There's certainly been some abysmal days in there, I'm not totally a masochist. ;) But overall, it's been bonus time for this self-professed winter lover/hater of heat and humidity. Alas, I'm running out of time.

Monthly mean temperatures and departures from normal at LAF going back to last meteorological Fall. In late response to the local weather guy's claim that it's been warmer than normal in that timeframe, in Lafayette. Maybe Hoosier can let him know. :D

October: 50.6º -3.7º

November: 39.7º -3.1º

December: 36.9º +6.5º

January: 27.8º +1.3º

February: 29.2º -1.3º

...WHEN WILL ROCKFORD FINALLY REACH 70 DEGREES THIS SPRING?...

ROCKFORD IL HAS YET TO REACH 70 DEGREES THIS YEAR...WHICH IS
NOTABLE BECAUSE THE AVERAGE FIRST 70 DEGREE DAY OF THE SEASON IS
APRIL 2ND. THE LATEST FIRST 70 DEGREE DAY EVER IN ROCKFORD WAS MAY
6TH 1971. IF ROCKFORD GOES THROUGH SATURDAY WITHOUT REACHING 70
THIS YEAR WILL BE THE 2ND LATEST FIRST 70 DEGREE DAY EVER IN

HERE ARE THE CURRENT TOP 3 LATEST FIRST 70 DEGREE DAYS IN ROCKFORD:

1) MAY 06 1971

3) APR 26 1984

WITH A HIGH OF 52 DEGREES TODAY...THIS YEAR ALREADY WILL AT LEAST
TIE FOR THE 3RD LATEST FIRST 70 DEGREE DAY ON RECORD IN ROCKFORD.
BASED ON THE CURRENT FORECAST...IF 70 IS NOT REACHED
TOMORROW (THE FORECAST HIGH IS 67)...SUNDAY OR MONDAY WOULD BE
THE NEXT BEST SHOT.

...MORE COOL SPRING WEATHER STATISTICS...

THE NUMBER OF DAYS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW 45 DEGREES
IN CHICAGO THIS SPRING HAS BEEN WELL ABOVE NORMAL. CHICAGO HAS
SEEN 33 DAYS AT OR BELOW 45 DEGREES AND ROCKFORD HAS SEEN 32 DAYS
AT OR BELOW 45 DEGREES.

THE NORMAL OR AVERAGE NUMBER OF DAYS 45 DEGREES OR LESS IN
METEOROLOGICAL SPRING IN CHICAGO IS 25 DAYS...AND 21 DAYS IN
ROCKFORD. THE 33 DAYS AT OR BELOW 45 IN CHICAGO TIES A FEW OTHER
YEARS AS THE 18TH MOST ON RECORD IN CHICAGO AND IS THE HIGHEST

December has been the only month that was noticeably warmer to the laymen observer since July. It's been a mostly normal, trending to only below normal weather since July.

Pretty miserable day trying to get some fishing in..  either rivers were still to high or the lakes too cold with 3 foot waves lol..  On the plus side every lake I went to had at least two and as many as several  :loon:  not including me.

 

Will try again tomorrow with the nieces..  County Parks are stocked with trout and jumbo perch for the kids and the winds will be a lot lighter.
