IWXwx Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Agree. Gorgeous. I wanted to ask, what was your Feb and Mar snowfall at LAF? Think its the complete opposite of here. Here... Feb: 22.0" Mar: 3.7" I don't know about LAF, but MBY is the opposite... Jan: 3.4" Feb: 4.8" Mar: 17.6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The 2" of snow from the northern fringe of the storm overnight here melted nicely today. Sun is strong this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Started out the day looking like a winter wonderland, but it disappeared pretty quickly. So long snow cover until next winter! https://vimeo.com/62666105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I don't know about LAF, but MBY is the opposite... Jan: 3.4" Feb: 4.8" Mar: 17.6" lol its like two completely different winters for places that are so relatively close Nov- 0.4" Dec- 11.4" Jan- 10.3" Feb- 22.0" Mar- 3.7" Whats funny about this gray, chilly, boring march....only 8 of the 25 days have had 0 snowcover, but no day has had more than 2" depth (there have been 5 days of 1", 2 days of 2", and 10 days of T).

Thunder Road Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 What a few more degrees in wind direction and 850 mb temp would do for us! We've had a constant LES flizzard going on since about 4 pm. Now back up to a coating on the grass (after all of last night's snow melted) but VPZ still reporting 0.6 C means the roads and even sidewalks remain just wet.

Surprisingly well-organized band forming over the lower lake, despite the marginal deltaT's. Shame the surface is still too warm for god accumulations.

Thunder Road Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Down to 0.0 C with the 0453z ob. And like clockwork we've got white sidewalks again. Not too shabby for March 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Wow, Frostfern - those pictures are incredible! You do know how to take good snow pics! I bet Wawa will have snow cover into May. It might but the natural snow depth in Wawa wasn't as much as places to the south (probably around two feet). The piles were big though. The ice on the higher lakes in the park was 3 feet thick. That will probably be there through early May. Its black fly and mosquito season the first month after the snow and ice is gone which means more it's even less tolerable being outdoors than in the dead of winter. Don't think I'd ever want to live in a place like that year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Lafayette, and South Bend's average high temperatures in March 2013 are running 4 to 6.8º colder than March 2012's average low temperatures...through the 25th. Bloomington and Evansville pretty much a push. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Another crap day lining up...33F and clouds...visible doesn't look too kind for sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Another mostly cloudy and cold day here. Up to 36° - hopefully 40° by Thursday. Still holding out for 50° for Easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Completely sunny here and melting snow. Well, we would be even if we were completely overcast...late March and all. 12z GFS might have one to watch for next Monday. Though it's like throwing darts blindfolded, at that range this time of the year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somehow that storm would show up on Monday, I would think it would be a bit north of the one that just departed. Regardless, next week looks cold though.

Chicago WX Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 35º and sunny at 1:00pm. Kinda impressive. Also impressed there's still some snow (non-plowed) on the pavement here in my lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Even the large piles of snow are nearly gone, leaving behind all the rocks te snow plow dumped in my yard... Today will be the last snow cover day here for awhile. Neighborhood is about ~70% covered, but with more sun tomorrow a lot more will be melted by the end of the day. Still a lot of big piles around. Clouds are starting to look non-winterish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Man this airmass is stagnant. Either that or I'm underestimating the power of the late March sun. Temps are above average with a NE flow and ul troughiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 We managed some sunshine (a few hours) and managed 38F...plenty of melting (street was flowing good), but sure felt chilly once the clouds moved back in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Today was the most beautiful day in months it seemed. It reached 38 at my house with full sun after 12pm. I could hear the snow melting off the roof. Went for a walk and the sun warmed my back..... felt so good! 18-20" still on the ground as of today. Looking out a window downstairs in my basement. cool summer cottage down the road thats vacant now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hit 45F here today, a nice amount of sun in the late afternoon. A tad windy at 11mph but the sun feels great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Even the large piles of snow are nearly gone, leaving behind all the rocks te snow plow dumped in my yard... I noticed that....theres all these dirty piles of debris/rock in all the parking lots now that many of the snow piles have melted. Most of the ones that remain are rock-hard black piles of ice lol. Strange day here. Overcast (well thats nothing new lol) and temps would shoot into the low-mid 40s, then a convective snow shower would hit and wet (not whiten) the ground causing temps to fall to the mid-upper 30s, then once the snow shower passed it would shoot up to the low 40s again...then back down to the mid-upper 30s with the next snow shower. And so on and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clouds are starting to look non-winterish. 130326_0002.jpg We went from over 7" to less than 2" in less than 2 days. We had a weak wave move through this afternoon, producing a little snow/sleet/graupel mix. The clouds looked convective, reminded me of building t-storms.
