May spring weather arrived on the Lil Amnicon

Posted by: docmarkon, 9:20 PM GMT on May 13, 2012

We have made the annual transition from winter to spring here on the Lil Amnicon. 70° temperatures and sunshine are very nice to see. In recent few weeks we have gone into the spring temps; again so very nice.

Just last week for Wisconsin fishing opener we had cold, overcast days, with light rain and cold nights. Mpls has already been in full spring for a few weeks which is the expected 3 week difference in the spring entry.

The snow was moving along by hefty winds which caused a good amount of drifting. And it was not easy moving the wet snow laden with water. March came in like a lion this year!

The past few months have been dominated by warm weather for this time of the year and very little snow. In many areas we have too little snow for most winter sports unless in an area of artifical snow. This will change this week with snow last night, again on Tuesday night and Friday. March is our snow month but warmest as well. The temperatures have been much higher as well; very little sub-zero weather which is easy on the heating bills. Odd winter and may...

Bland winter - so far at least!

Posted by: docmarkon, 12:35 PM GMT on January 03, 2012

This winters entry has been quite mild! I suspect so far we have had one of the most mild winters on record. December was low on snow and high on temps. While it is not unheard of to have sub-zero temperatures around Christmas this year it was warm and just a little south of the Twin Ports little snow could be found. January 3 brings the first below zero weather for the year but we may be above freezing by the weekend. This leaves me feeling a bit sorry for al...

Omega weather pattern over the area.

Posted by: docmarkon, 11:20 AM GMT on September 08, 2011

We have had some great weather lately. Seems the jet stream has formed a big omega over the area and resulted in very nice weather with warm days, clear sky and cool nights. Finally we are starting to dry out after a rather wet summer.
