It is really starting to come down here. Radar says rain but evaporative cooling has caused it to be all snow. Pretty big flakes coming down. 

I would be down with that. Good thing an 84hr RGEM run is never wrong at all right? /s

Thinking the SSW will muddy predictions for MLK/Val/Presidents' day, but effects should wane by early march. My in-development BS rule has had a good handle on this winter thus far and the waning effects of the SSW should allow a return to the expected progression by the time March rolls in. This is pretty iffy so far, but I drew a rough surface map of what we could expect for the St. Patrick's day period if my model is correct.

Ehh I don't know. Doesn't have random crapvection in Missouri and Kentucky to stop incoming moisture.

Happy New Year!!!!

It has been coming down liek crazy for about the past hour or so here. Eyeballing it off the sidewalks I would say 3-4" or so but that might be off. Easily 1/2" an hour rates right now. Little more wind and drifting then I though there would be.

Interestingly enough Madison needs only 5.2" to make this December above-average for snowfall. It would be the first one since 2016. Too bad we had all that melting last week or else we would actually have a decent snowpack right now.

La Crosse bringing top notch banter to their forecast discussion

Lol got to love a Bob Uecker reference in an AFD.

Ok can it stop going south now? Any more and I could be out if decent accumulations.

Last night we got a good 2" of snow from this little system. A pretty light powder of a snow, just enough to make everything look nice and white again after a very inconviently timed melt. 

Cold front is here now. I just got very windy withing the last 10-15 minutes and the temperature is starting to drop pretty quickly.

So uhh the Euro went a little nuts out west around New Years Day.

Good thing it's Kuchera at 222 hrs. So the chances of this happening are zilch to none. But just to even see this modeled at fantasyland is crazy.

Los Angeles is about to go full NYC in April I feel like.

So you're back in southern Wisconsin for now?

Yeah until the end of January.

Around here we finished up with 5-6" of snow. It was a pretty nice first snowstorm, not too much to write home about. At least it looks like December for a few days.

I say now we are up to 4-5" of snow out htere. The snow is wet, but not cement. I do feel like if we had a cold ground and pavement from the beginning we would defintely have another inch or two on the ground. Overall though a pretty nice storm to really start off the winter. 

So far I would say we got about an inch or so on the ground. Roads really got bad here in the last 3-4 hours.  

Yeah I think 4-5" is a good final call here. This storm will be a longer one though, it's starting now and won't really get done until sometime tomorrow afternoon. Sometimes though those are the best storms. The snow should last a few days at least, as it looks like we will be in the upper 20's until the middle of next week.

MKX's first call is 2-4". I think that's pretty accurate. I guess I can't complain too much, it's snow which is much needed right now.

The sad thing is, 4-6 degrees above normal in Wisconsin in December isn't exactly warm, so when the inevitable flip to BN occurs right around the spring equinox, it effectively keeps us at roughly the same temperature (highs 35-45, lows 25-35) for about 5 months straight. 

Don't you love our new winter of January 15th to April 15th?

Has anyone been paying attention to Joe Bastardi's tweets. Really shocked at his stance on this pandemic being that he is from the scientific community 

 

Joe Bastardi and Scientific Community really don't belong in the same sentence.

I hope we can break this pattern come January cause otherwise we may seriously have an 11-12 2.0. Also make this the 4th year in a row and the 6th out of the last 10 to have a warm and dry december. This gets really really old after a while.

Now I am home here in Columbus, it is compltelty different here. we have a solid 1-2" on the ground with a ton of melting going on after the rain. It is super foggy out rn and has a January Thaw type of feel outside. 

Has been pretty much all mood flakes and/or white rain here. No accumulation at all.

Whatever happens with next week's storm, it looks like the airmass after it will be our first real wintry aimrass of the season, not counting whatever the heck happened the week before halloween. It'll be nice to get in a much more active pattern, the last few months have been pretty boring outside of the Election day warmth, the mid-october cold snap, and the tropics.

I think tomorrow will be an inch or so up here as we will probably get some flow off Green Bay keeping us a bit warmer before the transition hits. Down home it'll probably be more like 2-3" on grassy surfaces before the transition.
