Tom Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 You can cherry pick days when the US has a lack of snow OTG and those that when it does have snow. Yesterday, 48.8% of the nation had been covered by snow (2/25 06 UTC). This map will update within a few hours...I understand this map is not necessarily a real accurate portrayal but it is only a "snapshot" of a day in time. I believe this map also takes into count a lot of the sleet/ice that fell in the S Plains/MW. I'm curious to see how much this changes for the updated map later this morning. The official 3.1" of snow that fell yesterday at ORD has brought the seasonal avg up to 28.6". That is about 2" shy of the seasonal avg to date and +3" for the month. Quite a reversal since early JAN and the lackluster start. Meantime, MDW (only a few miles to the SE) has had 18.1" of snow this month (+8" for the month) and about 38" (+6" of normal) for the season. The lake and storm tracks have benefitted the southern tier of the metro so far this season. We had full sun earlier in the day yesterday and with temps in the mid/upper 20's the high ratio snow was getting nuked pretty quickly. I already have spotty areas with grass showing up. I'm sure by end of today and most likely by tomorrow the snow cover will be history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 @Andie...does this confirm what transpired down by you? Aren't you on the north side of Dallas? I got a cousin that lives in the metro and will ask him if it was as bad as they say. https://www.fox4news.com/news/ice-forms-on-north-texas-roadways-people-urged-to-stay-home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the far SW corner of Tarrant Co where Ft Worth is. On the corner of 4 adjoining counties. Thurs was a surprise for the area East and North of us. Black ice roller rink stuff. Thank heaven that’s behind us. We don’t do ice so we’ll as our neighbors to the north! The rain missed us today too. We’d better get used to that. This drought will last. Have you heard any long range forecasts on that yet?

Beltrami Island Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Went for another snowmobile ride today. Gotta say I underestimated how much snow we have. 24-30" snow depth pretty much everywhere in my area. If it wasn't so flat around here I could probably post a pic and get away with tagging it as somewhere in a primary les belt. Funny thing is all the snow is bottomless powder, haven't had a thaw since mid December when it all started piling up. This caused going down untouched forest roads difficult, some spots I was going full throttle and struggling to keep momentum. First pic is a spot where I had to help my dad get unstuck. Pretty much had to do circles around him to give his tank of a sled some packed down snow to have a shot of getting turned around. Second pic is a picnic table covered in the seasons snowfall 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westMJim Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Even thought the official high at Grand Rapids was only 29 yesterday (I had a high of 33 here) the full late February sun sure did the trick on the snow that was on the ground. Areas that are in the shade are the only ones that now have a snow cover. Areas that were in the sun yesterday now have a lot of bare ground showing with just the snow piles still there. The overnight low here was 26 before midnight and it held steady around 28 all night. At this time it is partly cloudy here and 30. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are just a little over 20in right now for the season, 66/67 seems like it was a winter that sucked for NE and WI. Probably similar pattern too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well good sign with the following winter; that line shoots straight up! The silver lining, even though we have to wait a year, is there will be no way we get less than 10" next year. We have never had back to back winters with less than 10" in recorded history. Typically you see an average or above average after a winter we have experienced. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianJK Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Was hoping we’d over perform this week and already off to a good start. Sitting at 50 currently and should rise a few more.

OmahaSnowFan Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Made it to 69.6 today IMBY with a light breeze. The humidity is down to 14%. Should hit the 70s tomorrow and Wednesday too. It's supposed to cool down Thursday with a backdoor cool front to near 50, but based on today's GFS should warm right back up into the 60s and 70s Friday and Saturday. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm83 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Temperature ranges have been getting even crazier. I just noticed that LNK bottomed out at 8 yesterday morning and hit 59 by the afternoon. Almost identical today, except 10 degrees warmer. 18 in the morning and it's currently 69. Humidity has also bottomed out at 10%. I guess I don't really have any complaints that haven't already been dwelled on, but it's amazing how the situation continues and worsens. 3 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" 2021-22: 5.1" Average: 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
