Lake Michigan freezing up fast here in SE Wisconsin. This is the first day it’s been solid.

Well you could've cut the corner for the mail person for gods sake lol
You’re not wrong. The plows will probably make one more pass so I’m hoping they will push the snow closer to or off the curb. That side is significantly more packed than the other side and it’s half slush on the street. Even if I cut the corner on the driveway she still can’t reach the box. If the plows don’t come by again I’ll clear it myself but hopefully a plow can do it in 2 seconds then I can do the finishing touches.

Finally got the driveway clear. Glad I splurged on an Ariens 2 stage blower this fall! Really tough to get accurate measurements here due to all the drifting but I’d guesstimate 10in here just south of Racine, WI on the lakefront. Thank you old man winter! Come back soon!

The lake is angry here in SE Wisconsin. No measurements but I’d estimate 30mph sustained winds on the direct lakefront.

Anyone think NWS bumps snow totals.
MKE already has, albeit not by much. Went from 5-9 for the far SE counties to 7-10.
LOT also working in this so wording on the latest AFD:
For an additional tweak from the previous forecast, based off very consistent ensemble probabilities and ingredients lining up for high QPF and heavy snow into portions of northern Illinois and northwest Indiana this evening, confidence has increased in a swath of 8"+ amounts, including interior portions of the city of Chicago.
Don’t think they will change amounts (at least not much) but confidence does seem to be growing that we could see some local amounts approaching or maybe exceeding double digits. Wait and see now.

Tom Skilling already mentioning this system in this evenings forecast. Good enough for me, lock it in.

LOL...might snow in Wisconsin!
//...Potential for Accumulating Snow Monday Evening ThroughTuesday... There is a potential for light to moderate accumulating snow starting Monday evening through Tuesday, mainly across southern Wisconsin. East to northeast winds will be gusty during this time as well, which could cause concerns for blowing and drifting snow. Lake enhanced snowfall is also possible for Racine and Kenosha counties during this time period. There is still a fair amount of uncertainty with snow totals for this system, so make sure to stay up to date with the latest forecast.//
Surprised advisories haven’t gone out in Kenosha/Racine counties yet but the snow cutoff is not making it an easy forecast here with models bouncing north and south. I’m not too confident in much LE as I think most of that will stay down toward the Lake and Cook county areas. Really, I just want to be included, even if I’m the kid who gets picked last in gym class.

Managed to accumulate about 3in here in Racine near the lake and it’s still coming down moderately. A nice little surprise with no advisory and the AFDs were only calling for 1-2in. Love this fluffy stuff.
(Ignore the Rick & Morty audio in the background lol)
