cyclone77 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 MLI with just 0.6" overnight (only 0.2" at DVN as well), so still 2.4" of buffer left to achieve seasonal futility. Looks like we'll rebound to the 60s already tomorrow, and then back to back 70s for Tue/Wed. Gotta love March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 80 degrees here around 3pm Friday. To go from that to this in about 40 hours is that late 90s/early 00s climate I remember growing up with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am around 23 miles northeast of RFD, and 10 or so miles away from the IL/WI border. RFD, as of a little over an hour ago, picked up 3.1 inches from the snow band. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Things have wrapped up, 4.6” here. #1 event of the year 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciascia Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 A trained spotter measured 4.5 inches in Capron, IL (super close to me) at 8:13am. I’m going to guess that easily jumped over 5, maybe even 6 if they can chime in again later. If it hit 6 inches, that would be the top event of the season.

So, one of the usual early bloom-ers. However, there are some other species at nearly the same level as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive noticed the silver maples started budding this week here, just the color (probably the light angle) of that one pic made it look different. I usually expect the silver maples to start doing this in March, one of the earliest ones, then after a while those buds rain down everywhere making a mess on the street, then it still seems like a while after that before leaves pop. Long process. Meanwhile, other species of maples you can barely see the buds (unless you look closely) then theyll suddenly pop those lime flowers then leaves (of course this hasnt happened yet lol).

Haha yeah, it's not surprising. All winter when it was cold most of the time we couldn't buy a flake, and now every system comes out wants to snow on us lol. Luckily still a 2.4" cushion to work with, so if we can get past this storm with 2" or less still have a good shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVN has only been around for 30 years or so, so doesn't have the historical records like MLI, which has been around since 1880 or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Winter storm watch one county south. This one is starting to have the same feel as the March 5th storm with models trending northwest and a sharp snowfall gradient setting up over the metro. March has been rocking this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
