days in 2013 and departure from 2012... 3/20: 31 (-51) 3/21: 33 (-51) 3/22: 37 (-49) That's a simply amazing year over year departure.

wisconsinwx Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Looking at Madison and Milwaukee comparisons will be just plain scary. 80s vs 20s for some of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Looking at Madison and Milwaukee comparisons will be just plain scary. 80s vs 20s for some of the week. Here is a bit different comparison, just as shocking: For INL: 3/17/13: low temp -28 3/17/12: high temp 77 So, if you were walking around town in INL drinking your St. Patrick's Day beverage of choice at 7 AM 3/17/13 vs. 4 PM on 3/17/12, you experienced a 105-degree difference.

Chicago WX Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Maybe Tim will remember the year but I think LAF got missed to the south in April a while back. Hmm, I don't know. Going way back, April 6, 1971 dropped 8.6" in Evansville. LAF saw nothing. Don't think we're making the forecasted mid/upper 40's today. Topped out at 38º so far, sitting at 37º right now.

SchaumburgStormer Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Was just thinking about how last year the Monday after Easter (4/9) I mowed, and it was overdue. This year on 3/18 I have a solid 8-12" of snowcover over most of the yard and it is the most compacted solid ice slab snow I've ever seen. Keep seeing posts all around me saying the snowcover is gone. It is alive and well in Rockford. Short of shoveled piles, it's gone in the dekalb area.

cyclone77 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Snow has been gone here for several days except the piled areas. The snow that fell this morning is already history. Impressive CAA this afternoon. After hitting 35 it's back down to 26 now. This time last year it was still around 80 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Geos may have lent him his ruler before he left the state. Maybe Geos decided to vacation in Rockford instead of South Dakota so he had a good chance to see sticking snow in state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Not trying to get into a snow depth debate as I dont even live in IL...but remember, snow depth is an average. And at no time is it more difficult than when sun angle comes into play or with an old snowpack. Say your side of the street had 4" and the other side of the street was bare, the depth is 2". Have to take an average. Hard to believe if the highest reported depth in LOT CWA 3", and RFD official depth 1", that some areas have 8-12" depth. Anyway here just a T on the ground. Slushy patches. Tonight once temps drop, the remaining slush patches will freeze and lake effect kicks in. Hoping for some bands, but they will not show up well on radar. We have to rely on surrounding offices radar as DTX is upgrading their radar so its offline til march 25th. Getting the outer scope of surrounding NWS radars wont hone in on convective details, so could be some interesting times. The Spring Equinox will arrive to temps in the teens.

SchaumburgStormer Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Any reason why DVN highlights small portions of the county for a flood warning while LOT and ILX highlight a whole county? This image just looks weird considering LOT and DVN are issuing flood warnings on the same river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This image just looks weird considering LOT and DVN are issuing flood warnings on the same river. They have already started using the impact based warning system. I think the rest of the CWA's in the region start using them April 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
