CheeselandSkies Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Came out of work at noon to a clear blue sky, a touch of warmth from the midday sun, and the sirens blowing for the first-Wednesday-of-the-month test. A little eerie after what just happened in Tennessee, but nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Unbelievable how winter just died out as we rolled into March. I officially move next week down South and will have recorded my second round of golf this season on Sunday.

weatherbo Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Winter storm warning issued for a potent, quick hitting storm today and tonight. A foot of heavy wet snow is forecast here in the higher terrain along Superior, along with 40 mph winds later this evening. Should be a nice little event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 40-50mph winds out there. Sleet is mixing in with the cold rain showers. The pinging against the west windows is alarmingly loud lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Wow, nasty (and by nasty, I mean awesome!) outside. Snow is horizontal, I can hear it hitting the windows. Temp is 28 but should start dropping pretty quick. Five inches away from a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIstorm97 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 This warm winter is having multiple consequences, with one being the lack of ice on the Great Lakes. Lake Michigan is largely ice-free, and this means that high wind events still have the potential to cause shore damage and flooding in times where there would usually be lake ice protecting the shore. Today looks to be one of those days from Chicago to SW MI. Strong NNW winds, gusting up to at least 50mph in instances, will be blowing down the length of the lake. Waves of 14-18 feet are expected, with maximum occasional wave heights of 22-23 feet. This is on top of a storm surge of up to 1.5 feet from the continued push of water to the southern shoreline. The eastern half of the Indiana shore into far SW MI looks to have the highest waves and worst impacts. I'll be out there today, as I love documenting these high wave events. With the near-record high lake levels continuing, this has the potential to once again be a damaging event along the shore. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Well yesterday we got out first rain event of the spring. Just a few showers before they switched to snow. Barely any accumulation form the snow either. This weekend looks great though. 53 on Saturday and 61(!) on Sunday. Definitely in Spring now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Storm is over, just lingering flurries pretty much. Storm total somewhere between 10 and 11 inches. MQT reported 10.4" with liquid equiv of 1.22", so ratios were a little lower than expected. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The storm just off the east coast today is expected to drop from the 990s to the 960s in only twelve hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, big time. Unfortunately for them most of the snow is offshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIstorm97 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Well today has certainly lived up to the forecast in NW IN and SW MI. Was out with fellow member Illinoiswedges documenting the high wave event. We saw very large waves, significant erosion and property damage, and flooding. Video to come. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherMonger Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hit 68 degrees today, warmest day since Oct. 19th. Be nice when these temps get here without the higher winds. As sad as the winter had seemed, still ended up nearly 10" above normal on snowfall. I'm ready to hear some thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
