stormtrackertf Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Decent downpour right now. Thunderstorm-esque, though I don't see any strikes showing up on radar with this particular cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Decent downpour right now. Thunderstorm-esque, though I don't see any strikes showing up on radar with this particular cell. You had the line I had earlier move through, summer like rain.

IllinoisWedges Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 "Prepare to light the torch" is right. High today was 65° here and had a pretty hefty storm/shower come through as the front came through. 10/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Went to a friend's house to watch a couple episodes of The Walking Dead. Went in to rain and 40s...came out to blustery snow showers with at least a half inch of wet snow covering everything. Nice surprise, and still snowing off and on!

beavis1729 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Wow Bo - that is awesome. Usually, still photos don't do the snow justice...but in that last pic, you can just tell it's ripping like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Temps are very quickly on the rise this morning. Was 47 at 11am, and already up to 54 as we approach noon. Looks like temps will overachieve again today, and should make it into the low 60s before the front hits by 3pm. Just like yesterday we should see a good 20 degree drop in about 3hrs between 3 and 6pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like yesterday we should see a good 20 degree drop in about 3hrs between 3 and 6pm. Gave it a good run, but temp stalled at 58, and has since dropped back to 54. Only 25 miles southwest at MLI they're up to 64, so quite the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I just got a super winter blast at 3:12 pm when nearly out of the blue a wave of sizable graupel with 55 mph winds roared through! It was making all sorts of noise on the windows. Lasted a minute and then some minor bursts came in for the next hour. It created a trace or more in 1 min. The lowest level winds were insane, just screaming; the high pitched noise and creaking occurred more times than in any other time I can recall. This is like the 3rd time this winter a huge blast comes in and lasts for a few minutes. It will be remembered as the winter of short intense crushings. As suspected, this was a frontal snow squall band (the wall) that shows up very well on radar. Its always the wall . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Fun to watch this lake enhanced front moving in. Looking at some PWS', you have spreads of several degrees just blocks apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 48 on Saturday and -2 now is creating some freaky sounds with the snowpack on the roof. I might camp under the bed tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Will finish Feb with 0.25" of precip measured in the weather station's gauge. I'm sure there was at least a few tenths more than that from snow that blew out, etc. Probably more like 0.40-0.50" in actuality. DVN to the west will finish with 0.38". So overall a fairly dry month in this area. Snowfall total for Feb was 3.0". Highest temp (yesterday) was 63, and lowest was 1 above on the 13th. Highest weather station gust was 54mph on the 19th, but guessing we had gusts over 60mph that day at regulation anemometer height. Other than the very impressive gradient wind event on the 19th this will be a very forgettable month to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 February ended up being +1.4°. Those two 60° days really pushed it up. 7.0" of snow this month with only 0.57" of rain; mostly on the 2nd. 1.16" of moisture total. This February was the least snowiest since 2006, when 6.9" fell. The winter overall was +3.66°. January ended up being the coldest at -0.13°. December was +9.68°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
