Chicago WX Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'm really looking forward to seeing some 80 degree dewpoints in your area! Freeze warnings into June up your way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Debatable. 90 and cloudy isn't so bad. lol, no. But we'll compromise and go low 70's and sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Ended up with 1.2" of sleet (and maybe some snow?) at my home in Etobicoke. Really tight gradient across the western half of Toronto. Only a faint dusting of sleet where I work in Mississauga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 That's an impressive amount of sleet. Congrats man it sure beats rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Nearly 2 and a quarter inches of rain here last night in the Elkhart/Goshen area. Yeah, I would rather have a few days of warm and sunny skies but I do appreciate this highly unusual storm system we have just experienced across our nation and the fact that mother nature is truly choosing to swing the pendulum from last year's record setting March and then somewhat cooler April. I do enjoy the variety and surprises nature has in store even if it doesn't meet my expectations. That's why weather is so fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 That's an impressive amount of sleet. Congrats man it sure beats rain. Got me to almost exactly normal snowfall on the season so it wasn't just a nuisance. Hanging out at 32 now. I'll try to pull an ice storm this evening but it'll be a close call. Looks like you'll get your chance at frozen around D7. And you can have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Tonight should be interesting for Toronto. If all the precip falls as freezing rain overnight it'll be a nightmare for the morning commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Tonight should be interesting for Toronto. If all the precip falls as freezing rain overnight it'll be a nightmare for the morning commute. Dewpoints still well below freezing. But I'm wondering if heavy precip will induce latent heat release, since it's going to get very warm aloft (~+10c at 850) and actually mitigate any potential icing.

I'll try to pull an ice storm this evening but it'll be a close call. Looks like you'll get your chance at frozen around D7. And you can have it. Up to 3.7" of rain this week. Good luck with the ice storm.. I'd pass on that though. This winter really turned around after the bad start for us all thankfully. Kudo's to michigansnowfreak calling for a back loaded winter. That pic looks way better than puddles in the grass. Nice man cave shed outback in case the GF kicks you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 This is the snow depth down by the river and in the woods. 6-9" mostly. Sure looks and feels like winter. Temp down to 29 with a dp of 17 and a gusty 30 mph wind at times... steady sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though i'm in the mood for some warmth and that doesnt look likely over the next week either Temperatures at 0.0C at my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Have had bursts of "heavy drizzle" this afternoon. Picked up 0.12" of rain for the day. Very miserable day to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Today was definitely the worst of the 4 days of rain. 37 degrees and .50" of non-stop drizzle/light rain/wind from daybreak to it looks like sunset now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Long end to winter for the deer.. at least winter started late and it wasn't too cold. for sure! any areas that have opened up in fields, you'll see herds by the 50. have had straight snow cover for over 4 months now, and yes the snow cover was a month late up this way. moderate freezing rain now with sleet too. getting nasty fast.

I was really hoping and thinking this crap would be over by mid-month. There is still on average 2' of ice up north with reports of even 30"+ yet and opening weekend of fishing is may 4th I believe. Might be ice fishing this yr or stuck to the rivers up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Impressive sleet accumulations up there in Toronto. Only a 'dusting' of sleet here, mostly in the afternoon hours. Decent layer of ice on trees, lines, cars and now beginning to coat the sidewalk (although very thinly). Temp -1.2C, dewpoint -1.9C Winds starting to ramp up now. Trees are making a crackling noise when moving in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Lots of standing water in the farm fields around here. Hopefully it dries up a bit in coming weeks for the farmers. I have no skill at long range forecasting, but a hot and dry summer sure doesn't seem likely just by the way this year "feels". Mosquitoes are gonna be horrible this spring I think.

michsnowfreak Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The only thing that shows its april is the green grass...tulips are growing. Speaking of grass...Im wondering if anyone else in SE MI noticed the grass. It literally went from winter dormant to spring green overnight.

michsnowfreak Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Ain't pretty, but winter's hanging on by a thread... IMG_1322.JPG Id take that over cold rain! Thats more pure sleet than I can ever recall seeing, and in April no less. Be interesting to see how long it takes to melt. In winter this would have made a wonderful base for snowpack....but it is now almost mid-April. So what does that put YBY at (not sure if your sig updated)...was it 50 for you or Toronto?

Ottawa Blizzard Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Temperatures are so borderline I'm wondering if this will be an ice storm in the end. It's good that Environment Canada has notified the public of the potential though.Brett Anderson doesn't think the precip arrives until around 11pm.

wisconsinwx Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The last two days have been a snoozefest, especially today. It's been raw and awful, but as per usual with this pattern, the temperature departure won't quite reflect the weather, as the lows are having a difficult time making it below freezing. Been a blowing mist or light rain all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 According to STATS, the game time temperature of 35F at the start of todays Tigers game made this the coldest baseball game in Detroit since April 9, 1996 when the game time temp was 34F.

cyclone77 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Might see a few snow showers around here tomorrow night. May even see some snow pellets/we flakes mix in with some rain showers tomorrow afternoon. Even though there's a chance at some snow in the long-range, there's a chance tomorrow could be the last day of the season with flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
