SpartyOn Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Eh, every summer won't be a scorcher. Those that continue to ride the hot summer theme, for no other reason than using the past three as their basis, will be burned soon...no pun intended. We're overdue for a cool or around normal summer here in central Indiana. Didn't know you guys had cool summers in and around the tropics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Nabbed a record here this morning with a low of 22. Old record was 23. Yesterdays high of 38 just missed the record by 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hopefully the fake cold sticks around for summer. Last summer had a lot of fake warmth. If the dewpoints had been around 80 rather than low 60s it would have only been in middle to upper 90s rather than triple digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Good to get some shooting in adverse conditions.. Must have really cut like a knife if it penetrated your gear. Gonna have to get a neck warmer sewed in Indeed. Only issue is ammunition is coming up short these days. Try finding some .22 LR or 9mm, its a beeatch.

When I arrived yesterday morning I noticed some rooftops still had a dusting of snow similiar to ours, but the day ended up "warmer" than back in Detroit, complete with full sun (partly sunny and flurries at home). Yet I still froze wearing a hoodie and no coat. Back home tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Kind of an unusual point and click forecast for here Tue night lol. Tuesday Night A chance of rain and snow. Some thunder is also possible.

BowMeHunter Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Indeed. Only issue is ammunition is coming up short these days. Try finding some .22 LR or 9mm, its a beeatch. Yeah its total BS.. Marcus from the Eastern WX days would have a better chance of finding Bigfoot than 22LR and 9mm ammo Homeland Security bought up Billions of rounds for "practice" and then there is the hoarders who are hoarding for w/e stupid reasons (get rich quick ) Probably watching too much The Walking Dead or are too gullible. Just keep checking the neighborhood stores that sell ammo when you're out and have time and you might get lucky.. I have once, but its usually the same ole same ole "should have been here yesterday or you just missed it" as you know and are finding out the 22lr and 9mm ammo sells out about as fast as it hits the shelves. W/E you do - don't pay the ridiculous prices that the hoarders/get rich fast and gun show guys are trying to get for it. that just feed the shortage fire. couple places you can check at and might get lucky but even then its like finding a needle in a haystack of late. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemListing.aspx?catid=736 You can set this last link and it will alert you when something is posted for sale on other sites http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemListing.aspx?catid=736 One last thing that worked well for us is if you have a Fleet Farm by you.. have an associate write down the product number for whatever kind of ammo you want, then bring it up to the front service desk, they take that number and punch it in the computer along with your name and number and how many boxes of that product you would like. And they will give you a call when their computer says they got that brand and caliber of ammo in stock. It's a will call system that worked very well and was free to use. Can't wait for the day when 22lr is on the clearance racks and the hoarders/gun show folks are begging people to buy a brick for $20 and not the 90+ they're getting for them now. Sorry for the totally off topic random post and I was just going to send him a personal message but I thought, screw it, maybe others (like Aleksa) are also having a hard time finding ammo and this OT post might help him or her a little. Anyways.. Just another typical April day this month. lower 40's, mostly cloudy with a raw wind coming off the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I am sure the people around MSP love seeing this in the forecast for tonight Monday Night Snow, mainly before 5am. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 29. North wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 6 to 10 inches possible. Not to be outdone in Duluth though Monday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 26. North wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 way better than cold flooding rain or a tornado. On the other hand when the snow really starts melting in MN,WI,MI they better make sure their sump pumps are up to the task.. saying temps of 60-65 up in Duluth on Sunday.. This is just the spring Lake Superior needed though. Just another 8-12" on top of the dumping last week for ashland and bayfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 what a morning.. 44 - sun - and light wind. Going to take it all in and do as much raking as I can before the rain.. After that I'm escaping the afternoon lake breeze and heading inland to the 60's and soak a bobber or 2 and see if I can't catch dinner. Why I rarely watch the morning news.. The University of Wisconsin has a current budget surplus of one billion dollars. Keep raising tuition cost for rich parents to send turtles to. Or just borrow unconscionable amounts of money through the federal student loan program to pay outrageous tuition's. Glad I'm not growing up today. Random post, rant, over.

daddylonglegs Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Euro still pumps major heat into the N Plains...looks like we get brushed by it, so should be good for a 60F or 2... I still not so sure about Friday hitting 60F, at least looking at the Euro... maybe i'm missing something....6z GFS also looks doubtful on Friday for 60F... i say this, because that is the record date for latest 60F...so we make it to Saturday, and we set new record All that snow north of here, just reinforces the cold here, if/when the winds turn north.
