Tomorrow there will be measurable rain, so this will end a few streaks for Detroit..

 

This will be the 3rd longest stretch on record with no measurable precip in March.

25 days Mar 4 - 28, 1889

22 days Mar 10 - 31, 1999

21 days Mar 4 - 24, 2015

17 days Mar 15 - 31, 1918

16 days Mar 2 - 17, 1905

 

This is more of an "unofficial" stat, as it would take a ton of research to verify, but tomorrow will end a streak where Detroit went 65 consecutive days with no measurable rain. Since Jan 18th (when a meager 0.03" of rain mixed w/ snow fell), there has been no measurable rain. Since then there have been 21 days with measurable snow & 1 day with measurable freezing rain. Again, while no official stat tracking this exists (it would be like trying to separate lake effect and synoptic snow), this would appear to be the longest such streak on record.

Rainwise, this system kinda pooped out for my area.  We got one band of light rain this afternoon, but that's it.  Tonight the main low is passing too far southeast (a few days ago models had it passing nw of the area) so there won't be anything more than another quick band of light rain.

0.46" of rain total.  

 

0.20" here.  Most of southeast Iowa got under a quarter inch.  Some locations barely got any rain at all.  This was originally going to be the first good spring system of the year, with talk of widespread solid rain and maybe some thunder, but instead it was 30s and scattered light rain.  I think we'll have to wait a while longer to hear the first clap of thunder.

That's my rating for this winter, and that should be considered a generous grade when you see one storm over 4" and annoying cold, even once the page turns to Spring.

 

 

I got a ton of snow but i really didn't enjoy this winter 

 

that 21" storm was p cool though

12z NAM laying down a little stripe of snow for tomorrow in parts of IL, IN, and OH.

Gonna be a race between the cold air and precip departing but I think there's a good chance we get some flakes and can't completely rule out a decent brief burst.  Changeover time looks like somewhere around 12z, give or take.

Didn't get much rain last night.  Can't get the clouds to erode.  Struggling to get past 40 degrees.  No 50s today. 

 

I'm in the same boat as Alek.  It's getting harder and harder to enjoy winter even with a lot of snow.  After 21" everything else is kind of meh.  Then it sticks around for 40+ days just makes life miserable.
