Could get some 45mph southerly gusts this afternoon. Still looking like 71-73. Gonna have to do some grillin for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Moderate non-sticking snow here gonna last all afternoon. I don't understand winter weenies who want this mood flake stuff in April. It doesn't count for anything if it doesn't stick, not even "stat padding". This weather is as useless as 37 degree rain in my book. Might hit 60 in the middle of the night tonight before heading downhill again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Been snowing here for over an hour... Not sure why my forecast has no mention of snow today. Yea. Half dollar flakes coming down and melting on contact here. Water trickling off the roof makes it sound like it's raining though. If this was January sun angle it wouldn't be 37. It would be 32 and sticking. I lived in Seattle for 4 years and they get this kind of **** all the time. Sometimes the vertical temperature gradient is so ridiculously steep off the sound that you just walk 50 feet up the hill from sea level and there's suddenly an inch of slush.

frostfern Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I'm getting stickage again at 36 degrees. Snowing as hard as the heaviest snowstorm in winter. White on the ground will disappear again as soon as +SN goes to back to -SN though. Pointless if you don't measure continuously. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I've noticed GRR is reluctant to put thunder in the forecast these days. All I see is "showers" in my 8 day forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Had some snow showers this morning, then a few rain showers (just enough to squeeze out 0.01" liquid). This was our 3rd trace of snow in April (1st, 13th, 14th), but as of now our last measurable snow of the season was on March 25th when 0.6" fell. As of now...2012-13 snow season:First flakes: October 29th Last flakes: April 14th (watch out this Fri/Sat?) First measurable: November 23rd (0.1")Last measurable: March 25th (0.6") Side note: this was the 67th day snow was observed for the 2012-13 season. For comparison, snow was observered on just 49 days in the 2011-12 season but on 82 days during the 2010-11 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I've noticed GRR is reluctant to put thunder in the forecast these days. All I see is "showers" in my 8 day forecast. They're counting on warm sector instability never reaching that far north. It's expected to waver north and south of here over the next few days, but we'll see. Last week it never really made it past the Ohio border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Noticed a few traces of snow on the ground in Kenosha today (northside) around 10am, but long gone by now. Sun is breaking out and up to 43° now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Been a beautiful day until the clouds and yuk moved in. This is the snow that's still left in my yard as of today. I'm thinking another week is all it has left. Made it to 41 under full sun..... felt nice enough to get out and enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 3.68" of rain recorded in Kitchener during the first 12 days of April with 3.57" of that between the 8-12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 It was cloudy, breezy, and cold this morning, but then the warm front came through. We are now partly sunny and in the low 70s... warmest day of the year. Maybe the better-than-expected temp will help get us a good storm later. The line of storms is just beginning to fire in western Iowa. I don't understand the nws sometimes. Their forecast was consistently for mid 60s here today. Then, early this afternoon while the temp was soaring into the 70s, they actually lowered the highs to "steady in the low 60s". They did this one day about a week ago as well. wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Global_Warmer Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 80/41. Very dry. Winds are blustery. gusted to 38 mph a bit ago. I love this weather. As a kid I would have made it snow all year. But I can accept the winter as is and appreciate this amazing weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 3.68" of rain recorded in Kitchener during the first 12 days of April with 3.57" of that between the 8-12th. Impressive numbers. That has to be least a month's worth in 4 days. What are your thoughts on flooding for next week? HPC initially had over 3" rain for this week, but has now scaled that back to around 2-2.5" (still significant, imo). Rivers are already higher than normal and the ground is very saturated. Trees haven't leafed either meaning little to no transpiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just light snow, but enough for me to get the usual out-of-season-snow texts from various people Maybe not heavy in terms of reducing visibility but it was very large flakes coming down pretty densely. I'd say it was briefly coming down at a 2" an hour rate had it been below freezing. Grass looked like BowMe's pics briefly. Just melted in 30 minutes after it stopped.
