2.31" per the airport unit for this weekend's system. Based on the small pond IMBY yesterday, I would not be surprised if I had a bit more here. Glad last night didn't materialize as was expected.

The 1.3” of rain on Saturday put a massive dent in the lake ice. About 80% of the lake is open water as of this morning. I’d expect the ice to be totally gone tomorrow. That would be exactly one month earlier than last year. First kayakers paddling by as I type this.

 

Seeing clear water, wildlife returning, and people exploring nature breathes life into my soul during these trying times.

The month of March here at Grand Rapids will end up being warmer and wetter than average with less than average snow fall. The high for the month will be 63 (that is in the middle of the pack) and the low for the month will be 17 that will be tied with several other years for the 7th warmest minimum for the month of March. Will have more on this tomorrow. At this time it is 39 here with cloudy skies.

In contrast to everything else going on, March weather was pretty quiet here. Near normal precip at 2.68" and a bit warm at +4.4F avg temp. No measurable snow was recorded. We only have had 67% of normal snowfall this winter (11.7"/17.5"). Yuck.

23-24 seasonal snow total: 17.8" (as of 3/9/24)
