Geoboy645 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Funnily enough Sunday is the 30th anniversary of this storm. https://www.weather.gov/mkx/051090-spring-snowstorm. This storm dropped up to 6 inches in a band from Green Bay to Waukesha. Unfortunately the heavy snow caused a ton of tree damage. What's weird is that that winter also started early in October.It is just odd hoe this year has followed 1990 almost to a T patterns-wise. Hopefully that continues as the second half of that month turned out to be pretty warm and stormy for the region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Waukegan (UGN) is only 38 degrees at 12 noon, with a WC of 30. Midnight high was 41. ORD had a midnight high of 45, and is currently 43 with a WC of 34. So, the record low max of 42 in 1960 will hold. In WI, the coldest low temp I found this morning was 21 in Minocqua. In Rhinelander at 12 noon, it's 29/8, WC 20. Dropped to 24 there this morning, just missing the May 8th record low of 22 set in 2017 and 1929. Normal low is 38. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not even one month after I was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not even one month after I was born. Toured the western U.P. (the one and only time) that following July of '90 where they'd had 14+" IIRC. Peeps were still talking about the huge May snowstorm even then. Spent the night in Munising. Stepped out to 37F and a very frosted car in mid-July! From firsthand experience, 1989-90 was a much better winter for most of the Mitt except perhaps far SEMI. I'd say only Detroit's historic storm this past Nov was on par. Oddly, the one corner of the state NOT slammed by the Nov '89 blizzard. Wx will even itself out over time.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowfall at Detroit during the 2 winters was very close (1989-90 had 41.8" and 2019-20 had 43.2"). Although 1989-90 was quite a bit colder over all, both had out of season blasts of cold and warm weather as well as early and late snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro's and cons for both but I think clouds will fill back in and with the wind staying up and being so close to the lake, I'm gonna say over and go with 23 for the low.

Yeah the wind is the main reason I am hesitant to go below 27 here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Had SN with nearly full sunlight at times, a rarity. It felt like snow was falling on a summer afternoon! Clouds looked cool today. It was a fun wx day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
