I'm really starting to wonder if it's linked to climate change. I'd much have rather have it the other way around though, that's for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 One thing with this incoming stormy pattern, it is probably going to be a wet first 2 weeks of April across most of the subforum. With areas to the NW potentially still getting snow ala April 2013. Hopefully not to that extent though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 One interesting thing about that CFS map, there are cold anomalies in the West as well. So it's not the usual pattern of a locked in Hudson Bay vortex/PV lobe pouring cold air into the Lakes/East while the West bakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 This was moisture laden system. A two day total of 13 inches here with 10 of that falling since 10 pm. Snow has ended but the wind is howling. MQT received 12.5" (2.12" liquid equiv) with 44" otg this morning... parts of the central UP no doubt saw 2 feet. "Getting reports of impassible roads across southern Marquette, parts of Delta and Alger counties. There's probably some in Schoolcraft and Luce as well. If you don't have to be out today, stay home and give the plows a chance to clear things out." Feel like this is gonna be one helluva long melt this year. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackstraw Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Trey over at Convective Chronicles did a nice little video about a possible trend between a super (>2years) La Nina to El Nino transition during the early Spring months and an uptick (actually more normal) in tornado outbreaks in tornado ally and the Ohio valley in his tornado forecast for this Spring. We've been in a pretty boring dry spell for even simple pop up severe weather around here the past few years. After yesterday and the outlook next week its definitely looking more interesting this year than the massive boredom the last few years around here. While long range fantasy land is showing the cold/snow hanging on in the northern Plains and northern Great Lakes there are continued signals of good quality airmass divergence and favorable storm track zones along those boundaries from the plains through the lower Great Lakes and the Mid Mississippi/Ohio Valley's. The South cant have it all all the time and I'd bet they'd like a break. JMO 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my sig, and you can see what DLH, TH 7NW needs, although TH 7NW is behind in reporting. He/she likes to send in data once a week or so, so should be updated soon. Next weeks storm could do the trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course April 14-16 2018 with nearly 16” of snow proved anything can happen this time of year. If we measured snow at the NWS site in the suburbs we’d already be there. Duluth has a very realistic shot with less then 10” to go and 4-6 more weeks of realistic time left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if you guys don't get at least 4-5 inches out of Tuesday's storm, your probably not going to hit the record unless something really stupid happens later in the month. The overall pattern looks to be shifting to warmth or at least average (finally) and while there is a chance for snow for a couple more weeks yet at MSP's latitude. It's pretty hard to do anything significant outside of a 4/13/18 style event which most likely isn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 It’s April 2nd, there’s 6-8” of rock hard snow otg, I enjoyed 10 days skiing out west in March including getting home from Sun Valley yesterday where it was non stop powder. I think I’ll go ski my local hill today for the closing party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Last week's warmth and thundery rain has started the greening up process around here. Lawns are waking up from their winter slumber, and tree buds have swollen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Snow band came through for an hour around 10 am. Flakes got up to 50c, and even golf ball size. Winds were calm. That was a beautiful sight! Picked up a quick inch of fluff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnchaserguy Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 MSP finally hit 50 degrees today, officially breaking our streak of 126 days without hitting 50 degrees or warmer. Man it’s been a long winter. Finally feels like spring out there. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
