Started out with a full deck of low and extremely quick moving clouds but we're almost fully sunny now here too

Had the same issue with dense fog. Sitting at 57/56 at the moment. Will be interesting to see how much mixing we get. 

Cold air seems to be nuked. Source region is meh. After finishing Forch 1.0, could we have Morch 2.0? 

Seems like by the time we have a pattern change that would even support a potential stormier solution, source cold up north might be locked away. Torch time 

Looks like it’s been rocking along the I-72 corridor

This winter has been pretty awesome IMO. If it’s not going to snow, give me warm temps and dry weather

Last couple years felt like it was always 33 degrees, foggy, with an icy mist 

Probably my favorite winter of the last 5 years locally 

2 weeks of full winter with 17”+ on the ground, preceded and followed by warmth. Younger me would have hated this, but older me enjoys it quite a bit. 
 

I love tracking storms, but my sleep also enjoys not staying awake for model runs.

The trend over the last few days on the ensembles for the last few days of February has been awful. Trending to a -PNA/+EPO and at best a neutral AO and NAO pattern. So the eastern 2/3rds of the CONUS will trend mild to end this month as cold gets scoured from Canada. That’s not to say it can’t or won’t snow at some point in March, but we’re done with anything sustained at this point. The active stretch in January was fun. The rest has objectively sucked, which is how winters seem to go anymore. 

New climo - 2 weeks of winter preceded and followed by torch. Random 3 week cold snap in late april/early may when we are all fully in spring mode.

don’t worry, i’m a falcons fan.

it could be worse…

You guys dumped your idiot head coach, so there is hope... 

Now if you are a steelers fan, there is no hope.

You guys remember Will (pardon me, Alyssa) from Calumet?

Laurium couple arrested for child sexually abusive material (uppermichiganssource.com)

I think we can now safely assume that any reported snow measurements are slant sticked. Very hard to get a good measurement through the jail cell door. 

Temp up to 34 with roads in great shape. Sidewalks/parking lots still slick/slushy.

book your tahoe trip now, sure a lake death band is great but if u ever want to see wild stuff u need to time one of these in the sierra, this is your moment

 

Didn't they have an obscene snow depth last year? 

Sounds like multiple interstate closures downstate due to ice/wrecks

Flurries here. Clipper is sliding south. Story of this winter for central Minnesota. 

I would feel bad for you, but I’m still bitter about the 1,000,000” inches you hit last year while I stared at brown all season

Picked up about 24" in the past few days, def put a dent in the snow deficit.  Also nothing better then 104 degree water with a light snow falling on you. 

 

We love our hot tub in the cold, when there is no wind. If its windy I quickly build up the "beard ice" and it gets miserable fast. 

Flakes are pumping again as the backside moves through. May pick up another quick half inch 

Been pounding pretty good for the last hour and a half or so. Added 1.7”, at 9.9” with snow still falling. 

Big slug of moisture coming from the south. If that stays on track could pick up another inch or two

Have a snow depth of ~12", mostly low ratio cement. The upcoming cold snap will have this glacier hanging around for weeks. 

Have flipped to all snow as these showers move through. 

light to moderate snow now. Best rates I've had all since sunrise. 

Getting some light snow, would love for these spotty showers to build into something sustainable as the low swings past

I have some sort of precip falling, but through the window I cannot tell if it is rain or sleet. 

Go outside

Fuck that, its cold. 

But it does appear to be some white rain.

I think because a new lop is popping further east is giving the models fits. Most storms come down to nowcasting when it comes to banding but this event especially.

The HRRR is struggling on that from run to run.
