Jonger Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 That web cam from Twin Lakes is beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes. Places near Twin lakes have received 26" of snow over the past two days. Check out these co-op reports for the UP, from NWS Marquette. The last number is snow depth. I bolded some of the most impressive reports. :Ontonagon County BERM4 : Bergland Dam : DH0800/ 21/ 12/ 0.78/ M/ 8.2/ 41 GNLM4 : Greenland 6N : DH0800/ 27/ 17/ 0.40/ M/ 9.4/ M :Keweenaw County AHKM4 : AHMEEK : DH0700/ 27/ 15/ M/ M/ M/ 28 MHKM4 : Mohawk : DH0800/ 27/ 14/ 0.32/ 1.3/ 4.3/ 35 :Houghton County ATMM4 : Atlantic Mine : DH0900/ M/ M/ 0.43/ M/ 9.0/ 45 JCBM4 : Jacobsville : DH0700/ 28/ 13/ 0.38/ M/ 7.6/ 31 TLKM4 : Twin Lakes : DH0800/ 22/ 12/ 0.79/ M/ 18.5/ 50 :Baraga County WTNM4 : Watton : DH0700/ 20/ 14/ 0.19/ 2.2/ 3.8/ 25 BRGM4 : Baraga 5W : DH0821/ 26/ 12/ 0.22/ M/ 6.4/ 30 :Marquette County CLKM4 : Champion 6E : DH0700/ 25/ 11/ 0.12/ M/ 2.4/ 33 WISM4 : West Ishpeming : DH0700/ 24/ 12/ 0.04/ M/ 1.0/ 31 IHBM4 : Hoist Basin : DH0800/ 24/ 9/ 0.24/ 0.7/ 2.5/ 60 MQT : NWS Marquette : DH0700/ 26/ 9/ T/ 0.2/ 0.6/ 39 GGRM4 : Green Garden : DH0700/ M/ M/ 0.00/ 0.0/ 0.0/ 12 HRVM4 : Harvey : DH0700/ M/ M/ 0.00/ 0.0/ 0.0/ 29 AROM4 : Arnold 2N : DH0700/ M/ M/ M/ M/ 1.0/ 20 GSHM4 : Gwinn/Shag Lake : DH0700/ M/ M/ 0.00/ 0.0/ 0.0/ 26 MIEM4 : Michigamme 3WNW : DH0800/ M/ M/ 0.08/ M/ 3.5/ 30 :Alger County MNSM4 : Munising : DH0630/ 29/ 18/ 0.18/ M/ 1.8/ 40 GMSM4 : Grand Marais 10S: DH0600/ M/ M/ 0.33/ M/ 6.0/ 50 :Delta County GLDM4 : Gladstone : DH0700/ M/ M/ 0.00/ M/ 0.0/ 20 HRKM4 : Gladstone 4NW : DH0700/ M/ M/ 0.01/ M/ 0.2/ 25 GDCM4 : Garden Corners : DH0800/ 32/ 4/ 0.01/ M/ 0.2/ 19 BKRM4 : Bark River 11SSE: DH0810/ M/ M/ T/ M/ T/ 15 RRVM4 : Stonington : DH0700/ 31/ 13/ 0.00/ 0.0/ 0.0/ 13 RPDM4 : Rapid River 4SSE: DH1000/ 30/ 9/ 0.00/ 0.0/ 0.0/ 20 :Schoolcraft County CKSM4 : Cooks : DH0800/ M/ M/ T/ M/ 0.4/ 26 MTQM4 : Manistique WWTP : DH0700/ 30/ 12/ T/ M/ T/ 13 :Luce County NCFM4 : Newberry Cor Fac: DH0800/ 29/ 15/ 0.08/ M/ 2.0/ 29 I really need to find this "Hoist Basin"... Even though it has "Basin" in the title, I think its a high point and possibly in the dreaded Huron Mountains...

Jonger Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Sitting at 24.7F (-7.1F) for the month... Got some work to do if we want to make #1 Looks like top 10 is out of reach, those two days of +14 really sunk the top 10. Probably top 15 is possible... Pretty amazing after last Morch we were told "Its the new climo!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Had a low of 14. Forecast soundings show adiabatic lapse rates up to 800mb with a little bit of cape so some convective snow showers are possible later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I really need to find this "Hoist Basin"... Even though it has "Basin" in the title, I think its a high point and possibly in the dreaded Huron Mountains... The Huron mountains are owned by a wealthy group of naturalists and entry is OFF LIMITS. Elevation is between 1450-1650 feet in the area. I "believe" this is where the Hoist Basin is located near here. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=hoist+basin&hl=en&ll=46.533303,-87.703798&spn=0.010023,0.026157&sll=44.995883,-86.264648&sspn=10.486747,26.784668&hq=hoist+basin&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=46.533303,-87.703798&panoid=4Ff788ayZDqfkeCouUznRA&cbp=12,115.62,,0,7.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm thinking of driving up to Salt. St. Maria Friday evening and going snowshoeing north of there along Lake Superior. There's currently a 4-6 feet of snow in the area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's currently a 4-6 feet of snow in the area! Its amazing up there right now...but dont expect 4-6 feet....probably more like 3 feet. Snow depth at SSM is 29" with 33" in Paradise.

Geos Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Brrr it's cold here! It was cold in SD/WY, but chillier here for the most part. Still have a decent snow cover here as well. Low 13° this morning. Couple of pictures crossing the MS River at La Crosse yesterday. DLL - your area looks like the frozen tundra! lol Excuse the less than clean windows.

daddylonglegs Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 That river has only recently opened... There was actually a guy yesterday out fishing by the dam (which is on the other side of the top pic)... One time many years ago, that bridge you drove across..i WALKED across the Mississippi under it to go ice fishing in pic #2....insane. I'd never do it again. In pic #2 that water is open because of a large box dam (if you ran your boat across that, your motor would smash into rocks)... Yes..its the tundra...today was horrible.

Where I'm going is a ways north of Paradise. In the Lake Superior Provincial Park in Ontario there is about 40" depth at lake level and I'm sure there's at least 60" on the higher hill tops inland of the lake. There are steep bluffs that rise up to 800 feet above the lake level. I think it's safe to say there will still be at least 4 feet some places on Saturday even if it's settling.

weatherbo Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 crazy hvy snow here the past 45 minutes. visibility has been under a 8th mile off and on. over an inch has fallen. Gorgeous area Geos!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 DLL - yeah I wouldn't be too inclined to walk across a large river that far south. Lake Onalaska sure, due to the stiller water. Nice drifting up on the bluffs in MN yesterday. High only 21° today. Over -20° from normal. These giant icicles were really cool along 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's currently a 4-6 feet of snow in the area! Any particular reason you choose the Soo? There's a snowshoe trail by Grand Marais... They have about 2 feet more than the Soo right now.

Chicago WX Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 It's probably played out, but IND was 50 degrees colder today versus last year on this date...33º vs 83º. Max temperature departures wise, that's -21º vs +29º. Neat extremes in either direction really...especially one year apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Didn't think we'd do it, but LAF pulled off a sub 30º high today. Very cool. March 20, 2012: 85º March 20, 2013: 29º 56º difference. Remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
