BuffaloWeather Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Longer version of that here. This ranks right up there with that Washington IL video in the top 1 and 2 for me. Just incredible. Unbelievable strength. I have to see one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimChgo9 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Blinding snow Saturday.... lovely day Sunday.... and today felt like December. Ugh. Please, can we string together more than one day of sunshine around here? This is getting real old, real fast. Any relief from this pattern in the near term? I know Skilling was saying we can expect more of the same through the 17th...... after that, hopefully it improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lawn isn't totally green yet and I've only seen a handful of opened Daffodils so far. Usually they are all open by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Can't wait for the snow prospects for other areas in the sub to finally wane in the coming weeks. Every time I see a post about upcoming snow it just reminds me that we're still technically at the end of the winter season, and just makes me want to puke in my mouth a little. Can't wait for May.

I agree. Mentally closes the book on this crap winter. Need a warm, dry day. Lawn is getting out of control, as the first fertilizer application was about 10 days ago with plenty of rain to wash it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 This winter is officially worse than 2011-2012. At least then we had a warm spring afterwards. I've had about enough of this garbage "early December" weather where it's cold, windy and snowing but nothing sticks. No redeeming qualities for this whatsoever.

Lawn is getting out of control, as the first fertilizer application was about 10 days ago with plenty of rain to wash it in. Going to be a little bit before my grass is long enough to cut. The last couple snows will likely help it with the nitrogen factor. This week doesn't look like prime grass growing weather. Saw my neighbor putting fertilizer down before the snow was completely melted off. EURO was nothing but east flow here at the end of the week, so not sure when it will hit 60° next.

Once the last flake falls (today?), June can't get here fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Fast forward to October?Heck no. I got s**t to do. In limbo a bit until the snowpack shrinks.

snowstormcanuck Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The rex block in the extended has me concerned. Looks like a protracted stretch of very dry weather. Not good for the farmers and personally I hate when the ground gets crunchy in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good for the farmers and personally I hate when the ground gets crunchy in April. Well its been quite wet lately so a bit of a dry period would actually be useful (for now) to get some work in the field done. Locally at least we've had plenty of precipitation so winter crops are fine and soil moisture will be good for planting assuming a dry spell doesn't last too long. Need to get some fertilizing done, work the fields etc. and aiming to start planting our research plots the last week of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
