It's been a fabulous spring so far here in Michigan. Up and down, but many good days and March was well AN. Does look cold for mid-April, but stormy so probably more ups and downs instead of mostly sustained cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only took 4 months to get to this point; if anything hopefully we can at least have one more big dog and an active severe weather season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm83 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Even though it's still far out it's definitely something to keep an eye on since it's Easter weekend.

Tom Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 The near record +AO winter we have endured certainly has made its mark in the Arctic regions this cold season. This has to be some of the thickest ice in some decades for parts of the coastal regions of the Archipelago and Greenland. This map is showing pockets of 12-15 meters thick ice! While the overall ice volume is low (due to warmer PAC/ATL oceans), I'm glad to see the ice has not disappeared http://polarportal.dk/fileadmin/polarportal/sea/CICE_combine_thick_SM_DK_20200406.png 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After tomorrow it looks to be on the cold side for the rest of this April. Not the way I like it I hope it is not too cold as I would like to get out and do my walk every day.

St Paul Storm Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 ^ not cool Tom. Did you see Ryan Maue’s tweet yesterday about the major global models and their recent forecast scores? Euro still the king, but ICON doing well too. Still a long ways to go so I’m not getting anxious yet.
