1.11" of rain the past couple days. Now mid 40's with mostly cloudy skies on cool W/NW wind. Looks like dry weather, and 50's with E/NE winds starting Wed. That's pretty seasonable here along the shore for early May.

Gray, wet day. Wind has slacked off considerably. Had an inch of rain so far. Looks like temps on the increase this week. Should be pretty average by the end of the week, even a little above with 50's, and even some 60's away from the Big Lake. Getting better. My Mother's Day forecast in the Holiday thread looks to be on track. Rain/stms on tap.

Windy, rainy day today. And it looks like Illinois is under the gun this afternoon with a tornado watch.

Cool pics, sad wx. Even tho Old Man Winter has one helluva attitude this year, his days are numbered. Still not as bad 2013. That was a crazy April, especially here. Interesting how warm last year was with records, now the tables have turned the other way.

30's all week here with a balmy mid 40's and rain for the weekend. Snow showers yesterday, and again today.

Balmy 30-35F today. What month is it again? Avg highs are low 50's this time of the month, but reaching avg has been a chore this month, in general. The last couple days of precip netted 0.63". Just came in spurts, very scattered. Guess this anomaly map tells the story, especially back my way.

Windy day ( ENE up to 30-35 mph) with scattered rain showers. Looks like bouts of showers with poss thunder tonight into tomorrow. At least it's not snowing this time.

More snow in the Northland today, but should stay more to my north. Cook county building a glacier up there. LOL But milder wx with rain/thunder to end the week. Big runoff coming for the weekend with 1", possibly up to 2" of rain. Gooseberry Falls should be an awesome site again by Sunday. Also have the Lakes water levels. Superior running average with the rest above average. After seeing years of low levels, the last decade has been much higher, even record levels in some cases. Ships can run a little more cargo with the higher water. Saves on cost. https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Information-2/Water-Level-Data/

Yeah, bad timing for sure. Just updated my sig with totals. TH is running 30" above normal for snow this year. Been a good year for skiers, snowmobilers, etc. Saw my first robin yesterday in the snow. It flew into my porch, and was making a ruckus trying to get out. It couldn't figure out that the window wasn't going to let it through, at least for a few minutes. It finally figured it out, and flew out the door. LOL

Sounds like my April 2013 when we got 50".

5" here in town, with a general 3-7" around the area. Pretty decent snow for mid-April.

And so it begins. Snow just starting here.

Very cold this morning. Near record/record low temps, with snow on tap for tonight. Happy Easter everyone. (at least to those that recognize the time as different faiths don't of course) TH - 20 (T3rd) Duluth - 21 (T7th) Hibbing - 14 (3rd) I-Falls - 11 (T1st) 2020 at this time was similar, but just slightly less cold. Still a lot of snow in the country, especially the forested areas, so that helped under the calm conditions.

Someone must have gifted him a pound of weed at X-mas, cause he sure has been a giddy, red-eyed, can't see straight kinda fella this year. Dude, do ya know what time it is? LOL Take a good long sleep man, geez!

Trying to keep up here with forecasts 2-3 months out. So for Father's Day/Juneteenth it looks like a front moving in bring showers, and storms with a boundary in the southern sub bringing some weather there too.

Pretty close call I'd say. I have the front moving in a little quicker, tho, on Easter Sunday.

Thanks man, its been rough ride this past year and a half. My mom, then my youngest boy, a good friend, and now my father-in-law. Reaper been close by as of late. But they aren't complaining now, as Paradise is chill time for them, and they wouldn't want to come back for anything.

JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS OHH, I forgot its almost Easter I think. Snowing out again today. 30 for a high tomorrow, maybe. Old man winter has been on steroids since X-mas. Snow Squall threat today, mainly just to my south.

Coating of snow on the grass this evening. Another crappy day on tap for tomorrow, then a chilly Easter weekend ahead. My father-in-law(ex) passed away on Sunday. His funeral is Saturday. Good man. Very close to my second oldest son. Hard days for the family this week, with a bummer of an Easter weekend.

Winds have settled down, and the rain has turned over to snow. Just a cold, gray, miserable day. Homemade soup on the stove cooking right now. Good stuff for the wx I'm having today.

We had about 0.4" of rain here in town (0.46" at Arpt), and the winds have picked back up a bit after the strong gale yesterday into the night subsided. There running up to 35-40 mph off the Lake today. 50 mph gusts easy yesterday. With the rain, and melting snow, Gooseberry Falls is roaring right now. All the rivers running strong today. The trout and smelt runs should get going strong here soon.

Winds howlin off the Lake up to 45-50 mph. Been having rain all afternoon into the evening. Heavy rain looks to be on its way, but most of it may end up in WI. Update: winds still howlin, and garbage cans a flyin LOL

About 2-3" of snow yesterday around the area with the Ashland/Bayfield WI area receiving 6-10" or a little more. Was still snowing at report times for this area this morning. Looks like more rn/sn mix heading into next week.

Here's the modeled SWE. Quite a bit like you said. Even my way. Looks like 2019, and especially 2013, and 2014 were the last time we have seen SWE like this at this date.

Yeah, that's about the same depth at the 7NW site here. Lots of water ready to soak in the ground, and run off. Edit: 7NW just updated, they are at 30" depth now after the snow yesterday. They got 8".
