I guess so.

This is pretty disappointing.

Yeah this is pretty dissapointing, I mean 6-8" isnt a minor storm, but it's not the foot that was looking to happen at one point. Ahh well I'll try to enjoy this one and he who knows maybe that GFS run will come to fruititon.

I am going to say that thank god there isn't a snowpack right now over southern Illinois and Indiana. Otherwise we'd have a repeat of Nebraska last year.

Just a bit different.

I am getting excited for this storm. Even MKX is starting to get on board with things and they have downplaying this storm all week.

I'd be fine with a super tuesday redux.

I like the look of that.

For me 2019 was one really weird year. My top 10 goes like this for the year. #1 March 14-16 Flooding- The 2nd biggest flooding event locally after 2008. Was mainly caused by our decently large snowpack melting all at once and getting blocked up by the ice that was still on area lakes. Was only the second time that there was evacuations because of flooding, and only the second time that water got all the way up into my school's parking lot. Overall a pretty memorable event. #2 Late January Cold Blast- The coldest temperatures that my area has seen since 1996. I got down to -32 here with -50 windchills. I didn't leave the house at all for three days. The only time I have been truly worried about the cold affecting my house. #3 Last Winter's Crazy Snow Stretch- From about January 17th to February 18th I received over 45"+ of snow. That is just an absolutely crazy number. Madison received 36" in the same period, but I got more snow in several of the storms so I figure it was at least 45". Included a 20" snow depth at one point during the cold blast before getting mostly melted during Super Bowl weekend. It promptly rebuilt itself to about another 15" of depth on the 18th. Up there with 2007-08 for craziest stretch of snow in the last 20 years. #4 55 degrees on Christmas- 2nd warmest Christmas for Madison at 55 degrees. It was so weird being outside on Christmas day with nothing more than a hoodie. What was also so weird was the fact that there was no wind. Just very odd weather for Christmas Day. Especially after the next event on the list. #5 This Winter's Early Start- The snowiest day on record in October for Madison. It felt like January outside the whole day. It also left us with a snowpack on the first day of November and coupled with a couple snowfalls the next week led to that mid-winter like stretch on veteran's day week. I think we are still ahead in the snow total department at the end of December form that stretch. Hopefully we can repeat that pattern come January. #6 Mid-July Heatwave- I wasn't around for this event but from what I have heard it was a pretty humid heatwave ala Mid-July 2016. Had some pretty good squall lines come through too, nothing like up north had but still notable. Fortunately I was up in Minnesota at the time so I didn't have to deal with it. #7 Cold and Wet Spring- The winter pattern continued through most of the spring leading to Farmers not getting into their fields until June in some places, if at all. This spring also had more late snowstorms including one on the last weekend of April I unfortunately had to camp in. Just a very blahh spring overall. #8 Early October and Late May flooding- More minor events compared to the March flooding but still notable. I'd say they were less than the August 2018 flooding here but more than the July 2015 floods. #9 Fog at -4 degrees- On February 19th we had fog at -4 degrees here. It kind of sucked walking through going to school, being extremely cold and a bit damp at the same time. Just a very unusual event #10 Thunder-Ice- Another very unusual event. Not everyday you hear thunder when it's pouring freezing rain. Had rainfall (icefall?) rates very similar to thunderstorms and some pretty loud thunder too. Did give me my first thunder of the year so Yay? As you can see 2019 was a crazy year around here. Probably the most consistently crazy year of the decade.

Is that 540 over Miami? Don't see that every day.

See, I knew getting that early snow was a bad sign for winter.

That gradient on the south side there could be interesting. I might get 2 inches while Portage gets 8.

That seems pretty viable to me.

Funny how one week of below freezing temperatures make 36 go from blecch to nice.

Only got to 15 last night. Had some cloud cover that kept things warmer than they would've been otherwise.

Got down to 4 here last night.

Wow. Wonder when's the last time Wisconsin had the coldest spot in the country?

It got down to all of 5 degrees here last night.

Same difference. Both are notorious spots in winter for being colder than everywhere else.

What, Lone Rock coldest spot in the area? That's crazy talk. /s

Temperatures are definitely going to drop tonight. It's clear and there's a fresh snowpack on the ground. We will easily hit the upper single digits at this rate with a decent shot at lower single digits. It is way too early for this crap.

We have easily blown by the initial predictions of 3" here for this storm. We are probably at 5-6" of snow on the ground going off the cars and sidewalks look. This means coupled with last weeks 3" and 5" events we are now over a foot for the season. And it's only November 6th! To put i one perspective last year I think i was early-january before we had a foot for the season.

Got down to 14 here last night. I was a little surprised by how cold it got, like I was expecting 20 or so but 14?!

Is that 10 inches over me? Getting started the same way we left off last year I see.

lol that nyc snowhole. You can hear the weenies dying inside right now.
