BeastFromTheEast Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Looks like some snow shower activity north of Green Bay. ...Actually it Looks like Virga falling east of Racine MKE has flurries in their point and click.. Friend reported a nice but brief light snow shower in downtown as well a little while ago. Late Afternoon: A slight chance of flurries. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 39. Northwest wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Damn you nailed it turtle great call!!!! Lapse rates Monday and Tuesday could cause flurries across Wisconsin.

Hoosier Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Funny thing about today is that although it's 50 here, it's one of those days where if it started precipitating it could go to snow very quickly. Warm layer is shallow...wbz is around 1500 feet and freezing levels aren't very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 DTW did register a trace for the day for snowfall, I have had some rain/snow mix and some rain/ice pellets mix already today here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It struggled to get above 40° today. Made it to 41.0° and not a tenth of a degree higher! Clouds are slowly breaking up. The indoor humidity was really low like it is in the winter on a sub zero day! I kept on getting shocked by metallic objects, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Saw some sleet/rain mixture early this afternoon. Twas nice to see ANY type of precipitation. Last 40 days have been bone dry around these parts (<1.00" total). Massive facepalm @ the twits at work commenting about how they can't understand why it's cold and that they thought summer had started because of the 80s we saw in the middle of March. I hope it's cloudy, breezy and in the 60s from now until October purely out of spite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Snowflakes filled the air off and on pretty much all day today throughout SE MI, despite temps hovering in that upper 30s to low 40s range. Always funny how it will be 33 and rain mid-winter, but has no problem snowing at 40 in spring . This was the first snow reported at DTW in a month (March 9th had 0.1", and this was the last snowflakes of the season until today). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 With the min temp of 26º this morning, 14º below the normal of 40º...question is can LAF have its first double digit below normal departure day since February 11th?

daddylonglegs Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Check out this tasty little nugget from LaCrosse: BEYOND THIS TIME PERIOD...THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW LITTLE RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY. AS A RESULT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE REMAINS VERY LOW. FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT THE LAST COUPLE RUNS OF THE GFS IS INDICATING A POTENTIAL SNOW STORM FOR TUESDAY. 1910 /WHICH HAD A A VERY SIMILAR MARCH TO THIS YEAR AND IT WAS ALSO ANOTHER LA NINA SPRING/ ALSO HAD A SNOW STORM FROM APRIL 16-18 AND ADDITIONAL SNOW FROM APRIL 23-25. THE ECMWF WAS SIMILAR WITH ITS 10.12Z RUNS...BUT SINCE HAS BACKED AWAY FROM THAT SOLUTION. JUST SOMETHING TO WATCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 AFDs like that crack me up. In one paragraph they belch out and complain about little model consistency and lack of run to run continuity then the forecaster goes off on a solution like a snowstorm. It wouldn't be a normal April unless a few of us get an accumulating snowfall that melts by noon. Last year was no exception either. 2010 was a snowless weird April. I don't even think DTW logged a Trace that month. Anyways someone is gonna get crushed before the spring warmth really starts winning out by months end.

michsnowfreak Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Light snow reported with visib as low as 5 miles at DTW overnight, so a T on both Apr 10 and 11th. It looks like a few places in SE MI picked up measurable snow, 0.2" at White Lake, reports of 0.1", 0,2", and 0.4" in Ann Arbor, and 0.1" in Tipton.

michsnowfreak Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I got 3" that day. So that 0-0.5" area was off. I dont care snow or rain is fine with me as long as it does something soon! 1.3" imby and 1.6" at DTW on April 18, 2011, but up to 3" north of Detroit. What I remember is really hoping to get 1.9"+ so I would hit 70" to cap off a spectacular season, and only got the 1.3" to finish at 69.4". Oh, to have that "problem" again!
