  1. A random pop up thunderstorm just skirted my area yesterday. We had full sunshine with a quick heavy downpour. 1/8 of a mile away it was dry. The rainbow was spectacular though. Less than 0.1" of rain though so it won't do much given the current heat.
  2. https://www.mlive.com/weather/2024/06/why-was-there-no-warning-with-deadly-michigan-tornado.html
  3. GRR mentioned the possibility of frost in the norther sections of the forecast area. I have to think Gaylord and some of the surrounding areas are in line for a frost or two this week.
  4. Pretty good soaker and a great light show going in here over lunch. A little better than I expected. GRR mentioned weaking as they came on shore and moved east so I wasn't expecting too much.
  5. Had a low of 39 today and 37 yesterday. Lake Michigan is helping out for sure.
  6. Blooms started on the breadford pear trees this weekend in my back yard. Lots of green buds starting to show up on trees. It won't be long before fruit growers will be sweating every forecast for frost.
  7. 5° drop at my house across the lake from Madison.
  8. Sounds like an interesting next 24+ hours in the UP.
  9. My brother was in college right outside of Xenia and the clinic on campus had their roof torn off. Many students went into Xenia the following day to help clean up and it was every bit as bad as the pictures and description you hear about.
  10. Looking like 3"-5" overnight and tomorrow. High end totals could push us out of even a top 20 least snowy winter. Crazy a winter this bad can look a little better than it seems when comparing to past duds. It is hard to imagine a winter with less snow than this but the historical record would say about 1 in every 6 has been this bad or worse.
  11. The great plains are on whole different level when it comes to wind.
  12. On and off snow today that has dusted the ground a couple of times but melts as soon as it stops.
  13. There is a subforum for this - https://www.americanwx.com/bb/forum/18-climate-change/ If every post you made wasn't 100% related to this subforum I wouldn't be complaining, but since that is all you do, take it over there will you.
  14. Mlive ran an interesting article recently. GRR had 15 days below normal for the entirety of met winter, MKG only had 12.
  15. That is crazy you have been there. Not a lot of people can say they intentionally went to the Woodsfield area. I grew up just to the west of Monroe County in Noble County. That is indeed a beautiful part of Ohio and nothing like the area North of I-70 and West of I-71 which is what most people think of when they think of Ohio.
  16. Michigan had a confirmed 2 tornadoes, one near Marshall the other near Grand Blanc.
  17. With all the severe weather talk, we just had a Winter Weather Advisory hoisted for late tonight into tomorrow. Talk about weather whiplash.
  18. Everyone is saying this, bu tliving in West Michigan this would most likely be an agricultural disaster like the Morch everyone keeps rooting for. Early blooms followed by a frost are very rough on this area so while I appreciate everyone's desire for warmth, please no.
  19. And with 5.5" reported at GRR yesterday the bottom 10 futility record is now in the rear view mirror. We are not sitting at #11 on the list going back to around 1900 or so.
  20. We don't have MSP's totals, but it was definitely puking fatties on the way in to work this morning. Easily 1-2"+ diameter snowflakes. Too bad there was a little mixed precip thrown in.
