cyclone77 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Up to 32 now. Have risen 6 degrees over the last half hour, and 8 degrees since 9:30 or so when it was 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I am curious why the snow has this appearance? Was there some freezing drizzle that fell on top of the pack? Very unique looking. Looks like glass. Great pics! On Wednesday, a morning burst of heavy snow turned to freezing rain. I estimate about 0.15" of precip fell as freezing rain. Temps were in the mid-20s. The snowpack was deep, dense, and very cold, so the rain naturally froze instantly to it. And it has just remained in tact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yesterday was a low-melt day because of the cold start, but today we started at 30 and are already warmer than it was late afternoon yesterday. It's finally spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocks Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 We're torching hardcore in Louisville. We're already up to 42 degrees. Can we make it to 50 today? Snowpack is losing its power fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The GFS is keeping 925mb temps on Monday 3-5 degrees cooler than the Euro. I really see no reason not to lean heavily on the warmer temps. The Euro has been handling the over performing temps quite well yesterday and today. Heck we are warmer today despite weak CAA. Low-mid 50's Monday and lower 60's Tuesday.

Hoosier Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 41 at LAF. Kinda weird that you guys farther north (UGN, MKE, etc) are several degrees warmer. We all have snowcover, we're all getting sun, and we all have brisk W/SW flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 41 at LAF. Kinda weird that you guys farther north (UGN, MKE, etc) are several degrees warmer. We all have snowcover, we're all getting sun, and we all have brisk W/SW flow. Yeah, temps ramped up quickly to 40° here by noon with clouds, when a few sprinkles fell. Since then we have had full sun, but temps have flatlined, rising only two degrees in the past three hours. Still overperforming, as the p-n-c had 38° for a high.

cyclone77 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hit 45 earlier. Snow is definitely melting out there. When the wind isn't blowing it almost feels warm in the sun. Wouldn't be surprised if we make it deep into the 60s this upcoming week, as temps always over-perform this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Ice rink on the lake is now under water. Still 17" thick but skating is done for the season. Wind is really whipping out there. 45F and snow is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Late yesterday and this afternoon I did my annual chore of hauling snow from the piles on the patio and next to the driveway out to the street to melt. If I don't, it'll take the piles a long time to melt and they'll be forming puddles on the pavement. Low 40s sure does feel good. The low 60s in a few days will be awesome. We still still have 2-3 inches of snow to melt. The visible loop shows most of the northeast Iowa snowpack fading, but a strip of deeper snow still exists through Cedar Rapids over to Clinton.

daddylonglegs Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 45F or 46F...beautiful early, but the last few hours the wind picked up a lot and made it feel cooler. Losing snow fast here, not like we had much to begin with. There really aren't any big piles around this year. NWS keeps upping temps next week...showing mid 50Fs... Still looks like a nice cover of snow south of here...going to take a few more days to kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sunshine today and a high of 41F. Lost about an inch in depth today. This will be two years in a row we have an unusually deep, moisture-laden snowpack in March that we lose gradually without the aid of rain. Cannot ask for better way to avoid flooding. Much of the icy sheen the snowpack has had since wednesday is now gone, but the word of the morning was SNOWBLIND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 We probably lost a good 2" today. Down to about 4" or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
