hawkeye_wx Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Three thunderstorms today dropped a total of 0.51" of rain in my yard. Clouds and storms prevented our temperature from rising above the low 60s. Nothing to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Finished with 0.25" rain, but guessing we probably got a few tenths more than that since we had sideways rain for several minutes with the high winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Well this turned out better then expected. What looked like a snowpack eating storm ended up adding to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Officially 3.3” overnight. I was measuring closer to 4”-4.5” imby, there’s a stoat ice/slush layer on the bottom which will no doubt compact. Official snow depth at the airport back to 6” With the condensed 2” crust glacier that survived the rain yesterday, and this new stuff on top, our snowpack now holds a ton of much needed moisture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Wind seems to be the theme lately. We have had several very windy systems in February and now March. I recorded a 63 MPH gust overnight with only 0.07” of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frog Town Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 0Z Euro has an epic system just 5 days out for much of the sub. Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Posted earlier in wrong thread. .6 inches of freezing rain yesterday and last night with about a 1/4" of accretion in the trees. The area around the house is frozen standing water on top of packed snow and the snowpack itself has this thick half inch crust of ice on top. The warmest it reached yesterday was 31 but the morning before was -4 and coming off a stretch of below zero nights... very cold ground temps This place is frozen up. Temp has fallen to 23 with misty flurries. Not cold enough for LE with superior being near its seasonal coldest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An initial upper wave puts down a swath of snow from NE to northern IA. Then, another potent upper wave drops down and spins up a new system farther southeast. Very cold air gets pulled down behind the second system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Yesterday/last night was the desperately needed salt-washer that we never really got all of March and April last year. Problem is, it's going to snow again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had more than his share of health problems that's for sure. I enjoy his snow church videos which hopefully he'll resume soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Didn't know if I should put this in banter or in the March thread, but I was noticing how despite the usual ups and downs, crap decembers and and snowy februaries, we are on pace to have a 3rd straight near "average" snow season in terms of total snowfall. The reason it's notable is because it's actually quite rare to have average snowfall. It's usually either above or below. The 1991-2020 average snowfall at Detroit is 45.0". Interesting to note this is the highest the 30 year average has ever been for snowfall, thanks to some banner years, but snowfall has been fairly consistent (low 40s-ish) throughout the climate record with the huge exception of the WTF 1930s to 1960s. 2019-20: 43.7" 2020-21: 44.9" 2021-22: 39.6" thru 3/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Besides the ice storm, it's been very quiet up here in terms of snowfall since the big snow the last week of Feb. Have only had maybe 3" of snow this month so far. Peeks of sun this morning illuminating the ice still crackling in the trees. Should see a high in the mid to upper 20's today. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten steps and I turned around. It's not artifact snow yet. The latest I've seen snow otg here is mid-may and that year it was deeper and had more water content than the current snowpack does. If it's a cold spring it will linger into May, if it's average from here out, by mid-April most of the snow will be gone... unless of course there's a big dog somewhere down the line. I'm satisfied with winter so it can go either way and I don't much care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Here's the ranking for the North Central US stations. Ranked from the coldest again this month. Max avg's were all over the board with well above to well below avg. Min avg's were near to well below normal. BTW, Hibbing, MN recorded this Feb as its coldest with temp records starting in 4/1938.
