Geos Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Slowly climbing up through the 40s early this afternoon. Plenty of sunshine making it feel decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Up to 54F here...some high wind gusts, but not too bad (not quite hurricane)... had some sun, but back in the clouds now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 About 46* or so here. Spring allergy season will likely be in full swing this time next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 26 this morning here. Made it to 56, but felt colder due to the strong winds all day. Had some baby rabbits come pouring out of a little nest in the backyard. About 6 of them. Glad they came out before I mowed for the first time lol.

Harry Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Interesting article a few here may be interested in.

stormtrackertf Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I buried some of my fragile plants with snow last night. I figured the snow would be their best protection The early spring blooms that were open did not fare well with that near record cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokolow Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Not much discussion in Central/Western that I saw -- mostly from St Cloud getting towards plains proper -- but at the west edge of the subforum the Twin Cities got socked pretty good overnight. Whole bunch of entertaining reports from the fam scattered throughout MN on account of a hilariously sharp gradient striking northwest through the Metro area. 8.3in at STC, 7.2in at DLH, 12in at Little Falls, .3in at MSP, and a pathetic freezing drizzle at my cousins' in SE St. Paul. Most impressive was a 19in (!) report out of Isanti, about 40 miles north of MSP. NWS Twin Cities commented on Twitter placing the cutoff made for a hard forecast and cosidering the commuter impact I believe it. Good thing it wasn't northern IL because 19 to zilch in our subforum there would have been pitchforks out for them holding snow shovels. Even more so when ALEKs call of nonevent ihby turned to have been on the money -- and a couple thousand meters north there's an outright emergency.

Jonger Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 That's quite a cutoff and its right over a major city. Northsiders are probably complaining and southsiders are oblivious to whats taken place just 10 miles up the road. Very similar to LES. I have trailered my snowmobiles to NW Michigan a few times in November where there was no snow 5 miles from my intended destination and then suddenly 2 feet. Happened in November 2012.

Geos Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Low of 40° this morning. Spring flowers fared fine with the lower 20s on Tuesday morning. Lake County Skywarn can keep that information to themselves! There's nothing cold on the 0z EURO run. High pressure ridge parks itself over the Midwest for the extended.

Anechandwavedata b/c I don't know the audience reach and penetration for reals but from down here I'd say the event forecast was widely reported and received. I'd guess the TC are fairly weather aware, or thats the stereotpye. At any rate from Facebook and fam listserv the southsiders are having a laugh at them that got buried. MN is pretty well ready for winter to be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokolow Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 also @Jonger I gotta say I love sharp precipitation cutoffs and changeable conditions like that: I remember we got creamed at MSP in late Jan 2008 by a canada kiss that dropped temps 50 degrees in 24 hours; viceversa in 2010 a föhn that bumped them up 30 in 8. Wish I could have been in OK for the 105 degree 7 day swing. I should look if yall's thread from then is in the archives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 That's a wicked gradient, and quite the snowstorm. Of course I don't want any additional snow, but I'd have loved to be up there during the intense snow rates. It's a little colder than expected today. The clouds are holding strong.

Geos Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Temperatures seem to be on par for this area today. Quite a bit of sun so far.

weatherbo Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 44 under heavy clouds and wind today. Recent snow all gone, and this is what's left of Winters snowpack. Lakes still iced over and no real sign of Spring yet. 6 months until it starts all over again so ready for some Spring and Summer warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Sat looks great, but Sunday could be wet around here... Next week not looking nearly as warm as previous model runs (GFS)... oh well...
