snowfan Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 No surprise that the showers didn't make it to mby last night. Feels great out this am. AC off and windows open. Might be the best day yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Looks like they don't let snow cancel school in Minneapolis. That snow would have shut down the counties around here for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 2" and the back edge is just about on him (a little south of MSP). However, he does have thunder, so that's something. edit - actually, the NAM might end up not as bad, it was the GFS that was spitting out well over an inch snow qpf up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Weird storm. Craziest was maybe places that got 1/4" ice after a day around 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 WCs currently in the -10s pushing -20 on the summits in the whites in NNE this morning. Can't imagine what it would be like living in a place that never sees a high temp above the low-mid 70s throughout the year and has maybe a 2-3 months during the year without the threat of snow.

As we saw last year with the Henryville, IN tornado, a school isn't a safe place to be in a tor. Of course, a shoddy built house or mobile home isn't either, but you're at least with your family.

MN Transplant Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Running 2-3 degrees behind yesterday at home, similar to IAD. DCA is stuck with a river wind and BWI has an easterly bay wind, so they are well off yesterday's pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Sea breeze front (also cold front?) showing up on Dover radar moving into MD eastern shore. Nice temp contrast across it.
