Geos Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I had one last Summer... I hit 90. not common at all but doing research, the Summer's of 1983 and 1988, following strong 'nino's were pretty hot. Here's some totals so far... looks like through tonight another 4-6" here. 943824_1238462126183676_8307402956063623406_n.jpg Those are impressive numbers. Orographic lift is working it's magic there. GFS and NAM throwing a little snow in the area on Friday night, Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I know Stebo doesn't want to see anymore snow, but... If I had all the snow the GEM showed this year, I'd still have feet of snow in my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The winds today are impressive. 3 straight hours of 50+ mph gusts at DTW. The planes coming in were so low over my workplace today you could practically see in the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Sunny and brisk here with a temp of 40 and a wind out of the NNW at 22mph. However it doesn't actually feel that cold. I've noticed the VTI obs station is usually a few degrees warmer than my obs and others around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. Even accumulated on the roads and sidewalks. Pretty impressive given how warm its been. Cold air doing work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Kind of busted on precip today. Expected to have off and on passing rain and snow showers today but didn't see a flake, or a drop. Lots of clouds around though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Had a moderate burst of snow this morning with a little rain in the beginning then it was cloudy for awhile, sun came out for a couple hours, now in the past hour light snow showers have been passing through. Cold day with a high of 39°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Global_Warmer Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Had massive flakes this morning with some localized places in the STL metro getting 3" in 60-90 mins. I saved this radar animation as the lift was close to maxing out. That area NW of STL produced 2-3" in some spots in 45-75 mins. The thinner yellow bands brought 10 mins of white out conditions and some of the largest flakes ive ever seen. It was strong enough to cause roads to turn white.

Chinook Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I have found some of the missing Toledo Express Airport climate data! A large number of the monthly snowfall values for Toledo Express Airport were missing from 1997-2004. I found a lot of this on the F6 climate forms that I had saved on my own CDROMS... 12-13 years ago!!! Monthly and seasonal snowfall can be found on my updated table here: http://www.fortcollins.salsite.com/Toledo_Snowfall_1984_2016a.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Noticed there was an isolated strip of snow cover still left on the ground up by Mason City Iowa on visible this morning. At first I thought maybe it was a smoke plume showing up, but quickly noticed that the winds were blowing perpendicular to the strip. Went back and looked at yesterday's satellite images, and then reviewed the radar from Saturday. Looks like they got absolutely hammered by a narrow band of very heavy snow up there over the course of an hour. Not sure how much fell there, as I haven't looked at reports yet, but it had to be at least a few inches to still be on the ground this morning. This morning's vis Yesterday's vis Yesterday's vis zoomed in to 250m. Look how concentrated the main heavy snow swath is. That had to be amazing. Brief radar loop. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/current/mcview.phtml?prod=comprad&java=script&mode=archive&frames=30&interval=5&year=2016&month=3&day=19&hour=15&minute=10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 That is wild, I don't think I have ever seen such a hard division like that. Me either. I was driving on I-65 one time during lake effect snow and in the field east of me it was snowing pretty hard and hardly snowing at all in the field west of me. It had just started though so I didn't get to see how much accumulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
