Also lets wait to start our Spring/Summer thread the first of April.

Doesn't look spring like much going forward with a cold Canada. Congrats DC south.

Remember ginx said "weeks of winter" for early March and ensembles looked frigid...when they certainly didn't, at all. They nailed this warm stretch really. Of course zero accountability

A couple counties around here canceled the test today citing the confusion and the fact they already tested them last week. The severe threat looks substantial here in Northern Indiana. That warm front is going to cut right through the area and any storm that latches onto it could rotate violently similar to what we saw in Michigan on Friday.

He probably sees the writing on the wall and checked out, like I'm about to.

March 7 1987: A heat wave across Minnesota brings the earliest 70 degree readings on record to the Twin Cities. The record high for the day was 73, breaking the old record by 13 degrees. Shorts were common and people were turning over dirt in their gardens for planting. 1950: A snow and ice storm hits Minnesota. The heaviest ice was in northwest and west central Minnesota, especially in Norman County near Twin Valley. 52 electrical poles were down in this area with ice up to 1 ½ inches on wires. All communication lines out of Fargo were out with wind gusts estimated up to 60 mph. In order to provide temporary long distance service to and from isolated communities, short wave radio equipment was used to bridge the gaps. In Pipestone, several plate glass windows were blown in. During the snowstorm that followed later in the day, a Northwest Airlines plane crashed into three homes in Minneapolis killing all 13 on the plane and two on the ground. The left wing of the plane struck a flagpole at Ft. Snelling National Cemetery as it circled to land. For Saturday, March 7, 2026 1717 - The Great Snow, a composite of four winter storms to hit the eastern U.S. in nine days, finally came to an end. Snow depths averaged 60 inches following the storm. Up to four feet of snow fell around Boston MA, and snow drifts 25 feet high were reported around Dorchester MA. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1932 - A severe coastal storm set barometric pressure records from Virginia to New England. Block Island RI reported a barometric pressure reading of 28.20 inches. (David Ludlum) 1987 - Forty-five cities in the north central and northeastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Huron SD hit 80 degrees, and Pickstown SD reached 81 degrees.

(The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990 - A major ice storm left much of Iowa under a thick coat of ice. It was the worst ice storm in at least twenty-five years for Iowa, perhaps the worst of the century. Up to two inches of ice coated much of western and central Iowa, with three inches reported in Crawford County and Carroll County. As much as five inches of ice was reported on some electrical lines. The ice downed 78 towers in a 17-mile stretch of a high voltage feeder near Boone costing three electric utilities fifteen million dollars. Damage to trees was incredible, and clean-up costs alone ran into the millions. Total damage from the storm was more than fifty million dollars. (Storm Data) March 8 2004: A vigorous Alberta Clipper brings an intense snow burst across the Twin Cities from 9:30 am to noon. 2.5 inches fell, with most of it accumulating in an hour at the State Climatology Office on the University of Minnesota St. Paul Campus. Numerous crashes were reported across the metro area with I-94 closed at Highway 280 and also at White Bear Avenue. In a rare scene, television programming was interrupted to report on the snow situation. By early afternoon most of the snow had moved into Wisconsin and road conditions rapidly improved. 1892: A blizzard hits Minnesota, with 70 mph winds recorded at Easton. Duluth was hit especially hard with 60 mph winds causing large drifts. Residents were able to walk out of their second story windows. 1717 - On Fishers Island in Long Island Sound, 1200 sheep were discovered to have been buried under a snow drift for four weeks. When finally uncovered, one hundred sheep were still alive. (The Weather Channel) 1909 - The town of Brinkley AR was struck by a tornado which killed 49 persons and caused 600,000 dollars damage.

Tornadoes killed 64 persons and injured 671 others in Dallas and Monroe counties during the Arkansas tornado outbreak. (David Ludlum) 1984 - A freak thunder snowstorm produced high winds, vivid lightning, and up to seven inches of snow in the northern suburbs of Washington D.C. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987) 1987 - Thirty-two cities in the eastern U.S. reported new record high temperatures for the date, including Madison WI with a reading of 71 degrees.

Next weeks cold shot is going to be a shock also. Highs around 30 with snow in the air and Tuesday morning lows, possibly around 10 degrees or lower... Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

28.9°F, Today should be the warmest of the last 3 here, May tickle 70.

I don't to basically post a double map, so I thought I'd add spc's discussion for tomorrow to your post. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html

Lows in the 20s for a lot of us Friday morning. Actually temps will be probably be in range of 35 to 45 degrees for a high Thursday. That could be some 35 to 40 degrees temp change in 24 hours. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Speaking of one extreme to the next. This is as extreme as you can get. 90 1 day and possible flakes the next. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Why did , your map chang? This isn't the one that you posted.

Lost my net last Friday aftrn. Outage in my area with Frontier. Finally came back during the overnight last night. Picked up 1.2" of snow last night as well.

Still looking like we go from storms to possibly some flakes Thursday in the high terrain. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

00z Euro has a line of boomers followed by a cold shot till mid week before warming up. We can endure that.

I wonder if the old folks are going to head to the basement for the 10am test Might be a confusing day for some

My Son and his budy from work had some luck the past two days on the Conawago West and the Susqy fishing from shore. I saw a few boats out today Lake Frederick Goldsborough area hitting in the mouths of the creeks.

Think of how nice it will be when we’re all uniformly 75/74 soon.

Yeah 25+ degree inversion today in like 700-800 feet. That's a hell of an inverse lapse rate. Is thunderfog a thing?

It legit was warm . Drenched in sweat. What was cool was you could feel the cold air coming off the remaining snowpack as the wind blew but was warm when you weren’t near the snow

Amazing difference between the hills and the valleys. 31 for a low here and 28 at IJD.

Up here in northeast Michigan I could see a "severe" ice storm tonight and tomorrow. Can someone please post the FRAM forecasts? Thanks

ready for some stones

Low of 26°.

Where is Ginxy’s biggun?
