Geos Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Looks like it was up to 40° today, but no sun that I saw. Until a pure rain system comes in or a torch - the snow is not going to leave quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 gfs smokes nw wi. ratios shouldn't suck either unless maybe the wind breaks flakes up? 10-18" should be common in wi and up if the gfs has a clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm on my phone so I can't see the poll, but I think my guess is looking good.. no way does this snow melt before May 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Meanwhile, Marquette has been 33-34 with rain over the past 24 hours. A very marginal event...but Twin Lakes has enough elevation and is far enough west to squeak through with significant snow for this event. Even with over a half-inch of rain yesterday, Marquette's snow depth stayed at 32" this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 This is getting beyond insane. That would be amazing for January or February, but April??? WTF?Cold, windy and snowing at a good clip here but just a nuisance type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Just imagine those favored spots in the woods. Its feasible that there could be patch of snow that might last into late July or August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Just imagine those favored spots in the woods. Its feasible that there could be patch of snow that might last into late July or August. That sounds a bit iffy but you never know. Its absolutely ridiculous that its now LATE April and it looks like that. Even though some of it was plowed up the depth is probably easily 3-4 feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 drifting like crazy on the cam.. a snow weenies slant sticking and contaminated pictures dream. wait until the snow blower tacks on 3 more feet. I've never seen so much drifting on that cam and I've been looking for at least 7 yrs. Normally winds out of the n/westerly direction all winter.. opposite this march and april with tons of system snows and n/easterly winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Just imagine those favored spots in the woods. Its feasible that there could be patch of snow that might last into late July or August. Won't happen. At least not unless snow is stuffed into a deep cave or saved in he freezer. Even at Paradise Mt. Rainier you need a 200" base at 35% density for any snow to last into August. That's with average highs ranging from the mid 40s to the mid 60s through May, June, and July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
