cyclone77 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Got down to 29 this morning here. Only 47 so far today, but feels much better than that with the sun and how cold it was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 it was only in the uppers 30's out but the sun sure warms the inside of the car up with the windows closed.. it was like getting in to a green house the first two times until I finally smartened up and left my window open some.. wife wasn't impressed when getting in to the car the 3rd time. Avg high up to 55. only 1 degree above the avg high at INL and 1 degree below the avg at Rhinelander, WI. and 6 degrees colder than La Torch - La Crosse's 61 avg. Lake Michigan FTL in Fall and Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 That deep snow pack in Canada/MN/WI sure isn't helping to modify the cold shots.. southerly winds can cure that problem and we have the sun angle on our side big times obviously going in to the last part of april.

Jonger Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Looks like the NWS is injecting skill into the forecast now.... Usually they just call for above normal temps and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Watching news coverage of Boston and DC.... DC looks like mid summer and Boston looks 2 weeks ahead of us. The cold air that's dominated in the Plains and Upper Midwest this April hasn't made it to the East Coast, unlike in March when we were both below normal. I live just north of NYC, and a lot of the common deciduous trees are starting to grow leaves as well as full bloom for cherries, magnolia, Bradford pears, apples, and dogwood. The vegetative growth was a bit behind here but warmed up quickly with the last few mild days...we got ahead of that slow-moving stationary front that dumped the heavy rains back your way, and that gave us a few days of warm southerly flow. Central Park is +1.1F for the month of April, and DC is a whopping +5.2 this April. We are looking at a major cool-down now, however. I'm supposed to get to 33F tonight, and this is a little late for my last frost, as it's usually around April 10-15. Highs in the next four days will only be in the mid 50s here, so I still think NYC can finish the month below normal. Today and tomorrow look close to -10F departures with lows in the 30s and highs only reaching the 50s. DC will probably finish in the +2 to +3 range, mild but nowhere near as warm as they've been. Interesting to see how the unseasonable cold that's penetrated most of this country has not touched us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Fantasy land GFS makes one want to get nude. Sure hope its right.. I'm itching to do some gill and crappie fishing not in winter wx gear. Can taste them just thinking about it. Checked a few lakes in waukesha out from shore and it was quite depressing.. no signs of spring vegetation and freezing cold waters.. Looked like the the first half of Dec 2012 but only colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Here in Toledo we don't even have an inkling of leaves yet, seriously everything is extremely bare with buds only at my house. The grass is green however and the spring flowers have sprouted, but we need some 60 degree temps to kick start this thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 only buds and green seen up here today was of the smoking variety. really need a couple days of true torch like most have seen already and we'll be off to the races. thank gawd because it's getting depressing out there with no snow. 6 months now of bare tree's and brown grass even gets to an ice pu$$ie.

Jonger Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Certain types of maples have red buds of some sort.... I see an occasional shrub with green buds. Weeping willows also have some green buds. That's it for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Just like that. they have us above normal through next yr this time. If NWS needs to cut jobs - they could start with a few @ CPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 lets do this for more than an hr before lake breeze weenies the forecast over. MONDAY PARTLY SUNNY WITH A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS. HIGHS IN THE LOWER 60S. SOUTH WINDS 5 TO 15 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 45º in the LAF today. Makes for back to back -20º departures with high temperatures. Majority of area courses still closed today due to the flooding/very wet conditions. Not like temps were conducive to golf today anyway. Graphic on IND's page has the Wabash River here cresting at 25.61 feet, but 15 minute highest text data has 25.52 EDIT: 25.61 showed up in the text. Either way, 8th highest on record...going back well into the 1800's. Kinda amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 That Wabash river prediction at LAF is also astonishing given the construction of the reservoirs upriver on the Wabash, Mississinewa, and Salamonie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Nice mix of warm and cold high temps in April so far in the LAF.
