March 2015 General disco

24 years ago, this happened. Shows what kind of variation you can get at this time of year.

At the time, the largest tornado outbreak in Michigan history, superseded in 1997 and then again in 2001.

Today, a feathery dusting of snow that has since blown away from the slightest breeze.

Sun angle? What sun angle? Give us a moist cold system and we could lay down a blanket of snow no issues whatsoever. Going down to the mid-teens tonight.

Wow, like a different world. Hard to believe that's only a couple of hundred miles away.

Someone on Ye Olde Mount Oakland probably got 1-2".

Some places in Macomb had some accum this morning from a huron squall. It was weird to have it snow ALL day yesterday and not accumulate. I dont think there was a single moment from about dawn to dusk where there werent flakes floating around, yet its just a T. By contrast a few stray flurries fell the night before, and thats also a T. All T's are not created equal.

 

Also its funny that during winter when snow falls seemingly every day we are so accustomed to it, but in the early and late season I always get the obligatory "its snowing" texts from a handful of friends/family :lmao:

I was going through the temp departures at DTW since Feb 2013 when the persistent above normal temp pattern in place from mid-2011 thru 2012 went byebye. Cannot ever recall such a period of domination of below normal temps, and this March will only add to the list.

Still have some lingering snow on the ground ...should lose all that this afternoon.  Sitting right around freezing with sunshine again.   Sitting at +1.6F for the month...

 

I hope this is it.  Time for spring now.  The cold can come back next fall.  Euro weeklies don't look too bad, NAEFS looks ok...  I thought we might have an early green up, but this past week put an end to that.

Down to 13° here this morning! Ridiculous for March 28. Wish the warm-up was starting this weekend. Looking like a nice week coming up, but the GFS is showing some more cold shots in the extended. - One note, looks like a backdoor cold front on Tuesday...

We dropped down to 23 last night. Our average low for today is 43. But, it was nowhere even close to record territory as that was 8 set back in 1947.

 

It's still only 33 degrees at 1 p.m. Starting to wonder if we will even hit 40 today. It will be a struggle. But, it looks like we may get into the 70's for multiple days next week. Looking forward to that.

fresh snow and clear skies last night took the temp all the way to -8 at my house.  still -18 at Doe Lake, south of Munising a bit.  Really feel this is was the last below zero weather for the season.

Wow, it must radiate like crazy at Doe Lake.  MQT hit -10, tying the record from 1966.  Normal low is 20.

Deceptively chilly day here today with sunny skies. CLE only hit 27 for the high today, almost a record low max, but instead will come up a little too warm and be the second coldest high temperature for the date.

warmer here, made it to 35.  looks like a quick hitting snow in the morning.... east UP 3-6".

 

How did you manage that!? Downsloping wind!  :P

I see it's in the mid 40s in Duluth. Pretty unusual to see them so much warmer than here.
