Geos Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Nice pictures Bo! You probably won't see the grass until early April though! Made it to 48° here today. One more mild day before the lake breezes start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Nice pictures Bo! You probably won't see the grass until early April though! Made it to 48° here today. One more mild day before the lake breezes start. last year, this area had 20"+ on May 2nd but that was last year and a bit of an anomaly but only slightly. The higher elevations in this area usually have some type of snow cover until early May. On average, there's still 30-40" of snow yet to come, but this reprieve is simply heaven. I feel late March is going to be on the cold side and with Superior already opening up, could be a lot of snow yet to come but the light at the end of the tunnel is visible, and for that, I'm happy!

Chitown Storm Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Our mad dash to 60 appears to have stopped at 57. No highs lower than 50 projected for the next 7 days. The point now has 64 for Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The time of year when you don't want to be near the western shore of Lake Michigan 1.png 2.png Or within 10 miles of Lake Erie. High of 38 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf 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. Felt great out today in the mid 40's, can't wait for mid 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Their record is 107.6". But even if they fall short, this was still by far their snowiest met. winter on record... I am the first person to say stuff like that doesnt matter, as total snowfall is just one metric to describe a winter. But we saw the same thing here last winter. It was Detroits snowiest met winter by nearly 15", but with us 2" shy of the record in late March, THATS what the talk was about. Of course a 3.2" mid-April snowfall rendered it all a moot point, but had it not occurred it wouldnt have made the winter any less severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The blue sky this morning was quite a sight. It remained clear all day but the melting snow added a haze to the air. We are losing about 2" of depth a day here. Down to 8" or so on the ground (usual rules apply, many higher spots, many lower spots). Since tomorrows 12z snow depth will be under 10", it will finish a stretch of 36 consecutive days of double digit depth for DTW. Very impressive. Today finished with a departure of +2F at DTW, the first day above normal since February 8th!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 00z MPX sounding showed we mixed up to 850mb today. 850 temps are around 7C at 18z tomorrow but fall to 5C by 00z. Still should mix as good if not better tomorrow. I'll go 65 at MSP. Starting to like our chances for 70 on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Snow is mostly gone in the river valley. I'm sure there is still those shaded bluff areas that have deeper snowpack to melt. Putting on shorts and heading to the park later today. I actually am glad there is some "cooler" temps in there...all we need is trees starting to bud out...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well, satellite shows fog expanding across eastern Iowa and DVN just extended the advisory til noon, so we may have a tough time hitting 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Not going to hit 50° this way. Dense fog with visibilities as low as 100 feet this morning. Looks like a dose of winter for St. Patrick's Day DLL. There's probably another snow or two yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'd be shocked if we were done with snow. Its March still... NAEFS looks a whole lot colder in the extended..especially east. It was either last spring or 2013...i was stuck in fog all day...it was like we were the last ones to clear, which i don't think we ever did... i vowed from that day forward i would never be taken by the fog monster again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 http://riverfestlacrosse.com/centurylink-riverfest-cam/ You guys and girls (are there girls on this website?) can watch me frolick and prance through the park this afternoon ... College girls will be thick. I talked to a cop that told me back in the day (90s?), they use to have a code (over their radios) for that sort of thing..there is a main drag that a lot of them jog along... lots of inattentive driving happen on days like this. Dirty old man (me) in his stinky old van with a couple of youngsters in the back usually get all the hot babes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
