Yeah.. getting that feel of some left turn signal winter storms this winter. 

Just another gorgeous evening.  Our best climo is the shining bright spot of 2020.

Just the way it is, MKE and Chi-Town own the Best Climo's in the Midwest. What a day. What a Summer..  What a climo.

Herman Cain's death was completely avoidable, especially at his age and previous medical issues. It is just ignorance to put yourself in jeopardy like that.

Life is unfair.. there’s people who wore their mask and only left the house when necessary and still caught the virus.. some didn’t have access to a hospital the way that Herman did despite the fact he didn’t wear a mask and attended a unnecessary event. 

GOP will continue to downplay the coronavirus even after Herman's death

You’re a dick

This is why they advise people to avoid going to large gatherings, practice social distancing and wear a mask.

Herman decided to do neither of those things.

sacrificed his life for 45 and all he got to show for it was a half assed tweet.

Best Climo day.

Week before the 4th was so stupid.. easterly winds on end  and we still baked. Westerly wind  is the best for fishing this side off the pond.   Always nice to get a string of westerly winds to mix it up and flush the warm surface temps out. Won't be long and  winter weenie thoughts will soon turn to getting some crisp early fall air in to start the cool down process of the lake.   Let's freeze that pond over this winter -  after we score 60" of snow before, Jan 10th 2021.

KMKE  with the  * 90.    AWT. no denying that trash obs site

Its been nice to have a good  ole fashion summer again..  Pretty meh heat but consistent of late.. sad thought. 3 months from now we'll be starting to lose leaves off a few tree's, and Snow chances will be increasing to the north. 

87/77 at KMKE.  Gonna be tough to deny a high of 90.

Perked up right before the lake with a very solid garden variety storm.  Tons of heavy rain and lightning, about 40mph gusts.

Cool and unexpected little event.  Gust were dam close to 50 it seemed.   She got a little hairy when it moved through. Power outages were dancing through my head. 

KMWC @ 54mph gust

KMKE @ 47mph 

one rain shower and enough wind to bend the tomato plants slightly.   victory so far.

Not for a decent period of time like this in June (usually only briefly with severe storms).

ghd 1 takes top spot in my storm experiences. I'm due for a biggie.

Don't reckon ever witnessing some of the winds being outputed for SE, WI.    2020 baby.

If ever there was a time to put up a cheddar curtain wall now is the time.  We have enough of our own incompetence in this state to deal with.  This blows.  Stay safe my friends.

0.26" at MKE thus far.

Nice, thanks..  The way the wind was howling I bet they even did a little better than that with qpf.  I don't trust in windy events the accuracy of their QPF numbers.  I didn't want to go too weenie on my 0.25" estimate but I'd bet my last brisket in the freezer that it rained all of a 0.25" the first 3 hrs IMBY..  Good luck estimating what QPF has fallen as snow now for 3 hrs.  I haven't looked at the radar at all so who knows maybe my back yard was in a better spot  or vice versa than MKE.  Shrugs

Another hr straight of mood snow.  Its been feeling like it wants to shut off but its still putting out.

Even with that length of period, I take it no accums?

Nope not even close to any sticking.  The snow intensity has been mostly plenty worthy of accumulation though if it wasn't noon on May, 10th. 

Have to think this could have been a WWA  type event with some good blowing snow.  QPF hasn't been lacking. Thinking if I had a rain gauge we'd be over  0.25"   Going on 6 hrs now of precip.

It was gorgeous out before the rain hit this AM.

Up to over 2 hrs straight of snow and still flying.  Wild

Finally injected the air needed to rid us of miserable rain and flip to snow.

Sadly no snow  accumulation here just 3 hrs of 30+ mph gust and 30's rain here so far.

when did the Indiana 14-day-decrease happen to qualify for Stage 1?

stage 6: repeat.

Detroit has been thru so much, freaking adorable,

precip hasn't been a problem of late in winter.  Its the timing thats been all ****ed up for yrs to get what we all come here for, snow

We share winter through, MSF scrap winter storms now. Where do we go from here? That magnet and crap  winter climo is sure to run out.  Helter Skelter winters? I'd love to  MAGA believe  our climo isn't changing beneath our eyes. Hah.  Them  1970's winters made me in to the snow weenie I am.   Them days have sailed.

****ing croakers in the background all night.    Whoever thinks rain in april over snow is better needs a brain exam  living in my climo. Climo rules in the end.   Freeze your balls off, croakers.

Days like today are even hard to come buy in off winter months.  Go figure we finally get one now.  I'm stoked  for the upcoming wx though.   Climo is climo and we bbq  tons this friday through sunday now.
