Whitelakeroy Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Epic stuff there.. Amazing what a difference just 35 miles makes to go from 100 here to 150 there. On average ( normal ) you gain a inch for every mile west you go from here with the seasonal snowfall. Not this winter. sheesh Wonder what the highest total for the winter is out that way from there up into Allegan and on up to Muskegon, etc? The Jackpot area is usually just north of Bloomingdale to just west of Allegan. I drove all over that area and there is just a lot of snow all over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 We might get below zero here before midnight too ... 5 with a dp of -5 ... both have dropped 4 degrees in the past hour. What an awesome winter when you spend nearly 4 hours outside playing in the snow with your kids at ~12F degrees and think it is warm. Amazing what no wind and lots of sun does!!!

Geos Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hovering at +1° here. There is some high clouds overhead right now, which may temper the drop in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Toledo with 3" and I had a little over 5" here in BG. KTOL officially stands at 76.5" on the year as we continue to see the bar rise on the all time record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 -5 here. Last 50 degree reading here was way back on Dec 4th, just a few days before the current snowpack streak began. Last 60 degree day here was way back on the infamous Nov 17th. In other words it hasn't been warm here in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Here's what it looked like a few days from now on March 6 back in 2012. Much less snow cover around the mw. Just a few days before a historic torch started. Gonna be quite awhile before we see this much bare ground over the mw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelakeroy Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 deep snow, frozen lake= a Minnesota like -28 this morning. With light winds over the next few days it will be interesting to see how much ice % we can end up with for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 With light winds over the next few days it will be interesting to see how much ice % we can end up with for the season.it's just over 90% great lakes wide currently. I'd say 95% is reachable. L Ontario finally started freezing over pretty rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 @ Bo. If you look at satellite images or go down to the lake in person down this way, you'll see the lake isn't that frozen. http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/webdata/cwops/html/modis/region_map.html Anyways, a low of -4° here. LE clouds were bit of a saving grace this morning. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh ice will look like open water on satellite and even when looking from shore from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh ice will look like open water on satellite and even when looking from shore from a distance. I attempted to a get a picture from Racine just now, but the between the -SN and the clouds it was hard to tell. It did look like the surface was moving a bit. One good wind storm and the coverage would plummet like it did a couple weeks ago. @ Alek, too bad ORD isn't working on breaking the next milestone this morning.

I don't think you were understanding my discussion with Bo. All I was saying to Bo was with the light winds over the next few days the GL ice cover % will likely peak. I agree that all we need is a big storm to break it up like last time. I was not saying there are not open spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelakeroy Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 one of the best return/rate ratios in a long time...beautiful puff balls with little to no wind. Closing in on 1" I loved when that would happen when I was at MTU on calm days. The LES would drift overhead due to the upper levels with monster ratios. Pretty cool.
