51 Aprils up here and 51 Aprils it has snowed.

Haha! West Ishpeming was -13.

Wintry drive this morning

You have more. Better echoes have been down there. Nearing 2” now IMG_8879.mov

Chilly mixed bag Wed.

Bryan, you must have more than 1.2 inches. Look at this. I mean that’s more than 3 inches on top of the birdbath already. 79726418536__E72723D6-6D1E-43C6-8719-887BABD3CDC7.MOV

I'll gladly take somewhat above normal temps to get copious precip.

If you want hot weather in April, well then, here you go - MU Weather Center REAL spring is about to arrive.. and in a big way.. across the eastern U.S. next week. I might be on "90 watch" next Tues and/or Wed!

My granddaughter's wedding is Sat eve, so this will start just in time after that blessed day.

Yea, need to take him with a grain of salt...I have noticed that you can really treat folks in the met community like models. They all have something to offer, but you are best suited to become familiar with their biases and tendencies in order to know how to screen their feedback and view them through the proper lens. Webb never simply offers an opinion or a take...it's always an OPINION or a TAKE. Perfect example of what social media does to an otherwise fine met.

GWDLT!! Sunny and 48 down here.

Most of our warmups over perform and you will have fairly dry ground with no leaves on trees-take the over here.

Saw Northfield in the news yesterday...rough spot!

I'm heading to the Virgin Islands for 11 days starting on Thursday. Perfect timing, I need a break from here.

The usual suspects are all trying to outdo one another for clicks. Nobody knows with certainty what ssta will look like after the wwb, which is what counts, along with what comes after. Enso predictions have a way of humbling the honest forecasters imho.

But that's just not always true - just go back to last week. On Thursday afternoon temps in eastern PA were mostly in the 40s. 24 hours later we were in the low 70s. At least at my house, it was 25 degrees warmer on Friday PM than it was Thursday PM.

I think folks are getting carried away with it this early to be frank. Not to say that winter can still suck...nothing to do with that.

33F beautiful!!!

I was at Hershey Park for 7 hours Saturday. This weather would have been much preferable. Mid 80's and the sun beating in those lines was not enjoyable. At least I didn't go Friday and have to deal with that giant fight. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Chilly morning with +/- sd's across the area with teens along the shore. -11 at Hog Creek in Cook county. Along the BWCA it looks like. Seagull Lake N of there at -7. Top 5 cold snap looking at records. Similar cold snap back in 2023.
