hm8 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Welp, off to Breckenridge, CO. Enjoy your inevitable over performer... I'll be on the slopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Nice. I wish I had another Boyne trip planned but right now it is all TBD!! Maybe mid-March ish???It's March now and I'm completely ok with the snow going away. I will never scoff at a snowfall at any time tho, but Spring will be nice. I have no delusions that snow won't be on the ground through mid- April at the least, so I'm pacing my Spring fever. Lots of ski weather left for you. When are you gonna just move up here?

michsnowfreak Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 But, but the snow cover... Joking aside, even if we maintained the same pattern we are in, the snow will be going away. It was under 20 all day today but sunny so we were melting all day. If we maintain the current pattern, the snow will continue to slowly melt but it will still take a while for the snow to melt fully...so....filthy or not (should be fresh for a bit after tonight), its all about maintaining another impressive record this winter.

michsnowfreak Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Snow has been OTG for MBY since Dec 11th! Pretty crazy We havent had a bare ground day here since December 8th...however...the snowdepth was only a T from Dec 23-25 & Dec 28-30. Other than that, its been 1"+ days (the usual snowcover days threshold), but this year most of the time its been 6"+, much of the time 10"+!

Geos Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Happy it's March now. Day 83 of snow cover here. Probably end up hitting 90 days unless the warm up next week over performs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I keep looking at 384 hrs on most runs of the GFS to see if there is any light at the end of the tunnel for spring wx to finally commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Euro shows not much other then maybe some mild air day 6/7... nothing beyond 30Fs if we are lucky. 5F and snow on March 1st... nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Some interesting observations on the first day of met spring. Just got back in from a few outdoor errands. Busy roads are unsightly right now with patches of brown grass showing, mountains of dirty snow, downright black in spots, and even the white snow looking like its dusted with soot (hopefully gets fresh tonight). But when you get away from areas with high traffic and even away from sidewalks/pavements of neighborhoods...and into areas of just cement-free grass and trees, the snow is not only still deep, it is a slab. Any spots that are 8" or less deep you walk on top of as if you are on solid ground, and the 12"+ spots you sink through maybe 1-2" tops. In the once-driftier areas there are still many spots in the 15-20" range (few higher drifts still) and I am now convinced that for shaded areas that see no sun, there is no timetable til the last of it melts. Until we get high temps AND high dews, there will be patches of snow in undisturbed shaded areas. Calling depth 12" right now, but unless its ushered in by temps of 70F+, I suspect we will be at depth of a T for some time once our 1"+ snowcover streak comes to an end.

nwohweather Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Pretty amazing loop! I would say April is seriously skewed by Palm Sunday and the Super Outbreaks of '74 and '11. Late May-early June is typically the most active serious severe weather time around the Great Lakes. Early Spring is more time for the big stuff if it can materialize but it almost never does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Then I hope you didnt look at 12z at 384 hrs I did, but that Canadian high pressure is 1024 mb and not in the 1040's....there is hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 NAO looks to remain positive. AO looks to swing into positive territory next week. MJO gaining amplitude near the phase 7/8 line. EURO isn't too bad. Widespead 30s later next week. If it's sunny, it's going to feel heavenly! - as long as the wind isn't blowing 30mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 broken record.jpg 4 straight months of calling for a torch...has to happen eventually. Actually it may be 12, if we go back to last March. Front has passed LAF...and we have a solid temp gradient between here and Indy at 3:00pm, 29º vs 48º. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Wow, speaking of torch, I didn't think IND was supposed to get that warm today. 32° here. Noticed some water seeping from the snow piles today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 http://www.freep.com/article/20140301/NEWS05/303010014/Record-winter-Detroit-Michigan Article in the Detroit Free Press about our record winter this year....says unless youre 130, youve never seen a winter like this. As always, reading the comments are hilarious. Most say its the worst theyve ever experienced, but some stand firm that while its bad, it was always like this in the 1970s...and a few claim it was like this in the 1950s . Gotta love hallucinations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I now looking forward to the end of the Arctic air. Not that I want this incredible winter to end but I do look forward to not wearing 20 layers of clothing!!! Plus the lack of any substantial storms IMBY is getting old (today's storm, while I will take it, is only a 2" event IMBY). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 broken record.jpg He's gonna blow us all away with climo. March? Warmer than January? Really?? Honestly though even I've had my fill of winter this year. I'm ready for a steady thaw for March and April showers. No morch. No smarch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Was just looking back on March of 2012. What an amazing month that was. Hit 70 here on the 6th, and then a string of 8 days in a row of a temp of 79 or above started on the 14th, with a peak of 84 in that stretch. Can't even fathom temps being that warm this soon with the way it's been here lately. At this point 50 degrees seems almost untouchable lol. I remember having to mow by the end of the month, which was the first I could remember mowing in March. We've had solid snow cover here since the 8th of Dec, and it looks to continue for at least another week. Frost is also quite deep, so we may not be mowing around here until deep into April.

NEOH Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 sorry, the call has already been made. look at 120hr guidance and nod your head. That doesn't mean you won't have troughs move through, all patterns do. Good call... Transient cold shots in spring aren't all that common.

beavis1729 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 At International Falls, the high temperature of -9 degrees on March 1st broke the record for the coldest high temperature for any day in March. The old record was -7 degrees set on the 23rd in 1974. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Winter 2013-24 (DJF) was 2nd coldest on record in Duluth and International Falls. Amazing stuff.
