CheeselandSkies Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Can it please stop being mostly overcast and in the 30s/40s? I don't get how even after a relatively mild winter with our snowpack nuked by the end of the first week of March, proper spring still takes forever to get here. People wanting to get out and "social distance" in 60s-70s and sunshine are gonna have to wait another 3-4 weeks at the least, and that's not gonna be pretty. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIstorm97 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Ended up having a last-minute rally this morning. Only was at 1.6" at 8am, but a burst of parachutes rained down after that. Was able to get up to 2.3" before the snow turned off. Immediate melting began, and now the snow is basically all gone. Still was a nice distraction from everything going on. My seasonal total is now up to 47.0". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I have not been paying attention because I too had no idea Columbus had that much rain. Detroit is only at 1.58" precipitation for the month, was 1.39" before yesterdays snowfall. Toledo is only at 2.00", was 1.81" before yesterday's snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps are running nearly 5 degrees above normal for the month thus far in Madison. Not every March can be like 2012. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Today was one of the worst March days. Dank garbage. Just now, Maxim said: Think you should move further south.

True, and I'm a little further north in latitude than there with a even more appalling cloud cover regime. Going to fight to get the F outta here long-term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty, plus got daytime heavy parachutes. The 47.0" imby for this season is not bad at all considering how many storms have fallen apart.

There were some decent storms this Winter, cant complain about that. In my opinion storms falling apart was not an issue locally. Periods of sustained Winter and more frequent Lake effect and enhanced snow is what was really the lacking aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Read in a few places 10-20% of the data usually available to the models has been missing the last couple of weeks due to the reduction of commercial flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 After a high of 42 yesterday and some rain and snow overnight, temps are a little cooler today but still 35 degrees already, which isn't bad at all. Thaw has seemed slow this year, the high water content of the snow pack is one reason. Ready to call it a season... Itching to get outside and start spring projects and winter clean up... still a month out probably In case anyone is missing snow, this is what it looks like at my house Edit: 2:30 pm 37 degrees... what a difference the sun makes 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 First thunder of the year a bit ago. Had a brief, but nice downpour roll through and quickly dropped 0.12" of rain. Tiny hail core just missed southeast with what was probably peas. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Got the first thunder of the year, and a lighting flash that got my fat ass out of my hot tub quickly.

Now over 2.6", with almost an inch since midnight. Torrential rain falling right now, so we'll blow by 3" in the next 10-15mins. Lots of flash flooding going on from here down into the QC. EDIT: Just ran downstairs to check the basement, since this is the first very heavy rain event in the new house. So far so good. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
