daddylonglegs Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Today was A+ in my book for a spring day...mid upper 40Fs, full sun and almost NO WIND! Took the kids for a 2 hour walk down the marsh trails/downtown... Spent other part of the day cleaning the yard. Only ice left around here and that is just in the shade. Noticed the river was flowing good earlier today...going to be flowing really good by Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 made it to 37 today, but under full sun, I could hear lots of melting. 46 tomorrow, and looks like my first 50 for Monday. So excited! update: snow is still deep all over. Trying to remember but I think I had around a foot on April first last year. Way more this year. driveway is a mess. didn't clean up after the last couple snows and it thaws and refreezes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 We are down to just dirty plowed piles now. This mornings snow depth of 0 was the first reading of 0 since Dec 8th, 111 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The grass doesn't look too bad, but it was very squishy. The river was full of big ice chunks with seagulls sitting on them while they float down the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 That's about what most grass here looks like. Did quite a bit of raking and picking up sticks today. That a nice looking pathway above there^. High 39° today. 54° predicted tomorrow and 63° for Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Mom and dad's yard outside of town - plenty of snow left in the woods. Just hangin' tough. Still got one snowmobile parked out in the woods. Going to take her for a rip tomorrow along the shade line in the field. Maybe we'll get her back inside for good/maybe not. An April jamboree would be sweet.

In fact today I was able to dig about 8" into the topsoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Warmed up 18° so far today. Not a single cloud in the sky either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Mixing looks kinda shallow tomorrow...if it were better then I think we would tag 70. Mid/upper 60s will have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 First 60+ day of the year on the way for today. Gonna be awesome. Back in 2012 we had two days where the lows were in the 60s (19th/22nd) lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Looks like this March will be colder than last March at LAF. Projecting a mean temp of 33.0º for 2014. I guess we're now almost even for Morch 2012 (56.6º +15.8º). March 2013: 33.5º -7.3º March 2014: 32.2º -8.2º thru 3/29 While this March was above average in snowfall, it was almost half of last March here.

Geos Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Wind are pretty much 180°, so straight south so far. Up to 45°. Going to end up with about -6° and change for the month here. Edit: 28.00° is the mean here so far. Average mean is: 35.26° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Mean temp here so far this month is 30.0. Last year it was 31.2, and 2012 it was 53.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Interested to see if the lake has an influence today. A 170 or even 160 degree direction usually has limited effects on the city of Milwaukee but areas north of MKE and Racine are usually cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 @ Brewers. Yeah down here, the wind has to be about 165° before the lake really starts have a significant impact on temps. Wind Point pretty much has to have a 190° or greater angle to avoid the lake cooling! lol Hanging at 47° right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Initially thought tomorrow would be our first 60 degree reading of the year but not feeling that confident anymore. Southerly winds will be pretty strong but models are still showing an easterly component tomorrow afternoon and I'm not sure we can make it to 60 before that happens. So it will probably be in the low 60's at MWC and the low 50's at MKE tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 So far it's been up to 51° today, which has felt warmer really. Breezes are fairly light. Probably ENW and the west side of Racine can manage 60° tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 65 here this afternoon. I'd like several more of these, but we only get one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 March not over, but I think we can call it a win for the CFS in the lower 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 62F here...but hurricane winds made it not be as nice as it could of been. Nice weekend.

Geos Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Today with just lower 50s I saw: people on motorcycle's, people wearing shorts, people with their car windows down, and several neighbors were working in their garages, some with their music blasting! --- Frogs are croaking tonight from the various ponds in the neighborhood. Sure sign of spring! --- Ramsey going with 60-67° tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Cannot believe how brown and dead everything is as we close March. A lot of parking lots still have massive snow piles in Detroit for opening day tomorrow lol. I can't get over how the trees don't even have buds on them yet, probably will not have leaves until May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure sign of spring! --- Ramsey going with 60-67° tomorrow! Actually found a leopard frog? on the bike trail today. It was so lethargic. Kids got to see it and then we moved him (was right in the middle of the paved trail--sunning). Motorcycles everywhere around here too... scooters, joggers, even saw a dude in a CANOE with his dog...in shorts!! no thanks. Group of us went ice fishing this morning (back pocket off the Mississippi River). 2 guys and 1 dog fell in (shallow)... the problem is the shore lines are all more or less open, and the only good ice is in the middle. Had to cross trees to get out on it...fishing was so so. Last day for ice fishing by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited the local dam yesterday to catch some crappies and see if I could get a walleye to take and the variety of clothing was amazing. Most guys (like me) were still wearing Carharts and sweatshirts, while others seemed comfortable in jackets. Two guys decided that long-sleeved shirts and shorts were good enough. Good thing they didn't see me loling or I may have gotten my butt kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
