Hoosier Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Depends how much sunshine we get over the next 2 days, cement or not, the sun is going to do work. Then once we get to the weekend if the snow pack has been halved we will end up warm still. I do expect it to be windy as well which will help out on snow melting/sublimating. Forecast has a lot of clouds around here the next couple days. I think it could be a scenario where Saturday is sort of held in check and maybe Sunday works out well. Should really nuke the pack on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying cooler would help with the big dog down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hoping that snowcover won't hold temps back too much this weekend, though with melting probably being somewhat limited in the next couple days, I'd have to think it's going to cap the warmup over what it could be. What snow cover? My 1" overnight is long gone even though it has been snowing all morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 What snow cover? My 1" overnight is long gone even though it has been snowing all morning. fwiw, Gino mentioned it in the afd ... STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP NEAR HUDSON BAY OVER THE WEEKEND RESULTING IN STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION AND A HEALTHY WARM UP FOR THE WEEKEND. GIVEN THE RECENT COOL BIAS IN GUIDANCE KEPT TEMPS SLIGHTLY ABOVE BLEND GUIDANCE...THOUGH AGAIN EXPECT SNOW COVER WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON TEMPS THROUGH SATURDAY. HIGH SUN ANGLE AND PROLONGED PERIOD OF ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS SHOULD TAKE A HUGE TOLL ON THE SNOW PACK SO THAT NOT MUCH WILL BE LEFT BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

IWXwx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yeah, by the time we get to March 1st, it's hard to keep a snowpack at this latitude. We get a little sun and in the words of the Hawk, "He gone!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Had overcast most of the day, with rounds of sunshine for 5-10 minutes. Even had a little burst of snow this morning. However even cloudy skies and 34 degrees is enough to melt some of the snow, already seeing patches of grass, and snowpack is down to 1-2". That "blizzard" was great, but I'm over this winter. It has been a sleeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 This snowpack we have here in the city will NOT last long. The sun just broke out about 2 hours ago and we have already started to evaporate and melt this mess. Tomorrow through Sunday will obliterate it all. #freshstart #strongnino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Day started off partly sunny, but now has clouded over and cooled off. 32°. Clouds will help preserve your snowpack Hoosier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 39 here today with a mix of sun and clouds. Have 56 and 59 in point for Sat/Sun. Would think we'll break the 60 degree mark on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Socked in with clouds and temps around freezing. Have had some melting in the past couple days but still a good 7-8" of snowcover here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Friday was cold and pretty much cloudy all day. I think I saw a few small flurries in the afternoon. Tomorrow looks like 50.

Chitown Storm Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 57 in the point today. Should easily break the record high of 54. Winds out of the SW gonna make today a late-Feb gem. Beers on the deck this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 these first late feb/march winter natural vitamin D days feel so much better and welcomed when there is no snow to melt. its windy but at least no chance of a lake breeze Rare in these parts in spring. Enjoy every minute it of it folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Today's going to bust, at least on the cloud cover front. Opaque cirrus has taken over, which was to be expected based on modeled RH fields, but the NWS seemed more optimistic in their mostly sunny forecast. That should slow down the melting for those who'll hate to see the snowpack / snowcover go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
