bowtie` Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Some interesting fun a couple of hours ago here. Crews and services investigate loud boom near Hamilton County | wthr.com I had just walked back from dinner downtown and was walking to the car to put it in the garage. I heard the rolling boom and thought thunder or there as a big train wreck. It was 100% overcast here so I did not see any flash. Came in the house and turned on the puter and when the radar came up I saw nothing even close to me that could have made any thunder. A real head-scratcher. Turned on the radio scanner and here the town east of here inspecting a large natural gas line in the country but not finding anything. Just before I hit the shower I heard the dispatcher mention either the NWS or EMS thought it might have been a meteor. Too bad it was overcast and I as not out taking sunset pics. Might not have got it even if I could see it. Post sunset I am usually focused to the west and if it was east of me I probably would not have been able to get swung around in time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainsucks Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 regardless of how the pattern in the extended plays out, I’m just glad we saw some actual warmth this month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Woke up to a dusting of snow. Very likely our last accumulating snowfall of the season but we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see or hear anything, but there were hundreds of reports all across Indiana. The link you posted has been updated (at the end) to include a security video of a meteor. I'd say mystery solved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 34 here this morning. Looks like near 30 tonight, and a hard freeze likely on Monday morning. Other than today and tomorrow it doesn't look bad at all in the afternoons all week. May even make it back to near 70 on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 In addition to setting a new seasonal snowfall record, Duluth finished in 2nd place for 1"+ snow cover days. Unless there's an unusual snow event over the next couple of weeks, this season will end with 157 days. The record is 167 days in 1995-96. And, Duluth finished with 151 consecutive days of 1"+ snow cover (Nov 15th through April 14th). As impressive as this is, it falls quite a bit short of the record 164 days in 1995-96 (Nov 10th through April 21st). Both of those 1995-96 records will be very difficult to break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Several nice bursts of snow pellets/snow showers/and rain as well. One moving through right now has dropped the temp about 5 degrees in 10 mins. Steep lapse rates today to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Long range looking bleak. Will the volcano eruption have any impact on this summer? Including a potential moderate nino first time since 2009, we may have a cool summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardypalmguy Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 That’s usually about the time most of the remaining snow is gone around here. Suicide weather. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardypalmguy Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Don’t tell hardypalmdude he’s gonna cream his boyshorts We just need to have the remaining winter cold dissipate. What we have is a warm Canada, polar jet evaporated and we are left with the stagnant leftovers (ie blocked pattern). Once it dissolves to nothing we can resume warmth. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like snow will be gone a tad sooner this year (maybe another week) thanks to the crazy week of warmth, I can't imagine how long it'd have hung around if this had been a typical April. Cool one today with a high of 34 forecast but at least the uprising and violence in the coop is under control now that the ladies are able to roam, scratch around, eat worms. Thankfully they'll shit more outside too. winter coop duty- not fun. remaining snowpack 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in the Northland then. Was the longest winter ever for me personally and greatest holiday snow depth (40") imby ever. With family up riding sleds at Christmas it was truly the stuff of white dreams. Now, without any of that in play, it would be an absolute nightmare, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 The only upside to this cold spell is that it has stunted the rapid progress of spring at a nice period here in SEMI to extend bloom time which always passes too quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroits record for snowcover and deep snow depth was, you guessed it, 2013-14. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Helens had a very very small effect and this was quite a lot smaller than that. People don't realize the magnitude you need to have an actual impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, the atmospheric effects from Mount Pinatubo's eruption in June 1991 was delayed until the following Summer (1992) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
