OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Light drizzle this morning. The end is nigh for our snowpack locally I’m afraid. Rains and high dews later today should do most of it in but we’ll see what the yard looks like tomorrow after the backend duster. We’ve had snow otg for 70 consecutive days, it would have been 91 days if not for the 2 day melt just before Xmas. All good things must come to an end.

Brian D Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 First wave of snow/frz rn went through earlier this morning staying mainly to my south, and east. Looks like weatherbo has been seeing that stuff this morning. Looking at radar loop, precip that was frz rn over land quickly turns to all snow over the Lake. Colder air over the icy waters of Lake Superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Already 63 here just after 11am, MLI at 66. Should easily make the low 70s a bit later on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it disappears, probably be back to some degree with the roller coaster pattern this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Interesting, latest GFS/NAM runs show a miss with the snow tonight. Basically taking the same path as the first wave this morning. If so, that's ok too. Plenty of snow here, and don't need any ice. Guess we shall see if that pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I'm currently getting my second thunderstorm of the day. This time, the heavier cells faded southeast as they approached. I'm getting some thunder, but only light rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had a drop yet here, but the tradeoff is it's warmed up nicely with the sun mixed in. Up to 68 now, MLI prob at 70 by now. Not expecting a whole lot of QPF this evening since the precip will be hauling pretty quickly, but hopefully can squeeze out some thunder and a good downpour.

The rain is holding us down in the mid to upper 50s so far. Low 60s is probably the best we'll do this afternoon. The first shot of spring humidity is nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Looks like a shot at seeing a brief period of synoptic winds around 50MPH+ tonight in the metro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Was out in the suburbs and the ice accretion on trees was substantially more then in the city. HRRR wants to put a couple inches of snow down here overnight. We’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 ORD hit 70 on the 5 min obs, but possible that is a rounded reading. Means the high will be at least 69. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevlon62 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 180 miles on the sleds today. Freezing rain has been plentiful but mostly not a challenge, just a bit unusual to have ice on gear and the machines. Most of the trails were great.Freezing rain continues and starting to look wild outside here in Munising.We met someone who had been driving through it from Duluth with some pretty impressive accretion on the car! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Always a bit odd to see the large parking lot snow piles on a day like this. Just seems so out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Wow Minneapolis has been placed under a Winter Storm Warning for a glaze of ice and 2” of snow. Haven’t seen that one before. Low track is going well SE of guidance. Kept us in the “cold” sector all day. Forecast high was 44 we haven’t made it above 35 and should see slowly falling temperatures moving forward.

Hoosier Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 71 at MDW but 69 at ORD, which means it is not officially the first 70 degree day for Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 New record high today at MLI of 70, hit 69 here. Some nice CGs to the northwest a bit ago from these elevated cells moving through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 related posts go here: After today, looks seasonable through Wednesday after which highs drop into the 20s through the following weekend, although not dramatically/excessively cold air as depicted on some model runs (as usual).
