OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 We went from the earliest 70 on record yesterday to snow flurries today. Second weather whiplash in under a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Locally and in Waterloo/Windsor just had their earliest 20C reading in recorded history! Got to 22C in Windsor. I didn't think I'd see Mar 8, 2000 beat for decades even with the warming climate since there is no correlation to first 20C reading on that. It appears to be sunny too, insane!!

CheeselandSkies Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Scarcely a drop today, everything managed to miss just to the southeast. Looks like this next little batch coming up between Belleville and Fitchburg will, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 This was a big ol' dud here. I got 0.02". The late-week system had better pan out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Most of this afternoon/evening's activity has skirted this immediate area, but a nice cell just hit with a brief torrential downpour and some sleet sized hail. Picked up a quick 1/4" of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 nice garden variety with a heavy soak, keeping any d1 away which is crucial in the modern era imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogget Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Looks like just over an inch here, from training storms moving southwest to northeast. Unfortunately, the doggo is not a fan of thunder so last night was not restful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 0.30” here. Not a bad start to the month. Hoping the upcoming weeks will get us a couple more inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Awesome lightning strike today about 200-300 yards from my house. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Another one with debris sticking in the ground (there were several but this was the best one). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 The lightning strike has debris scattered over 100' radius area. Great storm this morning!! Edit: Also at the base of the tree there was about 1-1.5' deep hole. I took a picture but it just looks like a bunch of dirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Another miss SE for much needed precipitation. 0.78” since January 1st in Minneapolis. That has to be among the lowest total in the region. I noticed some trees are budding down in the Minnesota River valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Looks like a good chance at a 1" soaker tomorrow night and Friday. We've been very dry after the mid Jan snowstorms so the moisture will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, we're in for quite a prolonged overcast stretch through the weekend. Dreading this month will be dealing with a hangover from the very cloudy January many of us had earlier this year.

Better to get the overcast stretches out of the way now, before the Solar Eclipse in a few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Speaking of the eclipse, I put my forecast for it on the Holiday Forecast thread today. Wx been so boring around here, and dry. Classic El Nino wx I guess. And I'll be posting Feb/Winter anom charts a little late this month. Want to wait for more datasets to report. Gonna be close to the record of Feb 1998, if not beat it.
