SchaumburgStormer Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Since weather is slow, figured I would share the deck project photos. (I get to supervise while I continue to heal from my car accident) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 One year ago tonight, the last snowfall of the historic winter of 2013-14 began. It had been in the 70s the morning of the 14th, and the temp then plummeted during the evening as rain developed and quickly turned to snow. DTW ended up recording 3.2" of snow which brought the season total to a record-breaking 94.9". I remember being quite surprised at how big of a news story it was, and how so many people were so excited that Detroit broke its all-time season snow record (especially after they were long ready for spring). http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=dtx&storyid=100198&source=2 http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2014/04/15/metro-detroit-did-we-break-the-snowfall-record/ http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/25248851/spring-storm-breaks-detroit-seasonal-snowfall-record http://www.clickondetroit.com/weather/tuesdays-spring-snow-could-help-break-record/25486440 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I remember that snow well last year at this time! This week isn't looking as warm as it was portrayed several days ago. Just 50s and one day near 60° in my forecast this week. Kind of chilly out there tonight. Generous sunshine today pushed the temp to 62°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Beautiful day today. 64 was the high, however today was wonderful in that it wasn't windy. Seems like every warm day we've enjoyed so far has came with 20-30 mph winds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Since weather is slow, figured I would share the deck project photos. (I get to supervise while I continue to heal from my car accident) That's so funny I started my patio project this week as well. I'm pouring concrete though. Soil BTW is bone dry. Hope you are having a speedy recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 A year ago, while some of you were seeing your final measurable snowfall of the season, I was getting 4.52" of rain. It has been very pleasant here, although the wind a couple days ago was a bit much. Yesterday we hit 70 with light wind. We should hit 70 again three of the next four days. This spring so far has had a general good week, bad week, good week, bad week pattern, and that should continue as next week is looking much cooler again.

smoof Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I can't believe the cold the GFS is showing with the polar vortex coming near MI in about 10 days or so time. 2 chances at some snow yet this season here. Once upon a time I saw 8" of really wet cement snow in may with leaves on the trees, I went outside that night to watch and listen to the trees / branches break and snap in the snow, it was crazy. I just noticed the first leaves are starting to come onto the trees here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Right around 70F again...nice day buy windier then yesterday... 850 temps look pretty chilly next week...need to start watching frost/freezes because apricots here are flowering right now...not sure if the apples will be blooming by then, but this weekend looks warm...so stuff is going to move fast.

Geos Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Running in the upper 50s this afternoon with mostly sunny skies. Need to watch that fire danger in the short terms.

Powerball Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Beautiful day today. 64 was the high, however today was wonderful in that it wasn't windy. Seems like every warm day we've enjoyed so far has came with 20-30 mph winds Sent from my iPhone That's how it always is in the Spring time, as the warmer air advecting over the residual cold air at the surface forms a surface inversion...

McDude Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Beautiful weather lately. Couldn't be better, well, the winds could shift from north to south and it would be. But hey, I'm not complaining. Already forgot about winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Took a bike ride this evening... Park was full of college girls dancing and frolicking. Wind calmed quite a bit this evening.

stormtrackertf Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 from LOT, yesterday Funny that they all happened around the same general time of the year. People usually think of spring as being a wet/moist season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Funny that they all happened around the same general time of the year. People usually think of spring as being a wet/moist season. I think it sorta makes sense that this time of year would be favored for such a thing, as there's a lack of vegetation and it's easier for moisture to get scoured out. Obviously summer airmasses can be pretty dry but the deck is stacked against something like this...unless you're in the desert lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 No more live weather data from my station. Computer crapped out earlier today. Not gonna put the new one through the pain of running 24/7 uploading to the net. Also, the software is apparently not compatible with this crappy windows 8.1, so won't even have any monthly graphs anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the software is apparently not compatible with this crappy windows 8.1, so won't even have any monthly graphs anymore. I had the same issue a few years ago. My Davis software didn't play well with Windows XP. I tried a few things to make it work, but finally gave up. No more graphs and no more uploading. Oh well, at least the station itself is still working after 12 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Prior to today, 10 out of the past 11 days have been above average here. Have to go back to August-September 2014 to find a stretch like that (13 consecutive days above average and 15 out of 16 days above average).

There is no internet service available here, but I have a decent view of the At&t tower near Big Bay and I'm able to hotspot my phone off of that for internet service. The tower is way outdated and down about 25% of the time....life in the UP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
