Chinook

It used to be that the Canadian global model had a lot of tropical cyclone candidates, sub-1000mb lows, during the warm season. I feel like they have changed a major component of that.

I really didn't know these severe days had this many reports. You might say that this is a lot of tornadoes on 3/15. A lot of (perhaps, brief,) QLCS tornadoes were added to the storm reports in the last couple of days

First ever March hurricane upcoming

At my place, we easily had 3 ft of snow next to the driveway in 2021

This is an 84 degree temperature, like summertime at 5600ft above sea level Boulder-JeffCo Airport Conditions at: KBJC observed 19 March 2026 20:45 UTC Temperature:29.0°C (84°F) Dewpoint:-9.0°C (16°F) [RH = 8%]

here's some 2-day CoCoRAHS snow reports from WI/MI

A lot of severe storm and tornado warnings so far, with, no preliminary tornado reports

severe thunderstorm warning south of Chicago along I80

super heavy snow and ice

My place went from calm winds and cold yesterday, now to over 30mph wind gusts, warm front, mid 60's

Somebody already has 21" and there's a severe thunderstorm warning next to some 30 degree temperatures

The storm is getting going with moderate snow in SD, MN, ND. It seems like snow-virga is in Wisconsin and Michigan. This view gives the warnings that are most current, so not all the blizzard warnings show up.

This is perhaps a once-in-a-generation amount of blizzard warnings for March, in terms of area (not in Rockies)

sunset from 3/12
