Bulk of it hitting with 2 pound-town cells 2 hrs apart in the evening. Calm winds and 1/8 mi vis. Pretty certain I've never seen that before.

michsnowfreak Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I updated my Detroit records list for this season. Detroit is currently at 17th snowiest winter since 1880 with 60.0". This is far off the all-time snowiest 94.9" set in 2013-14, but its incredible to note that of the top 17 snowiest winters, 7 have occurred in the last 16 years with the other 10 spanned out over the previous 122 years of record! It was shocking to see that Flint is at 2nd snowiest with 83.5", just 0.4" away from their 2013-14 record of 83.9". I should note that a few snows were isolated jackpots over Flint, obviously this winter doesnt compare to 2013-14 in severity. Their records only date 97 years back.

thomp2mp Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 got a surprise this morning here in White Lake with 5" of very wet snow on the ground. drove to Novi for work and the roads were dry down there with maybe a half inch on grassy areas.

Snowstorms Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I mean if it's going to stay cold, might as well push for a top 5 record cold April at YYZ. Over the next 7 days only one day is forecasted to be at or above 50F. Thats only the second 50F temperature since late February and would be the first this month. The average high at YYZ for this time of the year is 50F. In most normal winters, well practically any "normal" winter, cold of this magnitude would bring some type of snow (>2.0") but this year is some unearthly exception.

Crazy. The streak continues for INL and DLH...which are both at 165 consecutive days with at least a Trace of snow cover. Current depths are 11" and 8", respectively. If they can maintain this for 18 more days, it will be a full 6 months. That looks unlikely, even if the below-normal temp regime continues...simply because even a modest mild spell and/or a few sunny days can wipe out the snowpack quickly this time of year. Those T amounts for INL and DLH are bit silly in my opinion. Sure there were a few snow piles that survived from the late October and November snowfalls, but besides those and a few sheltered north facing patches of grass it all melted with warmth and rain Thanksgiving weekend and the following week.

Chicago WX Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Rather remarkable cold for the first 10 days of this April, historically speaking. April 1-10, 2018 is now the 2nd coldest (tied) first ten days of April on record for Chicago. 1) 30.4˚ in 1881 2) 32.5˚ in 1975 and 2018 4) 32.9˚ in 1936 5) 33.5˚ in 1874 A few other cities rankings for the first 10 days of April: Des Moines: 2nd coldest at 32.2˚ Dubuque: coldest on record at 27.0˚ (previous #1 was 29.5˚ in 1975) Duluth: 2nd coldest at 20.9˚ Fort Wayne: 5th coldest at 35.4˚ Green Bay: coldest on record at 26.4˚ (previous #1 was 28.7˚ in 1923) Indianapolis: 5th coldest at 38.0˚ La Crosse: coldest on record at 28.9˚ (previous #1 was 30.6˚ in 1936) Madison: coldest on record at 27.8˚ (previous #1 was 28.5˚ in 1881) Milwaukee: 6th coldest at 31.4˚ Minneapolis: coldest on record at 25.1˚ (previous #1 was 27.1˚ in 1920) Moline: coldest on record at 31.7˚ (previous #1 was 32.0˚ in 1881) Peoria: coldest on record at 32.8˚ (previous #1 was 35.2˚ in 1926 and 1982) Rockford: coldest on record at 30.1˚ (previous #1 was 31.4˚ in 1975) St. Louis: 3rd coldest at 39.8˚ South Bend: coldest on record at 30.3˚ (previous #1 was 32.3˚ in 1936) Springfield: coldest on record at 35.4˚ (previous #1 was 35.8˚ in 1881) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams30721us Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Pretty remarkable that the all 10 days in April averaged below normal temps this year in DVN, even more remarkable that they all average 10-20+ degrees below normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be. Here are the guidelines for snow depth, which could explain it: if snow is on the ground but more than half the ground is bare, report “T”.

michsnowfreak Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 lol it was snowing again this morning. Wasn't even expecting it. Supposedly making a run at 50s this afternoon but Ill believe it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 It’s actually flurrying here right now with an air temp of about 43. Dews are in the low to mid 20s, so evaporation/sublimation keeping the flakes frozen to the ground. Will supposedly see low to mid 50s in a few hours.

Harry Perry Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Warm front should be interesting on Friday. If the front ends up 20-30 miles further south from some of the current guidance - it’ll end up being in the 40’s here and 70’s one county away.

Chambana Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 We are right at our average high for this time of year, but yet it just feels so amazing. Can smell a fresh cut lawn in the distance. I’m ready for this nonstop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Temp not far from 70. Should see some rather dramatic temperature swings in the next 72 hours, partly the result of lake enhanced boundaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
