Hoosier Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 That Monday storm could've been interesting with some colder air. 850's do cool a little below 0C but that's usually not going to get it done at this time of year. Not going to be pleasant weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 That Monday storm could've been interesting with some colder air. 850's do cool a little below 0C but that's usually not going to get it done at this time of year. Not going to be pleasant weather. If there was more phasing (i.e. to get colder air) then this storm would be stronger and likely much further NW. My point is to change a dynamics with a storm presented in the models would likely result a significant changes would not give the simple results desired ... but I really think you know this and just wishing it would be snow ...

michsnowfreak Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I slept through it, but light snow was reported overnight, so April is on board with a T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I slept through it, but light snow was reported overnight, so April is on board with a T. I hit one of those snow showers driving home on 94 near Chandler Park, it was snowing so hard that it was sticking to the freeway and the grass. I would say the visibility was around a mile at the time maybe a bit lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Supposedly there was some flurries around here early last night, but I never did see any. Just a few wet spots on the pavement. No clouds at all this morning. Pretty nice day shaping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Had 53F here...bike trails were nuts again. So many people out...showing a few 60Fs in the next week, with no freezing temps...so a nice stretch of SPRING coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hit 53 here as well. The grass is just starting to show signs of some greenage in a few spots. For the most part the landscape is still completely brown. Trees still barely budding. Sort of strange in the middle of the day to see such a high sun angle and yet everything still looks like winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Amazing how quickly stuff can spring back to life after such a brutal winter. I wonder if there's any wintery weather left on tap before we're all said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 The wasted potential with Monday's system makes me weep. If only it were three weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 The wasted potential with Monday's system makes me weep. If only it were three weeks ago. 12z NAM sim radar is pretty sweet. Well...only if we play make-believe, and it's all snow. It has all the classic signs: +SN for BTL, DTW, FWA, LAF, and Wyandotte...WTOD and dry slot into Ohio...complete whiff for cyclone...etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only it were three weeks ago.Yea it's a bummer our only Gulf low is coming in April. Which makes all the broken snowfall records this winter even more impressive without the southern stream contributing much.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's approaching 60 here with a mostly sunny sky. The sun was not expected. It hit 60 yesterday as well, and more 60s are expected through Saturday. Some rain would be nice, but the mild temps are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 7 day forecast includes our first 60's of the year. Nice to see an above normal stretch for once as opposed to a quick single day warm up. Highs of 63, 55, 55 and 61 for Thursday-Sunday. Looks wet as well. Looks like this week will be the last hurrah for a decent spring flood on area rivers, particularly the Grand River. Still a moderate snowpack in the headwaters. Temperatures through the week will wipe out whatever snowpack is left and the added rainfall could make things interesting.
