Geos Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Great pics Bo! I guess you won't be picnicing anytime soon. Side by side comparison of Lake Michigan 5 days apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Geos- We can fix that: Do people ice fish on Lake Michigan? In the bays i'm sure its fine, but what about the main lake? Is that insane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's really windy during that time, the lake will stay more open. No people really don't ice fish on the lake. Maybe up towards Bo, they do...

BowMeHunter Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Inside the break walls and harbors from Kenosha to Port gets pounded by ice fisherman.. Out in to main lake a no go and its world class fishery inside the harbors anyways. But with all the ice this yr they've been able to get away and fish area's that normally do not have access to which has made it a crazy good yr for some.

Chicago WX Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 36F here now. Got up to 39F. Strange seeing it warmer up north. IKK only made it to 36F Lots of hot air blowing around, from some of the Lakes/OV posters in Chicago. And good shots. My parents said they lost a little today, but still going strong. Though their depth was ridiculous to begin with...snow thrower tainted and they always retain it well anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really didn't realized how deep it was until I walked through the yard. Lost more yesterday than today. Still ice on the driveway today in the shaded area from the melting yesterday.

michsnowfreak Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks. Definitely lost more yesterday. I'll take another pic tomorrow morning. We actually lost more in DEPTH yesterday with a high of 34F (3" lost) than today with a high of 44F (another 2" lost)...but today was when the scenic appeal of the snow took a huge hit, dirty snow piles on busy roads, sloppy around the edges, a much more tattered appearance, etc. As much as I hated the sun today, the sunset was a nice hue in the sky. neighbors chopping ice in the street with a hatchet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hit 44 today. Lost maybe another few inches, but not as much as yesterday. Probably still a good 6-7" of cement left. Gonna take a lot longer to melt what's left as dense as it is. Rain gauge measured 0.46" of liquid yesterday as the snow in the gauge finally melted. Showing 0.00" for today, so I guess that was it. Just in time since now it will be able to measure tonight/tomorrow's rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Well all of the crap that was on the sidewalk has mostly melted off (with a little help of some ice melter), so that's a plus. On the flip side, the city's side streets are truly a hot ****ing mess as the packed-down snow has turned to slush. Everyone and their damn momma decided it would be a good idea to come out in the warmth and sunshine, so traffic was also awful (even with the kids being out of school).

Geos Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Incredible picture Snow Freak! Looks like a Willow tree. Temp bouncing around a little bit with the cloud cover moving in. Little ice on the ground on the north side of the house, but wet where the sun was shining earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to work so I ran around for some neighborhood shots that day but if only I had the time to find a more scenic spot....freezing fog, as rare as it is, can create astounding scenes.

cyclone77 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Big shield of rain is quickly approaching. Looks like most of the lightning is staying further south in Missouri for now. Hope to get some boomers late tonight. Actually looking forward to the sound of a downpour hitting the roof believe it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
