BowMeHunter Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Nothing too impressive on the cams this morning in wi.. Seems like the storm was kinda a dud in parts of nw WI. NE wisconsin did ok though. Green Bay tacked on to their 70"+ winter.. They've been killing it up there the past 3 winters or so. North of Green Bay. Nice Friday AM scene to wake up to and enjoy a cup or 3 of Java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Still stuck on 37 degrees... Off to go check the rivers and lake michigan tribs out.. probably un-fishable but should be some good flood viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 06z gfs is almost a total disaster for WI if your looking for spring. definitely would be ice on the lakes up north for the opener of fishing season if that verified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 2.12" the final storm total at LAF. Cold start to April has been wiped out with the recent torch here, now at +0.6º for the month. Though we'll slip back to below after the next couple of days. Then back above early next week...then back the other way, then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Friday AM scene to wake up to and enjoy a cup or 3 of Java. I could tell it wouldn't be great yesterday when the snow band was fairly thin and quick moving. Besides the Lake Superior counties, I think most of NW Wisconsin had under 3" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 About 9mm or 0.35" or ice accumulation overnight. Power outages around town (trees on lines) and over 120K customers in Southern Ontario out of power. Some gusts up to 45knots last night. Pretty good storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I've had over 4 inches of liquid over the past 5 days. Next system doesn't look very wet, but the one after that could mean trouble. Could handle this if it was late spring or summer with a warm sun and green vegetation to soak up the water. Unfortunately the soil conditions are still very winter-like which could lead to some serious flooding if we get another big rainstorm next week.

frostfern Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 GRR talking about freezing rain potential north of I-96 on Wednesday. That while the I-80 corridor basks in 70 degree temperatures. Now the 12z GFS is getting close suicide watch territory in the long range. Keeps pushing the warmup back and back again. Just like winter kept getting pushed back in December and January, now spring is the same deal. And I thought the long range was looking bad 6 days ago. I'm with Alek. Summer cancel. Punt till eternity. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the clearest wx cams I've seen. --- Wow Harrisale, that's a lot of ice for April! --- Sitting at 40° and cloudy this morning. Supposed to be 44° or so today.

SchaumburgStormer Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Drink heavily. Additional 0.25" since this morning, and still raining at the moment, puts us over 2" for the event. Not as bad as I thought it would be out here. Chilly obviously, but manageable. Ball not flying real well in the cold, and I did blade a 5 iron shot earlier and I am pretty sure my hands are still tingling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Wow, WGN in-house model calling for mid to upper 70s on Sunday! Don't really believe it though. Skilling going with 64-72°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 2.12" the final storm total at LAF. Cold start to April has been wiped out with the recent torch here, now at +0.6º for the month. Though we'll slip back to below after the next couple of days. Then back above early next week...then back the other way, then... Interesting. DTW is at -3.7º and GRR is at -4.7º for the month (through 4/11). I hadn't realized how tight the gradient has apparently been on these warmups. Looking at the extended, I'm not seeing a path to get to an above normal average for the month for lower MI. We should be nearly at 60/40 at DTW and it looks like we'll reach or exceed on that on Monday within the next week and that's about it. For DTW, FMA 2013 would be the first three-month below normal temp run since DJF 2010-2011. The last four-month below normal temp run was MJJA 2009.

michsnowfreak Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Had another 0.90" of rain imby between 8am yesterday and 8am today. So the April 10-12th total was 2.53" (total for the week 2.64"). Will have to look at obs to estimate what fell on what calendar days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Snowing kinda hard with some lake enhancement a little. Roads are slush now and roofs are melting off too. Tonight will be another story. About 630-7, it will start sticking better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Downed trees and branches in the city power officials say it'll take up to 18 hours to restore to everyone. State of emergency for western Waterloo Region maybe other areas. Massive damage in rural areas with snapped power poles and fallen trees may take a week to restore power in those areas.

daddylonglegs Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 36F here...the 1.8" of snow we had this morning was gone by lunch time... At least its been a dry day. River is near flood stage here, but not expected to go any higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I am surprised people follow the GFS right now. It isn't pumping its heights far enough northwest and is the outlier among the globals. Long range is always prone to change, especially in the warm season. The Euro has more warmth and t-storm potential next week, but it's similarly cold afterwards. So possibly one nice day this weekend with a shot at 60s, another mild rainy period where we may or may not break into the warm sector, then another brutal onslaught of cold. I know snow weenies would like the GFS but I highly doubt we'll see a snowstorm. Minneapolis, maybe. I'll pass on nickle and dime snow dustings in April.

Major ice storm here Saw the pictures this morning on the TWN and it was showing the damage you're describing. We escaped here with just a bit of freezing rain for a couple hours during the night. I'll pass on the ice storm - did that routine in April 2003 and it was a real mess.... How did you fair IYBY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Yeah something like how last Morch played out - just later. With the lake being close and all, I've seen some drastic temp jumps like that before in May.

frostfern Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Afterwords is in truncation so that is not a good timeframe much less 120+ which is prone to huge shifts. I'm not taking it verbatim, but even if the post-frontal cold snap is short lived it will already be rather late into April by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
