hawkeye_wx Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 April 15th, full sun, yet it's only 34 degrees. At least we've been able to avoid the cumulus field so far. For days the models have been very wet/white Thursday/Thursday night, but over the last day the models have weakened it considerably and mostly pushed it off to the east. We certainly don't need another soaker or another cold, wet day at this point, so I'm not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 DTW's low max for the day is 36, I think at this point barring a late day turnaround we have a great shot of breaking this. Hell at this point the high was at midnight and it is currently below freezing on April 15th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 27/16 snowing and windy mid day on April 15. Pretty much the worst. Cool because of the rarity... But the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Off and on moderate snow squalls all day 29 currently. Just feels colder in April for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Just above freezing now. 75% of the snow is now gone in Racine at least. April sun doing its work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Still a surprising amount of snow on the ground, roofs, trees, and shrubs here in RFD. I figured it would have been decimated by the sun. Definitely some going to hold on through the overnight. Wild. I would have bet against it. Sent from my iPhone Around here in Racine I really don't see anything above the surface that has snow on it except for the north faces of roofs.

Geos Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Nearby camera in Gurnee where it snowed 2". Just a tiny bit behind those bushes across the street. EURO saying 70° in NE IL on Easter! Wild ride this past 4 days so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Detroit will break the record low max of 36 from 1904 today, as I don't expect us to climb anymore today. I do think there is a tiny chance of hitting the record low of 21 before the end of the day but we'd really have to radiate after the sun goes down. Currently 31/15.

Geos Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 High 34° here today. Melted about 95% of the snow away despite it being mostly cloudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Detroit will break the record low max of 36 from 1904 today, as I don't expect us to climb anymore today. I do think there is a tiny chance of hitting the record low of 21 before the end of the day but we'd really have to radiate after the sun goes down. Currently 31/15. The high was 33F. Another record in the books. The ride of cold/snow we have been on since early December is just spanking the record books. Whats funny is that while we have certainly had our share of record daily snowfalls in recent years, the record cold temps were like pulling teeth while the record warm days were much easier to come by. Then, starting with a record low last May...plenty of cold records have been set with not a single warm one. The other shoe always drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Even with almost full sunshine all day (afternoo) and temps near 40F, we still didn't get rid of all the snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did you get?! Sounds like more than here then. Maybe the 16:1 ratio here is making the difference. Very little left here. Temp is going no where tonight - unlike last night.

michsnowfreak Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 22F at DTW this morning. Icicles shimmering on the roof now. I assume this will be the last pic of our historic winter, on April 16th. But ya never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 We briefly dipped below freezing early last night, but have been slowly rising since. That is also the last time we will flirt with freezing, possibly for the season. The latest Euro continues to get milder with several days of 60s to low 70s beginning Saturday.
