cyclone77 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Had a tiny cell pop up just to the north a short while ago, so quickly went out into the backyard and tried to get some lightning shots. Most of the lightning was within the cloud, and the few decent times there were bolts I missed them. Was a nice little surprise though. Did manage to get a few very tiny bolts in this shot lol. Took this pic earlier this eve after the powerful severe rain shower passed through town. This is of a different cell coming in from the west, that missed to the south after this shot. This is out west of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The 14" between yesterday and today averaged 17:1. IMG_4438.JPG Wow, high ratio for April. You're like in a entirely different world up there, but you're only about 250 miles away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I was out in the minute or two when the wind switched and it was exciting to experience to say the least, one second it felt like late spring, the next it was like someone turned the air conditioning on full blast.

hlcater Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The showers that passed thru IA and IL tonight were microburst producers. There's several reports of local brief high wind gusts that were in the neighborhood of 55 to locally 70mph as they passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Had a couple stray showers hit Milwaukee County while I was there, but that was it. Winds seemed to knock it off pretty quickly after sundown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 What an incredible day. 23 to 74, a difference of 51 degrees. Then from 63 to 46 in one hour. Day of extremes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day of extremes.image.jpeg Yeah this will be a day I won't soon forget. From 26 to 77, then 60+mph winds from a rain shower, a little evening light show, and then a sudden drop in temps back down to 47 by midnight.

Geos Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 0z GFS is about the coldest run I've seen. One day in the 50s next Sunday the rest is 30s and 40s. Ahh, yeah... Next 120 hours. The remainder of the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I almost can't believe how much cold air is (and will be) hitting the Northeast and Great Lakes for this time of year. And if you look at the long-term GFS snow maps, about 1/2 the continent gets snow within the next 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 41 degrees, with a biting north wind. Hard to believe I was out shooting lightning in mid 60 degree weather just 3hrs ago, let alone it was in the upper 70s 7hrs ago. Crazy start to April.

weatherbo Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Just an incredible few days around here considering it's April.MQT:-31st-3rd 20" of snow -With a low temperature of 1 above zero early this morning (4-3-16), the National Weather Service office in Negaunee Township recorded the lowest temperature in the continental U.S. for April 3. Further north where I live, 4 day total of 25.7".... 10" both Saturday and Sunday.I notice schools down in Negaunee and Ishpeming are closed today and they rarely close for snow.Haven't had a plow up here except once early on Saturday, but should make it up this way by afternoon.

TravisWx Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Received 12" of fluffy snow over the past 24 hours in Rogers City, Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Looks like 4-6" fell across Toronto. Not seeing a lot of reports from elsewhere but just based on radar it looked like the heaviest snow fell *north* of the the city, in defiance of basically every model out there. I was sort of expecting a death band to develop from southern Lk Huron over towards Hamilton/Burlington. The question was whether Toronto would be close enough to get into the action. That never really happened though. Scanning twitter, doesn't look like many areas went north of 6". Still, for April, a very respectable event.

harrisale Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Also hit about 5.0" with the snow last night. There was a long period of time where flake size was terrible, around 11pm-midnight last night when rates were progged to be the highest. For a while we were lacking true dendrites, mostly just pixie dust and platelets. This likely cut into totals significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
