CentralNebWeather 4715 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Its a tough habit to break. Seems very noble to me, but what can ya do.I coach high school football and 7th grade basketball. Kind of built in to high five, shake hands, slap on the back etc. to encourage athletes. It is going to be very difficult to change. Won’t know until sports starts up again to know how it will look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Today looks real nice up here.@StPaulStorm how ya feeling? Weren't you a bit sick recently?Good call on delaying the trip until yesterday. Friday was a little messy for sure. Nice day here today. Should top out in the upper 50s. The sun feels so good. Speaking of feeling good, I’m back to 100% health. Thanks for asking! Not sure what I had, but I don’t wish it on anyone. Enjoy the rest of the weekend up here! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye 4600 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 It looks pretty awful later this week into early next week. The Euro has us struggling to get out of the 30s Sunday and Monday. With lows possibly in the low to mid 20s, I'll have to cover some budding plants.

westMJim 1863 Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 It now sunny and 37 here. I have to wonder just how cold it is going to get after this week. Looks like a cold Easter weekend. So that means we could be stuck inside the house and not even want to go outside and work in the yard. I have to say I am getting tired or Netflix already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mlgamer 516 Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Topeka office AFD from this morning is interesting...they usually don't talk about such things this far out...probably just needed a distraction from all of the turmoil... The ECMWF shows vertical profiles cold enough for a potential snow storm across the CWA Monday into Tuesday. The track of the 850mb low would be very favorable for heavy snowfall. This solution will probably change over the next several model runs, so it not a sure bet that we could see our biggest snow storm of the season on April 14th. In any case it looks as if it will be turning much colder into mid April.

Tom 16887 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 post Share on other sites
