Oh I do love the April highs in the low 40s and melt on contact “snow.” March and April will be our snowiest months, mark these words 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchener poster Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Not much wind for the past week. I’ve seen lots of people hiking about and lots of the urban trails are packed. It’s actually been nice. That said I’m ready for the weather to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississaugasnow Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Im thinking most of January is a dud. Not saying something random couldn't come about, look at Texas-Alabama right now lol. But overall Im okay with it because if it means February can be rocking then we have a warm early spring hopefully. I love March with highs in the 40s/50s and sun with clear chilly nights in the low 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTechEE Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Yep pretty bad with Gulf coast states gets more snow in one storm than we've had all winter season! Parts of Spain which rarely gets snow got almost 2ft! https://wgntv.com/news/unusual-snow-kills-4-brings-much-of-spain-to-a-standstill/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping to see 70s in March. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snownado Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 We will be at the half way point of winter on Thursday. What a horrible first half in Indy. Unless the second half delivers something memorable this will be a winter to forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto average high early March is 33F low 24F End of March 44F low 32F Indy- Early March 46F low 30F End of March 58F low 40F Every single spring, those 70s-80s you guys get end up getting crushed crossing Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and translate to 30s/40s along the lake and 50/60s inland. Buffalo for example is significantly colder in the spring than Rochester. Im now 15 miles from both Lake Ontario and Lake Erie so my house will be 55F and sunny but if you drive to the shore its foggy and 35F. Its pretty cool to watch your truck thermometer just plummet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal high for IND on March 1st is 45 and on the 31st 58. You might see a couple of 70° days in March, but not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokomoWX Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 It is so odd to see the misplaced winter warnings. I really have no faith in it improving IMBY despite some discussion in the other threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can hope it turns out to be really good instead of "better" but no guarantees of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The details are unknown, but its definitely a wintrier, more active look then the complete zzzz thats been in place at least a week. With the dead of Winter approaching I looked up snowcover as a metric to see when the highest percentage of time with snow on the ground was for Detroit. The highest likelihood of having snow on the ground is January 6th to February 17th, with the best time, aka the dead of Winter, being January 25th to February 3rd. Interestingly it's almost 3 times as likely to have snow on the ground on March 1st as it is on December 1st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting that Detroit is 3 times as likely to have snow on fhe ground on March 1 than Dec 1. I can only assume the avg temps are colder on March 1 than Dec 1.

But obviously you are heading in different directions going into December versus going into March. There have been stretches over the course of the climate record where December has been a very wintry month but for the most part January and February are harsher Winter months than December. In recent years February seems to be the go to month for lots of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty cool to watch your truck thermometer just plummet Our avg high and low on March 31 is 45F and 28F, respectively. But I agree, it can be tough to get warm temperatures especially near the Lake when spring starts up. YYZ didn't even crack 60F last April which has never happened before since records began. To make it even worse we didn't even crack 70F till May 22 lol. Now that's rare but it goes to show you how hard it can be to get warmth to cross the escarpment in spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Was looking at 1920-21 in Chicago, which is the least snowy winter of all-time with only 9.8". On January 11, 1921, the seasonal total stood at 5.9", which is actually slightly ahead of the current 2020-21 total. December 1920 was the snowiest month that winter, and not like it was a great month of course. There was a remarkable shutdown of snow from January onward. Before I get chided by michsnowfreak lol, I don't actually think this record will be broken, but it is interesting to look back and see just how bad it can be in your core winter months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snownado Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I hate inversions. Why does it seem like Indiana has more inversions compared to places on the east coast and the south ? Is it all because of Lake Michigan ? Im just trying to understand why clouds are more stubborn here than in Atlanta or New York. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so full of yourself. Stop riding Angrysummons so hard. I don't agree with everything he posts, but he is allowed a voice. You want to silence any opposition to anything you don't like. Also, you just put down most of the forum according to you because only the "good posters" saw it and everyone else was to slow to figure it out. I am not saying you have to like him or agree with him, but just ignore him if you don't like his posts. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
