weatherbo Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Had fun doing some shooting with a buddy down in Negaunee today. Measured 26 inches 5 miles north of town at the gun club. Going to see snow into May this year unless we get some warmth and rain. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Picked up 0.1" of snow early this morning. Snowed most of the day but didn't stick. Our 3-day stretch of 70s next Mon-Wed has now been reduced to just Wed on new Euro, with Mon/Tue staying pretty chilly. Then several more days of cold to follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Today was day 11 with at least a trace of precipitation at KGRB. That has to be getting close to a record for KGRB. We probably have a break here the next two days, but then have more chances of rain pretty much all week next week. Since March 5th we have had over 7.5" of rain, including the rainiest March on record for KGRB with essentially 6". Any semblance of drought here from over the fall and winter is totally gone, at least short-term. It will be very interesting to see if this wet pattern continues later into the spring or if we go back into the dry pattern from fall and winter. Now only if we could get some warmth with this and we will be right back on schedule for green-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Shoveled 8 inches of snow off the deck this morning, all of that falling from Thursday night through earlier this morning. The high today should reach the mid-30's and then upper 40's the next 4 days with lows barely falling to freezing. I think the long awaited door to spring has finally opened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year was weird. In the 8 years I've lived here, I had never seen the snow leave so early. Barely crossed 150 inches here which is around 80 inches below normal.

hawkeye_wx Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Cedar Rapids hit 70º this afternoon, the first time since March 21st. It was not expected at all. The forecast had only recently got bumped up to the mid 60s. It's too bad the wind was too strong to really enjoy the nice temp for most of the day.

Powerball Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 18z GFS is definitely far more reasonable in the long range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Hopefully we can do a first 70 tomorrow. 67 on March 17 is the highest so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomp2mp Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 71° imby, first 70° day since March 18th, and first day in April above 60°. Clouds are starting to roll in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have a shot at 70º on Tuesday, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a terrible day, but the front just came through at a bad time. I enjoyed waking up to some claps of thunder around 4am this morning. As much as you can enjoy being awoken too early. Somehow missed the rain completely though. I think a cell passed just barely north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past few days have been pretty nice with mid 60s, although yesterday's 40mph winds cut into that a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Curious state of affairs here. All afternoon it has been raining, but not raining. Concentrated drizzle? At least it has been 60 degrees so it does not feel too raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
