Members Pounce Posted February 9, 2011 Members Posted February 9, 2011 by the time I get there in March? As hard as your getting hammered, I'm starting to wonder. On the bright side, it's supposed to be a nice weekend:)
Stump bumper Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 by the time I get there in March? As hard as your getting hammered, I'm starting to wonder. On the bright side, it's supposed to be a nice weekend:) The old saying is March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb,judging by this year that would be a foot of snow and half a foot of ice.
skeeter Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Supposed to get up to another 8" in the Lake area today and the way it's coming down right now I believe it. However, temps in the mid 50's are forecast for the late weekend and a nice warmup for next week so that should melt it all......until the next one !
Hogfan Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Got around 16 inches and counting down here in my neck of the woods!
Quillback Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Ype getting pummeled here in Bella Vista, watching the weather last night, they were saying 3-5 inches, lol, more like 13-15!
Sam Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 It's snowing today, but that'll be gone next week. Highs in the 50's are predicted this weekend and after. We could get more snow by your trip in March, of course - there's no telling. Going by past years, chances are good that the ground will be snow-free and the weather OK for a March trip. If your trip does get messed up by weather, chances are that it'd be by rain, not snow. It seems like about one year out of three around here we get real heavy rains in March and April, getting the rivers and lakes up high and muddy. The Corps has let the lakes get real low now, which makes me wonder if they've done that expecting heavy spring rains.
rps Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 The snow melt will raise lake levels with very cold water, but not as high or as brown as if it were a hard rain. The key to your March trip is whether we get another one right before you arrive. While not impossible, that is improbable.
dtrs5kprs Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Have been snowed on in March more than once (or twice). Has always = wiggle wart bite for me.
skeeter Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Saw the "official" snowfall map NOAA Springfield has on their website for the Feb. 9th event. Don't know how they come up with these numbers but they show only 2 to 3 inches of snowfall in the Mid-Lake area. Using the old fashioned "Stick-a-ruler-in-it" method in several carefully chosen level areas of the property where I knew all the previous snow had melted to bare ground, we got 6.5 inches. No drifting occurred as there was very little wind. At 6:30 it's -3 degrees and very heavy fog off the lake has coated everything with freezing fog which should be spectacular when the Sun comes up.
Martin Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 We got 7 to 9 inches yesterday on the west side of Cow Creek...depending on where you check with the ruler. The Berryville, Ar. area got 9 to 10 inches....My friend that lives south of Eureka Springs got 17 inches.
