weatherbo Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Despite 2.4" of rain since Thursday, and hitting 60 degrees Saturday for the first time since October 4th (a record stretch of 198 days at MQT), winter's grip is still slow to loosen deep in the north woods of Superior. Snow has now been on the ground pretty much 6 months now and the first flakes of the season flew September 29th, just short of 7 months ago. Amazing climate! 36 with rain and fog this morning. Another 1.5-2" in the forecast with a flood watch and advisory already in effect... will struggle to reach 40 with deep upslope/onshore ne flow. Around my place this morning... a good book by the fire kinda day 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around my place this morning... a good book by the fire kinda day Very impressive. I imagine that 2018-19 in MQT is also in the Top 3 for consecutive days with 1"+ snow depth (164 days - November 9th to April 21st). It's a shame that snowfall in March-April was much below normal, because otherwise they would have probably shattered the record. MQT has only had 16.8" of snow in March-April; normal is 48".

Even with a lackluster finish, this was a great winter by any standard, imo... snow, ice, depth, cold, longevity. It's weird how living in a snowy climate changes your perspective. Winter can go in peace. Knowing 100% the snow is coming back without fail, somehow allows me to enjoy the spring and summer months that much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I could be hitting 20C for the first time this year in a few hours, same with the UW station. There are a few more clouds than I anticipated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NegativeEPO Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Serious question: why have we been stuck in this garbage pattern since late January? This is NOT normal at all.

CheeselandSkies Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Perhaps this is better suited for banter/complaint, but these last few days of 70s (with strong thunderstorms yesterday evening!) during the day and upper 40s to 50s at night have felt awesome. The grass has greened up nicely, the crocuses are coming up, and the tree buds are really popping. So all I gotta say is... ...it better not ****-ing snow again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2Otown_WX Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Man, Euro looks snowy for Saturday. Glad I'm off. Funny thing is my boss put the snow boards away so I think it's basically a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEPO Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Having a snowstorm in late April at this latitude isn't normal, whether you like snow or not. Having a strong, bowling ball system traversing the mid latitudes this time of the year is NOT normal. I'm just very concerned about the future of our climate, that's all. Something is messing up the weather patterns across the globe, and I have an idea on what it might be. I believe it to be man-made, however, which is very disconcerting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 It's the hot dense exhaust gasses from Jet engines traversing the -30 degree air in the stratosphere. Kinda like taxi cab tail pipes in NYC in Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like taxi cab tail pipes in NYC in Jan. Except they stay in one spots for hours and do not disperse. I'll bow out and leave it be, as this is not what this forum is for, but CIA through a FOIA already conceded these are not contrails. Also, important to remember the National Science Foundation absorbed part of the Department of Defense back in the late 50's,early 60's. Anyway, yeah, not jet exhaust.
