They have someone from DTE watching the wire, I think they got the one further up the road on the Dearborn side cleaned up because I didn't see all the flashing lights and flares up there coming home tonight.

michsnowfreak Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Had some flurries earlier as cleanup continues. This is what my tree lost. Not happy, but fortunate as so many people lost whole beautiful trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osubrett2 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Looking long term, there is no sign of a sustained ridge to welcome in Spring. Below average Marches are the worst IMO. 2016 was above average, but 2013, 2014, and 2015 were all below average with late springs. Yes, it is a transitional month for most of the sub, but average highs for CMH are approaching the 50s now and I'm ready to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 First 9 days managed to build up some decent anomalies. This map is quite similar to the February map btw, with the warmest anomalies being in the Midwest. Won't sustain this obviously in the coming days.

DTE rightfully calling it the largest event in their history. Definitely the worst wind event I've ever seen. We got power back last night, after losing it at about 6pm on Wednesday.

buckeye Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 GFS has almost the identical storm set up next weekend as we have in front of us. Also, if you believe the gfs long range... forget about a Morch. Fugly rainy/snowy straight through then end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 THE 18z GFS this Sat. March 11th shows a parade of storms coming in the next two weeks for the Midwest that if it verifies should make everyone from snow lovers to severe wx enthusiasts happy. If this pattern continues into the spring season it will be quite the active period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Still no power here yet. The end appears in sight though as DTE crews are all over. Cleanup finally kicking into high gear too. This was the scene at the end of my corner a bit ago: Wood chips will be plentiful this summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 On 3/2/2017 at 2:15 AM, Powerball said: So things seem to be tilting in the direction of cold / dry (at least for a sizable chunk of the month). Perfect. On 3/2/2017 at 9:00 AM, Hoosier said: GFS seems more bullish than the Euro on the cold. Couple things to keep in mind. One, don't expect a February type of warm stretch in the immediate future, though warm days will occur. The other thing is that low level temps tend to respond better at this time of year with the sun angle, so what looks like a cold map may not be as cold as you think, especially on days with sun. My azz that's been freezing itself off with this useless cold since the 1st of the month would beg to differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasheed Wallace used to say the ball don't lie. Well, the map don't lie, at least not majorly. There have been cold days but the warmth has been outdueling the cold. This is also true when only looking at max temps, though to a lesser extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 This system's 5"+ will get us over 21" for the season. Still gonna be well below average for the winter, but at least we beat last season's total (18.1"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 4 deg this morning according to my PWS. Amazing what snow cover will do, even in March. Quite chilly considering it was 70 deg with tornado warned storms a week ago today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Dropped down to 17 last night, definitely felt like deep winter for a night. However, despite being socked into overcast and 28 degrees, melting is occurring, and the 2" is down to 1", and in some places patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Only made it to 27 today, but lost another few inches. Down to about an inch after picking up a bit over 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Sunrise this morning. Bitter cold wind all day was blowing and drifting snow around all day long, some roads re-drifted over. Really felt like a mid-January cold spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterloo broke the old record of 1 set in 1925. Mason City dropped to -6, breaking the record of -5 set in 1979. Normal lows are in the mid-20's.

michsnowfreak Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Sunny but cold the last two days.

The sun angle is extremely apparent. The snow did a lot of drifting the day after the storm, but other than that it's getting slowly assaulted in the sun to where gras spots are showing and barely budging in the shade.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Bye-bye snow cover. Grassy areas are quickly expanding this afternoon as today's sunshine is teaming up with a 40-degree temp. The rest of the snow will be history after tomorrow's low 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 It has been cold(-3.2 for the month at MQT)! The past week or so has been very January like... windy and snowy. Today hit 36 degrees and it felt wonderful, however. Being out in the woods with little traffic, the snow stays pretty pristine. Still looks and feels like deep winter. 23" of snow so far this month, 10" of that since the 12th. Hard to deny Spring is here tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Latest NAM/GFS/RGEM all hinting at around 2" away from the lake, locally 2.5-3.0", tomorrow night into Saturday morning across the GTA. At this point it looks like it could be the last snowfall of the season for the area. YYZ as of yesterday has recorded 30.9" (78.5cm) of snow on the season, which is the 10th least snowiest Winter on record, and is 14.0" (35.5cm) below normal. Unless we get something half decent between now and mid April, it will end up somewhere between the 14th-17th (17th is 2005-06 at 33.4") least snowiest Winter on record at YYZ, pending tomorrow nights snowfall. Records at YYZ go back till 1938. In addition, thru March 15th (halfway), YYZ's mean temperature for the month is 25.3F (-3.7C), which is almost 4 degrees (C) below the average of 32.0F (0.0C).
