Stebo Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 13 below normal 21 -2 to +2 (though about 14 of them were negative departures) 11 above normal The big take away for DTW is in that period there has only been one extremely anomalous (+6) month above normal, last December but four extremely anomalous (-6) month below normal in that period. Jan-Mar 2014 and Feb 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 FYP (granted, with a few brief exceptions). I loved this post.. 13 below normal 21 -2 to +2 (though about 14 of them were negative departures) 11 above normal The big take away for DTW is in that period there has only been one extremely anomalous (+6) month above normal, last December but four extremely anomalous (-6) month below normal in that period. Jan-Mar 2014 and Feb 2015. So, that'd be 27 below (4 mega-below) vs. 18 above (1 mega-above). Thanks to both of you guys for nailing this and showing the difference that 1 state "east of ORD(EN)" has endured. I used to think I liked it cold(er) but I'm becoming a fan of (A)GW for all the incorrect reasons - lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm still hoping for a late spring snow storm in Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm still hoping for a late spring snow storm in Michigan.Well I hope it stays in northern lower if it does. High of 51 today with a good deal of sun. Felt nice until the ne wind lake breeze picked up. Still no real sign of a green up but that's pretty typical for here this time of year. May will be the transition month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm still hoping for a late spring snow storm in Michigan. You missed those two Spring snowstorms at the beginning of April. Try again next Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 49 the best we could do today. Solid overcast all day, but no precip. Looks like another miserable day tomorrow, but then we finally start to get out of this early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I may be in the major minority but I like days like this this time of the year. Gray and cool but dry. Peaceful way to spend lunch in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Looks like a decent soaker this weekend. Looks like it will be hard to shake that onshore flow this upcoming week. GFS has a couple cooler days late week again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Pretty disappointed with the fact I had to turn the furnace back on. 58 is a bit cool in the house, even for a cold blooded guy like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Bottom shelf day with temps in the low 40s. Looks like a great Monday and Tuesday coming up, but then back to cooler weather for a lot of us on Wednesday and Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Steady rain all day, miserable weather for the annual Champaign marathon, which draws approximately 20,000 runners each year. Guess the plus side is its not 80 degrees, trying to complete a whole marathon lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Felt like I was on the set of Braveheart when I was out there a little while ago. Cold, driving rain, and lush green as far as the eye could see. Picked up 0.43 so far, and still raining pretty good. 47 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 I agree with you all, stratiform rain, an east wind and 47° makes for an ugly day. But I put put on the rainsuit and made the best of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Like everyone else, today was another in a string of nasty, windy, rainy days. There was a dry slot eroding the precip over eastern Iowa first thing this morning, but it quickly filled and gave a widespread soaking to the area. Some of the heavier downpours avoided my yard, but I still got a very respectable 0.78". The second piece of energy, currently over Nebraska, it forecast to pull across Iowa tomorrow so another couple tenths could fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
