Kind of an odd juxtaposition on the NWS warnings and watches map right now. Flood Watches one side of Lake Michigan and Red Flag Warnings on the other

Uhh I'm good with not having 7 inches of snow.

Right now it is just absolutely puking snow. I probably have a half inch or an inch on grassy area right now. These are probably some of the heavier pure snowfall rates I've seen all year and that is saying something.

25"?!

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!

Obivously this month is going to make last April look like March 2012. /s

Talk about a tale of two halves for this month. The first half continued the cold and stormy pattern from the previous month and half. This culminated with the "bomb cyclone" mid-month and the flooding from it. The flooding at least locally surpassed last August's and was the first flooding since 2008 to cause evacuations in the area. The second month in contrast has been rather benign with plenty of 40-50 degree sunny days and 20-30 degree nights, with some light rain scattered in their for good measure. Overall this March will probably end up cooler than average thanks to the ridiculously cold first week.

Well I can definetly tell we have warmed up and are out of winter. This forum is a ghost town now.

It's starting to get pretty bad here. The water has flooded the entire park below the bridge and is about halfway through the school's front parking lot and starting to flood the street a bit. The river is still going up too. I got a feeling the main road to 16 is shut at the river. If 16 gets flooded were in a world of crap getting out of town.

Yeah apparently there is an ice jam on the fond du lac just below downtown. In Lodi there was a jam on spring creek in between town and Lake Wisconsin and with Darlington it's just natural flooding from the Pecatonica. I wonder if the ice jams aren't because there is a bunch of water trying to get into still very frozen lakes.

Just drove around the area a bit. Water is the highest since 2008, it's even higher than last august's flooding. No local road closures yet but wouldn't be surprised if we get some in the morning.We are so screwed if we get any major rain event at all this spring. These conditions are very similar to the antecedent conditions before 08.

Well looks like the entire NW part of the Midwest is under a flood watch or hydrological outlook now. Some rivers may hit major flood stage by the end of the week here.

Wednesday-Thursday looks quite the warm up for most areas. We could be reaching our first 50's since early november and maybe even our first 60's since mid-october at some point.

Considering it looks like this week is going to be the start of the melt, might as well start a thread for flooding. This year looks to be a potentially very interesting year in the Mississippi basin for flooding. Several areas have already high soil moisture and with the pretty extreme snowpack up north, we could be in for some major issues come early April.

B+ here. Between the snowy november, the extreme cold wave, and the heavy snow period it was a pretty good winter. My only complaint was December into early January, that is the only reason I give this winter a B+. My highlight of the winter was either the cold wave or either the snowpack we had at several points. Around that cold wave we had probably close to 20" on the ground! That is insane for this decade. This winter also had the most snow days we've had in quite a while with 6 in a 4 week period. Now we move on to spring storms!
