March 2022 Observations and Discussions

Snowstorm on the way! How much and where is the big question. On a local news station I'm in the 4-8" zone, but a quick glance at the Euro (if closer to accuracy) suggests northeastern Kentucky gets a 2-4" storm and amounts 5-8" towards Hazard. Southeast KY has generally been getting more snow than this neck of the woods so it wouldn't surprise me if that happens.

I just hope some rain chances can pop up at least. I think I’ll have a stroke at age 22 if there’s another winter “threat”. Should be back in the 60s by Sunday ☀️

Looks like I am going to register 6 or 7 of the first 12 days of March with below 0f lows.  Saturday am looks like the last likely below 0 low for this cold season.  Of course I have had a few years with below 0f days in April as well.   

whats your snow cover?? Heard from some buddies that LOTW has 3' of ice in many spots (16" extensions  on augers) -- but that's not unheard of. I remember March of 1996 when I had to stand on the end gate of my truck to drill holes on LOTW ( the  auger + motor head stood that tall) .

Yeah 3' of ice is nothing on LOW this late in the year, the only reason its not close to 5'+ is because of the thick snowcover insulating the ice.  

My snow on the ground is still close to 18" I'd guess and that's with no significant snow for 2 weeks.

The snowpack here is really taking a beating from the sun angle. Even with highs in the teens and 20s, there's still pretty decent puddle action every day. Should be reduced to piles a day or two into next week's warmup. 25*F.

A cold spell or two is inevitable in late March going into April, but from a constant perspective, winter appears it'll be over here this weekend.

Here at my house just 0.5" of snow fell overnight. And there is now a half inch of snow on the ground here. The overnight low here at my house was 19 and at this time it is 20. There looks to be a quick cold snap then a rather big warm up next week with highs only near 20 tomorrow but there is a chance of highs around 60 by Thursday.

Weather people here must be bored.  
They’re running around like Chicken Little about a Winter Storm.  
Not going to happen.  A snooze-fest.

Frankly, I'm not sure what to expect in terms of the Long Term pattern for the remainder of this Spring, but the unexpected late season Sudden Stratospheric Warming event likely to take place and will impact our weather pattern.  It's not a question of "if", but now a question of "when" this will occur.  On the topic of "when", take a wild guess....literally, on the day we welcome the Spring Solstice (3/20), the 0z Euro is showing a categorical PV Split at all layers of the Polar Strat.  What does all of this suggest?  IMHO, I don't see a nice spring-like pattern shaping up for the later parts of this month into APR around the GL's/MW region.  The Plains stand a better chance of seeing nicer wx along with a very volatile wx pattern as storms will continue to plow the PAC NW/Rockies.

Before then, however, next week looks amazing as teleconnections support a very warm pattern...this will be welcomed by many I'm sure.

The AO and NAO are going negative around the 20th.  Late March may really cold and snowy for the Lakes area and maybe for those further west.

That bowling ball showing up for the Spring Solstice period is going to be a fun system to track.

😂

They blew a good deal of their forecast. Not a drop or flake.  
Extremely windy today and cold. 
We’ll drop to 26* tonight.

Most likely our last really cold night.  Mid 50’s tomorrow and moving up to mid 70’s by Monday.  

Hang in there. Spring is on the way. You’ll be forecasting severe weather in no time.

Just rain here on the SW side. You get any of the white stuff?

Sorry for the late response amigo. Been so busy lately.

Actually I don't even remember if I did received any snow during the last couple of days .I probably did not... I think.

The Sudden Strat Warming (final of the season) is going to take place alongside some late season blocking suggest that Winter isn't over yet for the northern members this month and likely into April.  Something peculiar is going on in the atmosphere that gives me pause to jump on the idea for real Spring-like wx (excluding the Plains peeps) after what will be a nice reprieve next week from the long and deep cold season this year for you guys.  The 0z EPS is trending colder post 21st/22nd for our Spring Solstice storm system and once that blocking locks into place, look out for more snow to fall...yup, the season that keeps on giving and I would not be surprised to see the GL's and parts of the MW to earn more #statpadding snowfall.

The high here yesterday was 31 and the overnight low here at my house so far has been 12 the official overnight low at GRR looks to be 14. At this time it is still 12 here and 14 at GRR. There was 0.1" of snow fall here last night is a quick snow shower. There is still snow from snow that fell overnight on Thursday in the shade but that snow is all gone in the areas that had sun yesterday.

It was -2°F when I woke up this morning. This will be the last subzero of this season, good riddance.

How much snow do you have OTG?  I haven’t checked any maps so just curious to hear before I do look at the snow maps.

Someone's local report shows 5.7" inches. 

That's the best storm all winter in Ashland.

Man last night was cold and windy. I'm over that. Today will be better but still chilly. Then boom...spring. Just in time as we turn the clocks ahead.

Hard freeze tonight but hopefully the wind dies down before it.

Today looks like it will end up as one of the coldest of any March 12th in West Michigan. The current record coldest maximus at Grand Rapids, Holland is 18 at Lansing, Muskegon 19 and Kalamazoo 20. The highs so far today are Grand Rapids 18, Lansing 19, Muskegon 17 Holland 17. The current readings are Grand Rapids, Holland and Muskegon 19 and Lansing 19. We will have to see how the readings are by 12 midnight.

For anyone looking for spring conditions like myself, today's wx is total BS. Paying for the useless warmth in December. 

On yesterday's snowstorm. You have to give high marks to this winter's pattern consistency. Been like a broken record.
