TheClimateChanger Posted Monday at 08:38 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:38 PM Nice taste of spring today in the Ohio Valley, with some record highs being met or exceeded. Enjoy the warmth because it might be short-lived. I believe this is what they call "false spring" in these parts. As of the top of the hour, Columbus, Ohio was up to 63F, tying the record set on this date in 2020 and 1890; Dayton, Ohio was up to 65F, beating the prior record of 62F set in 2020 and 1927; Cincinnati, Ohio was up to 66F, tying the record set in 1883; Indianapolis, Indiana was up to 67F, tying the record set in 2020; South Bend, Indiana was up to 55F, tying the record set in 2020; Evansville, Indiana was up to 72F, breaking the record of 70F set in 2020; Paducah, Kentucky was up to 71F, tying the record set in 2020; Jackson, Kentucy was up to 70F, breaking the record of 69F set in 2020; and Lexington, Kentucky was up to 71F, breaking the record of 70F set in 1890. The temperature at Louisville stood at 73F, one shy of the 2020 record value. Any other record reports out there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted Monday at 11:27 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:27 PM We did lose our snow (other than piles) but only hit 43. I had no idea it was so warm just to our south! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted Tuesday at 12:15 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:15 AM It only made it to 33 here. The snow cover remains. There has really only been a couple of small periods when there hasn’t been some snow cover here this winter. The longest being a few days at the end of last year/very beginning of this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted Tuesday at 12:22 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:22 AM MPX was very bullish on the weekend potential. Wednesday doesn’t look that impressive here though, my location is too far south, north and west of most of the precipitation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a really good winter for snowcover (albeit not deep) for the thumb and Detroit's far NW/elevated suburbs. Even for DTW proper there has been "some" snow, even if just a trace, on the ground most of winter. We are now down to bare ground except for piles but HOPEFULLY the next week and afterward produce with some more cold coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted Tuesday at 03:47 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:47 AM Very nasty icing here this evening. My driveway was covered by 1/8" of ice. We had heavy fog and drizzle all day. Now that temps are below freezing the past several hours with RH still around 100%, the driveways and back roads have become horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowfall has been bad around Northern Ohio the past few years. Its all relative though... 50" of snow in the snowbelt just east of Cleveland is considered a bad Winter. There are areas east of Cleveland that have likely had 90"+ already this Winter so the airport location is not a great representation of the entire area. 34 straight days of snowcover imby this year so no complaints compared to the past two winters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King James Posted Tuesday at 02:08 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:08 PM Mid 30’s all day in Chicago burbs. Kinda just raw and uncomfortable..Yesterday we touched 60 here in IKK. Read 64 on the car dash. Full sun and no wind. A true spring feel. Temp dropped like 30 degrees in an hour around 3pm. I’ve lived near the lake growing up and yesterday was the most noticeable temp drop in my memory. Maybe because I wasn’t ready for it, but it was quick and it was noticeable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel bad for any winter enthusiasts living there. I actually prefer the moniker, "The Best Location in the Nation. Cleveland, Ohio" as the great Bruce Kalinowski, then going by the name, Bruce Edwards, to survive in a vehemently anti-ethnic South, used to say. Bruce being well known from his days on The Weather Channel. Indeed, he was the live meteorologist for The Weather Channel's first ever broadcast way back in 1982. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted Tuesday at 03:27 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:27 PM I work right by a window looking out into my backyard. The yard is now frozen brown/yellow/pale green grass with a few snow piles and I am always reminded how much I HATE looking at bare ground after a prolonged period of snowcover, even not deep. I mean, it sucks anytime, but its less of an "ugh" factor when you have only had snowcover for a few days. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a glacier IMBY but a nice fresh covering would be nice!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These next two ice storms will keep our ground ugly but maybe we cover it up again after that. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a good way to compare this is to simply look at the data. I like to call that part of Michigan, the "banana belt" of Michigan. Despite the record-breaking snowfall drought at Cleveland over the past 10 years, snowfall at Detroit has averaged only 0.8"/year more. It's taken an unprecedented drop in snow at Cleveland for Detroit to have a competitive snowfall decade. That should tell you enough about which of these cities has a superior snowfall climate. Even worse as you head south towards the Ohio line, including places like Temperance & Monroe, as shown by the data from Toledo Express Airport over that interval.

TheClimateChanger Posted Tuesday at 05:46 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:46 PM Historically, Detroit has been a horrible city for snow. In decades past, even the lower elevations of southern West Virginia used to receive as much snowfall as Detroit. Unfortunately, climate change has destroyed seasonal snowfall in the south, so this is no longer true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
