  1. Yeah, a bit of an underwhelmer probably due to dry air issues. First winter event in a long while I was legit pumped for, too. Oh well, into the ice box we go and while the warm up next weekend will feel great after that, if it (coupled with rain) gets us back to brown bare ground after all this...
  2. When was the last time we saw double digits from a single event? Might have been GHD I, although I was living in Milwaukee for that one. Even during the vaunted 2013-14, that was more like a 6" or less event every few days without a real big thumper that stands out. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  3. This could be the biggest hit yet for the southern 1/3 of WI. After another rather zzzzzz period in early-mid January, winter sure got real in a hurry. At least it's doing so sooner than '17-'18 did, so with any luck it won't linger into the back half of April again.
  4. Outside my apartment building (with GoPro) as I was about to head in to work at 3 AM. We were in a lull at this time, but it ripped pretty good off and on for most of the pre-dawn hours.
  5. After steady snow in Madison since around 4:30, finally got into a heavy band with some bigger flakes.
  6. All quiet at the moment after a dusting on top of a brief period of freezing rate late this morning/early afternoon.
  7. 12Z HRRR has us up to 8.4" (Kuchera) by 15Z tomorrow and still snowing. I was thinking the main impacts would be from this evening's rush into the overnight, but it looks like it will be rough well into tomorrow morning.
  8. Would like to see WAA of this magnitude in an April system with severe potential...
  9. I was saying it this time last year and I'll say it again...I'm not loving the cold, but we need a decent (climo) snowpack built up to make sure we don't dry out in the spring. Although, with all the rain late last summer maybe we don't need so much this time.
  10. MKX has hoisted a winter storm watch for all but their southeastern counties, effective beginning at 6 AM tomorrow.
  11. Arctic outbreaks are normal in January. If they continue into late March and especially April, then it becomes a problem. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  12. Not really, just got the first decent event of the winter Friday night into yesterday. 61-page thread (and growing) devoted to tracking that one!
  13. It's all good. I do lurk around here a lot because it's usually the only part of the forum where severe wx discussion is ongoing this time of year.
  14. 100X time lapse from my balcony, 3:10-4:40 PM.
  15. Here we go! Parking lot at my apt building has a solid dusting now, just started my GoPro timelapse off my balcony.
  16. Yup. SW side here also (south of the Beltline between Whitney and Gammon). Nice dusting on my car.
  17. It's a start. Maybe this will be better suited for another thread but I'm struggling to wrap my head around why this upcoming winter storm will not be able to produce at least a medium-ceiling severe weather episode in the warm sector. Not that I'd be able to chase it anyway but I'd just like to track some radar signatures a bit like your avatar to get the adrenaline pumping.
  18. Big winter outbreaks can and have happened, 1/7 and 2/5 (Super Tuesday) '08 and December 2015 spring immediately to mind, to a lesser extent February 2016 and '17. However the persistent issues from 2018 seem to be lingering with this one, particularly poor warm-sector lapse rates despite the Gulf being wide open and with it being winter, you'd think it would be so frigid upstairs that cloud cover wouldn't matter.
  19. That would be hilarious given how much MKX and our local mets (including the chief met at my employer) have been downplaying this system.
  20. Based on the latest Day 4-8, they're not expecting much out of this.
