daddylonglegs Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 So with that much snow on the ground...the local streams/rivers must turn into raging rivers when the warmth does show up??? I'd love to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Patiently waiting for spring to begin. 34 now, with the same slate-grey clouds we have been seeing most of this month. (Seriously, where is the sun?) No rain or snow in the forecast today, but, that's not so for tomorrow into Monday. Long range shows iffy temps through the end of the month.

weatherbo Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 So with that much snow on the ground...the local streams/rivers must turn into raging rivers when the warmth does show up??? I'd love to see that. .....with the snowmelt last week and the 1"+ of rain we had, the streams and rivers have a good flow already. I have a feeling the melt will be so gradual it wont be too bad. Also, LM is up too. Looks like a fairly snowy week ahead for March standards anyway. Will be interesting to see if we can build on the snow depth before Spring finally kicks in.

wisconsinwx Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 A balmy -6F at Grand Forks as of the 10am observation. You think it's cold here in the GLOV region? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I guess i was thinking those spots that have 50 inches on the ground...but yeah...if the melt is slow (which looks to be the case for now), then hopefully a little each week can drain away. Plus..your not trying to push huge area of snow into a river valley, like around here. The worst area is up in North Dakota...some friends of ours live in Fargo and while looking at houses (which according to them are hugely overpriced) the realtor just rolled her eyes when they mentioned flooding (basically hinting that it will never get that bad again/as it did just a few years ago)... the whole area is roughly the same elevation, the river flows NORTH into Canada and the ground i believe is hard clay. They want out, but they both have very good jobs...so who knows..maybe they'll just float away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 52 was reporting on the ground the other day here.... Now this week on tap. 5-10 inches by tomorrow evening ALONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 It would be fun, but it would also get old. I couldn't imagine having to plow almost every day...finding ever new spots to put the snow would be annoying too. I guess you appreciate summer/fall a lot more. My brother and his buddy think they are pulling the boat up to Internation Falls and fishing the Rainy River in 2 weeks. I laughed. I told him to bring ice fishing poles.

Hoosier Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Wednesday looks pretty darn cold for this time of year. It's possible that a midnight high could screw things up but I suspect daytime temps will have trouble getting out of the 20s around here which is pretty impressive.

The negative departures this month don't quite equal the positive departures of last March, but still pretty darn impressive, especially in comparison to each other. For example, last year on the 20th, FWA hit 84. If this year is 28, that's a 56 degree difference in high temps for the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Tried hiking today...no go. Trail is glare ice with a thin layer of light snow on top. I made it about 100ft up the trail and turned around. I wasn't dressed for it either and it is not warm out...with a cold breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Impressive how the snow stuck around today. Thought that it would burn off as soon as the radiant heat was involved. As for peoples ideas of this SNarch not that impressed. Walking into most of my clients officed today not many smiling faces. Most were disgusted with the weather, as I reminded them that Spring might be almost here but snow is fair game until April 15th or so. Look on the bright side your lot is snow free and salted.... Off to resalt for the temps are expected to plumit this evening and any melted snow will become rock ice by the middle of the night. From EC..... Tonight Light snow ending early this evening then mainly cloudy. 30 percent chance of flurries overnight. Wind northeast 20 km/h becoming light early this evening. Low minus 5. Sunday Cloudy. 30 percent chance of flurries early in the morning. High zero. UV index 3 or moderate. Sunday night Partly cloudy. 40 percent chance of snow before morning. Wind becoming east 30 km/h after midnight. Low minus 3 with temperature rising to zero by morning. Monday Periods of snow or rain. High plus 5. Tuesday Flurries. Windy. Low minus 2. High minus 2. Wednesday Cloudy with 40 percent chance of flurries. Low minus 7. High minus 2. Thursday Cloudy with 60 percent chance of flurries. Low minus 6. High plus 1. Friday Cloudy with 60 percent chance of flurries. Low minus 6. High plus 1. Forecast looks great to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 18z NAM/RGEM looking kind of interesting for Monday. They've shifted that llj/theta-e ridge derived slug of moisture further north. Considering the time of year and lack of banana arctic high pressure, I'd have thought temps would be more marginal. However, even by mid afternoon Monday, NAM has sfc temps at YYZ in the upper 20s. Fast moving, but verbatim looks like a 1-3/2-4" quick thump.

It will be interesting to see what the means look like at the end of the month. I still shake my head when I look at last year's temps. The true definition of a torch. Thanks. Yeah, should be at least a 15 degree spread between last March and this one, if not possibly 20 if the cold next week performs as expected. What's even more impressive is that there should be a lot of sun. Won't be too shabby. I looked at record low max temps for March 20, and they're out of sight. 18º for IND in 1885. Nutso. 0z NAM tries to do something for us late late tomorrow overnight, but surface temps are...33º. Freezing height and wet bulb gets close enough via dynamic cooling, but...
