nasty snow squalls today and now the melted snow has frozen on the roads and sidewalks

Daily record of 1.6” at MSN 

probably got an inch on the grass.  nothing but slush on roads.   seems like it'll be a pretty even matchup between snow rates and melting through the rest of the daylight hours today

for these low rate, long duration events it's a good reminder to use the snow depth output on the models instead of snow accumulation.  That will be much more representative of what you'll actually see on the ground

Point forecast has us down to 8 on Saturday night.   Anybody want to take a bet that we'll have a colder lowest temp in the month of November than in December?

Snow showers have accumulated on the grass and roofs here.  Nothing on paved surfaces yet

which shore?

Door County.  Going to find a SE facing area, maybe Cave Point park and watch the monsters roll in 

Nice storms here.  Hail swath through downtown Madison. Going to be on the shores of Lake Michigan tomorrow. Excited for the waves 

Lots of rain and lots of wind coming.  Gonna be a classic fall storm 

Green Bay just tied their monthly record high of 75.  Set all the way back in 2020

had a record warm low of 62 yesterday, now picking up some beneficial light rainfall.  Up to 0.31" for the event so far

getting so ice pellets mixed with rain here with the heavier showers

Just had some thunder with some post frontal storms moving in.  This is certainly one of the more dynamic systems we've had recently.

surprise tornado warning in SE Wisconsin.  Looks like multiple spinups in a QLCS

Already down to 31 at my house. Cold air drainage working well tonight

I have nothing to back this up scientifically but it seems as if local wx is so boring like 90% of the time when a hurricane is making landfall in the CONUS.

And it’s one thing if you’re poor and can’t afford to leave like with Katrina in New Orleans. These people are not poor. 

A good number of them are though.  Once again, poor people will be disproportionally affected by this hurricane.  

Listening to the EMS for Lee County is pretty rough,  so many disabled people stranded in water or people in mobile homes stranded in water

good thing they don't have state income tax so they can put that money into home insurance

Have friends riding this out in Rotonda West.  Just moved down there from Jersey too.  Tried to convince them to leave but they insisted on staying put.  They will be passing on condition updates as long as they can.

Damn, what a hellscape

Has there ever been a CAT 5 hurricane that was moving with an easterly component in the Atlantic Basin? Most hurricanes this strong are continuing westward or have some sort of westerly component.

Hurricane Michael, 4 years ago

low cuts from Omaha to Duluth,  we get record high temps and a highly forced lined of storms.  QLCS tornadoes galore.  Fargo gets 30"
