Maintaining any kind of snowpack this winter has been nearly impossible. My longest snowcover this winter was 5 days. The 1.7” that fell yesterday is all but nuked from the late February sun.
I’m ready for longer days, more sun, warmer weather, boomers, and grilling. Just 10 more days and the days get longer. Hallelujah!
That being said, looks like I’m going to string together some 50’s to open the month. Bring it on!
Just went for a cruise in rural Champaign. The N-S are roads are becoming drifted with blowing snow very quickly. Winds gusting over 30MPH as the arctic air moves in.
Had a period of slop, but temps have warmed to 35 degrees and all rain here. Warming to about 40 degrees, probably wiping out the “snowpack” we had. We’ve struggled keeping any snow on the ground this winter.
Yeah no snow cover virtually all winter has allowed us to warm up substantially. Yesterday forecasted high was 5 degrees warmer than forecasted. It felt so nice, and really gave me the spring itch.
