daddylonglegs Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Spitting snow here. What a change compared to the last few days. Anything leafed out down there? Anything flowering? Everything up here (outside of lilacs and tulips) seem to be dormant still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Anything leafed out down there? Anything flowering? Everything up here (outside of lilacs and tulips) seem to be dormant still. Daffodils began blooming on Saturday. The trees have begun to bud. The budding will pretty much shut down this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Anything leafed out down there? Anything flowering? Everything up here (outside of lilacs and tulips) seem to be dormant still. Buds started popping out pretty good the last few days, but no leaves yet. The grass really greened up and started growing yesterday as well. Other than the grass the landscape still pretty much looks like the dead of winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 BTW...a quick comment about rain this spring. It has been crazy that EVERY single rain event following has busted low IMBY after a winter where almost every snowstorm overachieved. This one was the worst yet. I am at a GRAND total rainfall of a TRACE from all the storminess of Saturday through this morning. And until this mornings sprinkles, I hadnt seen a drop this weekend. I was happy about the disaster-free snowmelt, but I didnt think every single rain chance we had would bust so big. Doesnt bother me though...but fingers crossed for tonight!

Geos Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Just cloudy and breezy here right now. Seeing some radar returns to the west and southwest, but can't find any obs indicating it's making it to the ground. Trees are budding pretty good now, except the slower trees (oaks etc). Rhododendron in the front of my house now have buds forming on them. First Daffodils are popping open now - a couple weeks late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 heavy rain and snow melt is really wreaking havoc. The village is having to shore up the road side with rocks, as the main road into Ellsworth is beginning to wash out. This is my neighbors Summer rentals across the road.

daddylonglegs Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Given the date... I give today the rare F- ... worst day possible. Cold, windy, thick clouds, clear skies just to the west, that never made it in until dark...and of course..we had snow on the ground all day (lost probably 75% of it)...

Warm up starts Sat...then continues through next week..should finally get back to 70F or better late rnext week. Get this leaf out going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yum! -21F in Ontario this morning. Think of waking up to that on April 15th. I think their fishing opener up there isn't too long from now. My guess is to bring an auger and some winter clothing. 1st season of turkey hunting opens in Wisconsin tomorrow. Might be a little snow on the ground for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSNW3 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Wow, what was that ratio!? Looks like a sheet of ice. We had heavy rain all day. Not sure of the water content of the snow that fell overnight. Never did take a sample. Oops. All blended together. That said, my 2-Day pcpn total of 6.01" on Apr 13-14 ranks 3rd all-time in Oshkosh history.

OSNW3 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Looks wet and sloppy! Nice to have one last snow though. Indeed. And, as you would expect, the ponding water was frozen this AM. I wouldn't be surprised if we have another accumulating snow yet this Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 It's 32 degrees at IND right now. There's only been one occurrence of a max temp of 35 or lower on or after April 15, and it was on April 17, 1875 when the high temp was an astonishingly cold 26 degrees. The daily record of 40 is certainly in jeopardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 That 1875 temp is ridiculous. Yeah, I'm going through the record list and I'm like whoa. The 2nd lowest maximum temperature for April 17 is 38 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
