hawkeye_wx Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 There is quite a temp spread across Iowa. Currently it is 28 with light snow in Estherville(nw) and 70 in Shenandoah(sw). A week of 40s and 50s has melted nearly all of our snow. I remember thinking it would take a long time to melt our huge piles, but they vanished quickly.

Geos Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Chilly temperatures, but the mixed sun today has helped it be tolerable. Lots of people outside today doing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I saw a bunch of drunk posting last night from him and then it getting deleting and him posting even more getting pissed about it. Then he sent a few people some unsavory messages after the fact. I'm sure there was probably more on top of all of that.this sucks. he is one of my favorite posters.

cyclone77 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's like the Hunger Games around here this last week lol. Yeah I was surprised at how fast the remaining snow melted too. The strength of the sun seems to grow more exponentially than in linear fashion once we get deeper into March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 After the sun today, tons of grass showing today, even in residential areas. I notice there really is no rhyme or reason to the remaining snow. I have seen some peoples yards that are entirely covered and some that are entirely bare. It hasnt looked this bare since Dec 30th (of course the brown, matted down grass and large snowbanks are much more extreme now than late Dec). I have seen sections of grass with standing pools of water as well. I am calling depth 2" but thats just a rough rough average. I could easily see someone in this area go with a T depth or 4" depth based on the condition of their yard, I try and do a general average. I would say by Tue or Wed we will go down to a T. The grasses brown, matted down appearance is very noticeable from a winters worth of heavy snowpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yeah most of my lawn looks like your pictures Josh. Will take some breezy and mild days to "fluff" it up again. --- Pretty cloudy now. I have yet to see a snowfall report east of the Mississippi yet today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Pretty much, or at the very least have a bit of a filter if you are drunk. Having a filter while drunk is a challenge not many of us are up to, I would think..... I know I don't have one... Therefore, that's why I don't drink and post....

Geos Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 NE flow seems to drying out the atmosphere before any radar returns can get in here. Did notice some -SN reports in NW IL. Sounds like BowMe just needs a time out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Iowa is a good place to live if you like winter, but also like a little breather from it too... We have good friends that went to school in Des Moines and loved it there (currently they live in N Dakota...not so much!). Pretty big difference in climate between me and Des Moines... Cold day here. Right around freezing, but the wind made it feel worse. Enough melt to get the streets running, but not like the past few days.

stormtrackertf Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Down to a T here IMBY, under 3" left at DTW. The sun angle is starting to really win out now, but that's ok, broke the record for most consecutive days with 1" of snow cover yesterday.

cyclone77 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Snowing pretty good here. Ground quickly whitening up. Seems so dramatic now to see the ground whiten back up after having bare ground again. A wimpy event like this accumulating on top of existing snowfall like most of this winter would barely get your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Why is bowme banned? I saw a bunch of drunk posting last night from him and then it getting deleting and him posting even more getting pissed about it. Then he sent a few people some unsavory messages after the fact. I'm sure there was probably more on top of all of that. In this forum or did he venture into one of the i-95 sub forums? Regardless that sucks.. Hopefully he comes back.

KokomoWX Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 My NWS forecast doesn't have any snow or mixing for all seven days and upper 20’s for the bottom end. I'm not sure when I last saw such a non wintry forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Only got a half inch here last night. We ended up in between better snow bands. A few pockets of very heavy snow moved across far southeast Iowa overnight and dropped 4-5 inches. I lost count of the number of times that area got 4-5+ inches this winter. Meanwhile, I went the entire winter without getting a 5" storm. I only got a couple 4" storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up 1.3" here last night/early this morning, which was more than I expected. Ground all white again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow poke Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 We had a little lake effect off Huron this morning, enough to slicken up the roads a little even. I was up looking at the river where it meets the lake under the Blue Water Bridge area yesterday evening and was surprised at all the open water already.

Geos Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Today's windy cold weather sucks, but it'll get better as the week goes on. Few LES flurries, but no synoptic snow last night. Wind is turning more easterly, which is allowing for more sun now. Between now and April 1st, there is a gain of 47 minutes of daylight. --- Snow cover as of 17z, modeled at least.

beavis1729 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 INL hit -23 this morning, a new daily record low. Old record was -18 set in 1909. Normal low is 13. Also, I believe this is their 3rd coldest temp so late in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 -7 this morning, up to 5 now. some pics from around Ellsworth today. Looking west towards northern Green Bay down the hill is Ellsworth, and my house is just over the hill of pines in the mid distance. the valley creates colder temps and late frost as compared to areas nearby. This ice was caused by melting snow as the rain changed over the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
