March 2019 Observations and Discussion

[Minny_Weather]

This is US-34 just past the bridge in Western Iowa. This ain't re-opening for a while. Apparently the 29 isn't looking much better than this.

The weather station I have has a website and an app that I can use to look up my weather station's data from anywhere. Love that feature!

I was looking back at this month so far and it's pretty crazy to see the flip we've seen(pretty normal in March of course).

March 2-4th had highs of 15, 7, and 15 and overnight lows were below zero.

Since the 8th of March, every single day has been above freezing for highs, and since the 13th(last 16 days) we've had every day above 50 except for 4 days and those 4 days were at least 44 degrees. Normal this time of year is now in the 50s, so it's been nothing to extreme, but it's all relative to where we started the first few days of March.

Well said.

Lots of rain today. Temps in the chilly 30s. Some snow tanite w possible minor accumulations of 1-2inches. It will be gone the next day.

On this last morning of March, it is COLD!  Temps have dipped down into the low 20's area wide (23F, WC 13F) but the silver lining is that we will have abundant sunshine today.

I am going to finish March with below avg precip, only 1.84".

My season snowfall will finish at 49.9".

[St Paul Storm]

Been snowing on and off for the last few hours. Enough to coat the ground. Sigh. I can’t wait for May.

would have been an above normal month if it weren't for the nonsense cold the first week.

 

You mean "Marchuary"??
