weatherbo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 How the heck are you going to be warmer than us down here tomorrow? Dang lakes, good for nothing on this side of the state. Already well into the 30's here, can we crack 50 today? ssw/sw winds downslope here from the highlands of n Wisconsin. FTW!The instant they turn back off superior, back into the freezer.

cyclone77 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Good chance we break 60 tomorrow and Wed. 58 in the point for both days. 3-4" still left on the ground will be toast by Wednesday or Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the number in your sig up to date? If it is, amazing that more than 40% of your snowfall for the entire winter (so far) came from one storm.

Avg snowfall here is around 35" so we did pretty good for the season as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 today's snow depth map! between 40-50" on the ground this morning in my area but with a high of 44 today and 51 tomorrow, the melt is underway, and with 10-14" of liquid in the snow here, the waterfalls and streams should be amazing. still tho, it will take weeks to lose the snow. here's my fear! The warm weather and strong winds will break up and sink the thin ice on Lake Superior and when Winter does make a return later in the month, I'm going to get a 2' dumping. ssm_depth.2015030913.0.600.450._13142.4982._12954.5233.dem.shading.giklm.m.1.0.0.1.0.0.png Oh you're not done there pal!!!

Actually happened several times when I was at MTU. Keweenaw would be warmer than Detroit area with some good S/SW winds in spring. Then later in the day the lake would shift the wind just enough and it was all over for that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Should make a run at 40 today. Warm-up is going to be way less impressive over here than for you folks S & W of the Lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 925mb temps are already 7-8C. Should top out in the mid-upper 50's today. GFS fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 925mb temps are already 7-8C. Should top out in the mid-upper 50's today. GFS fail. What was the MOS and 2m output showing there? I ask because this was a well known bias with the prior GFS (especially underdoing 2m temps) and it would be unfortunate if no progress was made on this shortcoming.

cyclone77 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 You only have to go about 50-75 miles south and southwest of here to get into the snow-free areas. That will really help us warm up quickly tomorrow. Winds go north for Wed and southeast for Thu though, but by then most of the snow will be toast.

Hoosier Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wonder if we will tag 60 at some point this week. Never really get into the good S/SW low level flow here as some previous model runs had been hinting at. 850 mb temps would support 60s with good mixing but it looks like there may not be good mixing, so I'm kinda skeptical but it's easy to overachieve with sun at this time of year. Haven't had a 60 degree day since November 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because this was a well known bias with the prior GFS (especially underdoing 2m temps) and it would be unfortunate if no progress was made on this shortcoming. MOS output has been bad around here. Had a high of 44 today for rochester. They should blow by that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Last 30 days verification of days 1, 3, and 5. New GFS still has a cold bias at the surface and 850hPa. Euro, on the other hand, runs a smidge warm at the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Boston at 105.7" of snow for the season. I think their record is 107.1". Sayonara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Appears that IND is really accounting for the model cool bias...they are a good 7-10 degrees above most guidance here on Wednesday (calling for 57). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because this was a well known bias with the prior GFS (especially underdoing 2m temps) and it would be unfortunate if no progress was made on this shortcoming. Mav started in the mid-upper 40's a couple days ago. Looks like it peaked at 51 on today's 6z. 2m was ugly, I stopped looking at it but last I looked it was in the 30's. I was actually discussing this with someone at work the other day. In short, the cold bias is still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 12z ECMWF 2m temps would support highs of 60F or a little better here on Wednesday and Thursday. 00z run was noticeably cooler for Thursday though so we'll see. I'd be interested in what ECMWF MOS has but finding bigfoot is probably easier as I don't think it's available even on paysites (someone can correct me if I'm wrong).

weatherbo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 up to 43 but the dp is only 21 so not as much melting as I'd hoped to see today. The roof is dripping and I can hear the gutters.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 CR officially hit 50 in the last hour. In town it's a few degrees warmer. This is the first 50 degree day since Dec 14th. Snow is melting quickly, but it's going to take another day to finish most of it off. The Euro says we may be 60+ for the next seven days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Maxed at 47 so far today, looking to be in the low to mid 50s tomorrow and Wednesday, bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Was a little worried about the this pesky mid-level cloud deck but we are up to 55 now. Was just going to post that.

cyclone77 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 52 here this afternoon. Large patches of bare ground showing up where some of the shallower areas of snow were. 58 in the point for tomorrow. I think we easily break 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the correction. I don't see how they don't scrape together 2" over the next 1.5 months. Might be broken by this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
