michsnowfreak Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Snow completely melted off the paved areas and a bit of the roof too today with almost no sun. High 24°. We were cloudy all and there was zero melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 We were cloudy all and there was zero melting. There was about 15-20 minutes worth of sun. It was enough... Cloud deck was really thin. Most of the time you could see the outline of the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Snow completely melted off the paved areas and a bit of the roof too today with almost no sun. High 24°. Still plenty of snow and ice from last night's refresher on area streets in these parts this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Still plenty of snow and ice from last night's refresher on area streets in these parts this evening. Really! Not around here. My driveway is really clean and the side streets aren't A+, but definitely I'd give them an A-. I think it helps that two snow plow drivers for Beach Park live here though.

cyclone77 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Weather station measured 0.06" of precip today from melting snow in the gauge. First time it's measured precip from melting snow with temps below freezing. Sun getting stronger by the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 another -20 morning here. still 30"+ of snow but the top foot or more is all powder and not glacier, so could melt fairly quick. the bottom 2' isn't going anywhere fast. Local Met said he fully expects areas to still have snow by May. Also ice cover is now 91% total for the Great Lakes.... just surpassed 1994.

daddylonglegs Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Absolute glacier around here. Cannot believe the staying power of this stuff My neighbor and I were discussing how much we love all the snow, the extreme cold and the large utilities bills, the horrible gas mileage. NAEFS is just a cruel joke at this point. I won't post it anymore but its the same as yesterday I really have my doubts on March seeing anything 50F or better...maybe late in the month that will occur. I still remember biking with shorts/tshirt in March :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yup... the stretch starting today through next week almost looks tropical compared to where we've been...lots of upper 20Fs, 30Fs and even a 40F or better in the cards... i'll take it. Should be able to melt some snow in the next week. Someone I know was talking to an owner of a fishing camp in Canada (Ontario) and they were using extensions on their ice augers the ice is so thick up there...3 or 4 feet is what my buddy was figuring.

Geos Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Above freezing temps, sun with windy conditions will really eat this powdery snow up. Sun trying to break out here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Mix of sun and clouds... I'm walking from Wisconsin to Canada... i'll start in Ashland ...wish me luck Big lake ice scares me too much. I sledded from Boyne City to Charlevoix on Lake Charlevoix which was around 10 miles and had to pry loose my fingers from the grips. Looking at Lake MI in Charlevoix, looks just like the webcam in Barrow, AK... quite a sight to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sunny now with temps rising above 20°. City streets are wet with a little slush now. Two years ago today was the last day of seasonable weather for early the rest of March. "Morch Torch" started on the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Lake MI in Charlevoix, looks just like the webcam in Barrow, AK... quite a sight to see. I can honestly say I've walked across the Mississippi River (this year its common) about 10 years back. I won't do it ever again (don't trust that, even in a super cold year like this). There will be open water in areas within days if we stay above freezing. It doesn't take much to open back up. Mostly sunshine here now...seems like the clouds have moved on. With the fresh snow, a ton of reflection (sunglasses). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Polar Bears haven't migrated down to the Great Lakes this winter. Looks like all the ice is heading to this shoreline now. Near 20° with full sun right now.

daddylonglegs Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 23F and sunshine here... feels oddly warm outside. Showing 3F tonite, but after that it looks like a nice mild stretch...Sun/Mon/Tues look outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Perhaps a weekend ice fishing trip might be in store on Lake St. Claire. Temps will be moderating and lots of ice, the angle of the sun might even have the perch coming back to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Already down to 9 degrees as the sun begins to set. Beautiful afternoon with a high of 17 here.... felt much warmer. most roads still snow covered although in East Jordan, they were becoming somewhat slushy.

Geos Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Temp not supposed to drop much tonight thanks to an onshore flow. Currently 17°. 9.9" of snow for the month so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
