Some leftover snow also remains in shaded areas adjacent to people's houses. I have a few shaded piles but its mostly just in parking lots now.

Brian D Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Looks like some rain with thunder possible before the snow tonight. It's been a few weeks since this amount has been forecast for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 The Wednesday morning rain/thunder really fizzled for my area, instead tracking farther nw. All I got was a spritz. I'm hoping a decent line can solidify and move through this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 43 at noon, steady light rain with a few heavier bursts this morning. Hate to see the snow vanish but nice to wash all of the crude off the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 After starting the day in the low 30s temps skyrocketed and Detroit tied the record high of 70. Had lunch at the park with a friend and it was interesting to feel how frigid the air coming right off the water felt then as soon as you walked a bit away it got so much warmer. I have a wide driveway and the one side of it gets no sunlight so I usually have a lot of snow piled. There's been at least some bit of snow there since November 30th but it should go tonight.
