TimChgo9 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Cold and gray here. Going to be around 30 for the high I think. Nice end of week warm-up, but will still be below normal for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosaints Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Some peeks of sunshine this morning, but clouds still rule... Looks like Thursday before we see 40Fs again. One nice thing i'm seeing is very light winds in the forecast, which should make it feel warmer with late March sunshine. 50F possible by Sat. Some models runs are spitting out crap loads of rain for next week. Man I hope not. We would have problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 March2013.jpg March2012.jpg Here's a pretty remarkable before and after shot taken March 27, 2012 and March 25, 2013. Tulips were fully bloomed and leaves out. This year no buds and tulips haven't popped out of the ground yet! NICE!! That's the kind of contrast I was looking for. Really kicking myself for not taking pics last March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Very bright out there with the fresh 2" of cover. Starting to melt already over paved areas as the sun is starting to pop out. Temps should reach several degrees above freezing today, so I'm sure most of the snow will melt, even in the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Still -9F here for the month... mostly clouds here...had a little sun around noon. still possible to end the month without a 50F... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Up to 37 now. The brightness of earlier is already gone, as the 2" of snow has already melted away except in shaded areas. The late March sun is considerably more powerful than even earlier this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 This March overall was meh, the definition of meh. Cold, which is preferable only when there is a fair amount of snow. Snowfall will come in around average, so nothing special, and endless cool and cloudy weather gets old for a month (and severe season around here probably won't start until late May at least thanks to lake breezes and cold water temps). Hopefully April is more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Should make it close to 50 as early as Thursday, and should be in the 50s over the weekend. Gonna feel extremely nice after the cold March. Now that we got one last snow in I'm 100% ready for warmer weather. Can't wait to hit to open road chasing in coming weeks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Stuck in the clouds today with passing LES-. Sitting at 35°, -12° from normal. Can't wait for some 40s! Is that too much to ask for the last several days of March? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Seems the largest negative anomalies are along and west of the Mississippi. Has anyone out there experienced a top 5 or better coldest march out that way. I'm mostly thinking La Cross might have had a top 5. This is the 2nd coldest March in the last 35 years in Lansing, second to 1984. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OntarioWX Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 This March hasn't been bad for me. I've seen enough snow to keep me satisfied with this winter and not completely bored by this weather. The cold without much snow has kind of sucked but it's been kind of nice to have two colder-than-average months in a row which hasn't happened since March-April 2011. Snow has definitely been frequent enough, even if the largest snow I saw was 3.5" (and not even in Hamilton.) Hamilton's largest snowfall this month was a paltry 2.4". The next 10 days looks painfully boring but I'm willing to wait if it means we get a good severe outbreak because of it. More than ready for spring at this point, the anticipation of warmer weather is definitely in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 IMO this March has been chilly and gray but still knowhere near as extreme as last March. Even the chill has been muted so to speak. Nothing to write home about. Its Michigan and Marches typically are chilly and raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Got back yesterday from my Northern Ontario trip.
