hawkeye_wx Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 We hit the mid 70s today with plenty of sun and light wind. It doesn't get much nicer. This was about our 8th day of 70+ this spring. I saw a couple wasps this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I have a weather station but I'm not online. 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 The tower is way outdated and down about 25% of the time....life in the UP Wow, you're almost off the grid...literally. Hard to imagine we're in the same state. Pretty cool.

weatherbo Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Mild low of only 41 this morning. Should be another day in the mid 60's (normal high 48) before a nice late weekend rain and then an extended period of snow showers next week with high only in the 30's. Not liking that. Itching to get out and do some Spring cleanup. Next year we need to do thread titled, "When will bo's snow cam melt?" haha Wow, seems like eons since I have seen the ground in any of your house shots. Have had snow on the ground since Halloween, almost 6 months straight. Most of the snow should be gone this weekend except some deeper patches in the woods and some deep snow still on the north side of my house in the more shaded areas. I actually shoveled some away yesterday and spread it out to melt quicker. Wow, you're almost off the grid...literally. Hard to imagine we're in the same state. Pretty cool. Yeah it's pretty nuts. Hughes net wouldn't even provide satellite service. They said they have reached their customer capacity here due to the high demand in Marquette I guess. Sometimes this crap tower here will go out for a few days at a time and I'll have to drive down towards Marquette to pick up another one to get online.

Any place around the airport you recommend for food? The airport is in the middle of a mess of highways, rail yards and industrial sprawl on the edge of the city. Unless you have time to ride the train into the city, your best bet by far is Tortas Frontera in the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he has a restaurant or 2 in chicago. Maybe a run at 80F today... almost game over... 6z and 0z did seem a tad not so end of the world ... maybe we'll get squeak out a nice day or 2 next week.

wisconsinwx Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 What a warm day out there, 10F cooler (like it will probably be tomorrow) would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 sad but true Don't quote me on this but I think a warmer than average April (which seems likely as the upcoming below average temps probably won't be enough to erase the positive departures) leads to a greater likelihood of the upcoming summer being average to above average compared to when April is cooler than average. I think Tim or I looked into it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Back down in the mid 60s now with an East breeze. Definitely will be enjoying tomorrow before the rain moves in Sunday. NE winds and rain - yuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Back down in the mid 60s now with an East breeze. Definitely will be enjoying tomorrow before the rain moves in Sunday. NE winds and rain - yuck! I am fine with all the rain, we could use a nice steady rain here. What I am not fine with is the nonsense next week, especially after being in the mid 70s today. Just what we need is for everything to bloom and then some garbage cold air comes in, killing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Looking like the QCA could get split between the slug of heavy rains with the eastern low, and the weakening convection coming out of Iowa later Sunday. Nice day today. 81. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Today was just about as perfect of a spring day as it gets. I am fine with all the rain, we could use a nice steady rain here. What I am not fine with is the nonsense next week, especially after being in the mid 70s today. Just what we need is for everything to bloom and then some garbage cold air comes in, killing everything. Yeah, I seriously hope we don't go below freezing next week but unfortunately it looks like at the very least the suburbs are gonna get a hard freeze.

Indystorm Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Gil Sebenste of NIU Weather thinks that all modes of svr could occur Sunday south of a Peoria-Rensselaer line including the possibility of some significant tornadoes.
