Powerball Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Definitely mixed signals with the latest guidance as far as any true sustained winter-like weather settling in. It does get "cold" for a time relative to what we've seen in the past week, but even then we're still looking at normal / above normal temps and no major snowstorms.

IWXwx Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 One of my least favorite months. If we get snow, it's usually the heart attack variety and doesn't stick around. And quite honestly, I've usually had my fill of winter. The problem is, it's just a cool damp month (2012 being the exception). Not a good severe month for the area. If we're not going to get a big dog, I'd just as soon fast forward to mid April. Should I start a complaint thread specifically for the month of March? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually take my annual Caribbean trip at this time because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I like March. We've had some good historic svr storms here in the Midwest. Heard on radio while up in nw IN on Friday that naturalists at Dunes State Park were concerned for spring peepers with the return to colder weather. Going to be a roller coaster ride this month I think with more zonal flows punctuated by troughs.at times. The March 12, 2006 tornado outbreak with those twin supercells from MO to IL and IN is unforgettable in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be named the Month of Mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 still thinking around mid month is when it could get pretty torchy again. GFS/GEFS seems to be latching on to this idea as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The CFS has a general cool Northwest, warm Central/East look for March. I pay attention to the final run or two for the next month as it tends to do better than earlier runs. The first part of March won't be favorable for racking up big positive temperature anomalies in the means, so it would have to come later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 the first part of February wasn't necessarily that much above average in terms of temps and we're still gonna end up with +10 to +12 anomalies, lol. I do think March will end up with similar positive anomalies. Pattern looks very favorable for highly anomalous warmth in the long range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The roller coaster will be in full form this week as we enter an already normally volatile month. Wednesday we will see thunderstorms, and the rain will likely turn to a period of snow wed evening. Temps will plunge from the low 60s to mid 20s in about 10 hours. Then Thursday night accumulating snow potential is there with a clipper, a cold Friday and frigid Friday night will give way to 50s by Sunday. And Im sure the roller coaster is nowhere near finished after that. Wow what a wacky winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be then counting on a massive torch mid-late month which I have yet to see anything show massive torch. Will wait and see I guess.

Tropic Thunder Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I think Morch potential is high this year with the arctic dumping its wad in the north Pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 That little clipper tomorrow is putting out some pretty impressive looking convective snow near and just north of the surface low across northern IL on the 4km/3km NAM. Continues on through parts of Indiana and Ohio tomorrow night. Don't think it will add up to too much since the system is moving pretty quickly, but it could become rip city for isolated areas that get hit by those convective bands.

weatherbo Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Snowed most of the night. 4" with another 2-3 likely. Temp 19 and falling. Winter not quite over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_4184 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Bring on spring time to put this turdbag of a winter behind. Ready to camp, fish, etc anyway. Normally early spring around here is miserable with the snow melt, but since we have had so many torches I think conditions will improve sooner than usually.

TravisWx Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Recieved nearly 15" of snow in the past 7 hours. Still have about 7 more hours of heavy snow. The Presque Isle county sheriff's department closed down the two main highways for the remainder of the day and all government offices have been shut down. To think just yesterday we had about 2 inches of glacial snow left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 So things seem to be tilting in the direction of cold / dry (at least for a sizable chunk of the month). Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
