snowstormcanuck Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Took until April 4th to get the best snowfall rates of the winter. Just a wall of cotton-balls. Looks like about 0.8" in 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Took until April 4th to get the best snowfall rates of the winter. Just a wall of cotton-balls. Looks like about 0.8" in 15 minutes. I had that March 29 and 30th, great rates and the largest flakes. Tonight I just had a short period of SN with good size flakes that left a dusting (trace or powdered coating) on most surfaces. Wind was unkind after the sun went in hiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Took until April 4th to get the best snowfall rates of the winter. Just a wall of cotton-balls. Looks like about 0.8" in 15 minutes. Incredible flake size tonight (in Oakville for Easter). We picked up about 2.0" here and it's still snowing moderately. Definite +SN for a while.

Snowstorms Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Surprise snow event right now. Didn't see this coming at all. Huge flakes and nearly 0 visibility currently in my area. Got about 1.8" down already and coming down heavy. Spring where art thou? Funny it was 65F the other day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 ~2" down on grassy surfaces. The HRRR has a repeat performance tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Looks like it might stay above freezing here all of the coming week. I bet we dip below on a few nights, but it's promising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoof Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Finished with 2" of snow here overnight, nice to get the seasonal snow total up to 41.5" on what is probably the last snow of the season the way it's looking on the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Just under an inch this morning. Looks like Christmas morning rather then Easter morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Should make a good run at 70 today. Grass is starting to green up and grow in a few areas. Gonna have to change the oil in the ol' mower, sharpen the blades, change the plugs, etc here in the near future as we'll be mowing before you know it. Several days of thunderstorms in the forecast this week with mild night time lows. Should really be greened up by next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a week of several chances of rain and fairly mild temps, all of this brown will be green by a week from today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 We had more thunder snow here last night and another round of it this morning without the thunder. 2 more weeks until I'm on the beaches of Costa Rica. If I get back and it snows again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 62°, breezy and mostly sunny here. Beautiful Easter Day. Happy Easter to those celebrating it!

Brewers Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Going to be an ugly week around here, cool and soggy although the rain is much needed. GFS and even the Euro have us close to flipping to snow Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I just heard the first several rumbles of thunder of the season as a little line of popcorn showers moved by. It barely rained/sprinkled enough to wet the pavement. It appears we'll have to wait til later tomorrow for any real rain/storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Not the greatest of days, started pretty cloudy but briefly tried to clear before it thickened back up. High in my area was 32. Left from my house and hiked about 5 miles through the woods until I found a great viewpoint. Such a quiet and remote feeling today... a few pics.

cyclone77 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Awesome pics Bo. Definitely don't seem to be too far from the lake there. Were you worried about bears while you were out hiking? I'd probably have taken something with me for a little added protection lol. Have some nice looking elevated towers going up all over atm. Best looking convective clouds I've seen since sometime last year. Gonna be a stormy week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably have taken something with me for a little added protection lol. Have some nice looking elevated towers going up all over atm. Best looking convective clouds I've seen since sometime last year. Gonna be a stormy week. Those pics were taken around 2 miles from the coast and I'm about 7 miles inland. Amazing the difference in snow from where I live around 22", and closer to the coast where it went anywhere from 6-12" and even zilch on the exposed rocks. I carry a ruger P-90 .45 with me at all times when I'm out in the woods (especially with the bear waking up). Definitely not recreational type woods. I'm not too afraid of the wolves but I keep an eye out for the mountain lions... those scare me. I still follow the weather down that way since my old stomping grounds are in N Indiana. Have to say, a little jealous. I love the storm season down that way. Hope you get some great pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Those are awesome pictures Bo! Definitely the exposed bedrock of the Canadian shield there. Out of those three animals mentioned I'd be most concerned with Mountain Lions. You're least likely to hear them walking in the forest. Pretty much cloudy all day with temps in the 40s all day. Definitely not looking like a mild week anymore, except maybe Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the neighbor down from me I was talking to a couple weeks ago said he was snowshoeing a clearing and out of the corner of his eye he saw something move and noticed a wolf following him along the tree line. So he stopped, looked straight at it, it raised its head for a second and then darted into the woods deeper. Most of these wild animals try to avoid people for the biggest part, it's the surprise interaction that you have to worry about. Coming off a cold Winter and deep snow, animals are hungry and little braver this time of year. I'm always aware of that, and what's going on around me,even at my house when I'm out.

cyclone77 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Had a few rumbles of thunder a short while ago. Went out in the backyard and tried to get the first bolt of the year with the camera, but it quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give me 2-3 months of something of a Summer and I'm happy. Then bring the snow! Again tho, I sooo miss the stormy nights of Spring down that way. haven't seen a good storm in 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Was real nice this afternoon (outside building a deck for my soon to arrive hot tub), until the lake breeze rolled through. Liking the severe potential over the next week to 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a bit unnerving, having a wolf following you! Would be wary of those three animals for sure. Best thing to do is make some noise when you hike, so the chance of a surprise encounter is very low. Looks like a good soaking is underway just to the north. Few sprinkles here a little while ago. A chilly 37° currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Have had thunder off and on for almost 2hrs now. Have had a lot of sprinkling going on at times, with large rain drops. So far only 0.01", as all the downpours have skirted around. Nice to hear thunder again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
