Powerball Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 14 minutes ago, michsnowfreak said: I wouldnt consider that the impressive feature of this season, Id call it the annoying one lol. It certainly did cut off. After 4 consecutive colder than avg months, March will finish (I estimate) 13th warmest on record as well as 12th least snowy. This winter didnt follow a typical Nina in most aspects, but one thing that did hold true is the fact it was front-mid loaded. February was mostly snow-covered so i dont look at it as harshly as some do wrt below avg snowfall. But Nov-Jan was definitely where the fun was this winter. From salt supplies running short before mid-winter and salt/plow contractors begging for a break, to those same contractors wishing we had a few more runs by mid-March. Above avg snowfall seemed like a lock in January but then Feb-Mar was zzz. I am at 40.1" with DTW 39.4". Longterm avg is around 41" but the current 30-yr avg, high as its ever been due to the snowy 2000s/10s, is 45". While its certainly in the vicinity of an "average" snowfall season, theres no question that cold/snowcover exceeded expectations and snowfall fell short. Knowing how I love snowcover, it should come as no surprise the winter was an easy A but have to knock it to B for the zzzzz mid Feb thru Mar. April is very unpredictable so you never know. April can be unpredictable, but with the persistent +NAO / +AO / -PNA, increasing sun angle and the SW getting such an early start to summer due to abnormally dry conditions (positive feedback loop), I wouldn't hold my breath for any wintry surprises this year...

Torchageddon Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago My station showing I got to 20C/70F for the first time this year, WUN has 19C. UW got to their first 20C - I was a few weeks off from predicting it! Sun is out, summer feel after a nightmare 2nd half of March. My forecast high for today was 15C yesterday, 16C this morning. I was hankering for a 20 today; we were given a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
