Think we’ll make a run at 0 at my house tonight

1.8" here.  still some flurries now but it's all melting on contact.  easy shoveling

Things are looking CAD with a few stretchers of WAD mixed in 

a completely unforecast shortwave is moving through currently and giving us some rain.  Models didn't really have anything until some sprinkles shown during the 18z runs

This storm was really the first snowstorm I remember somewhat completely. If I recall it had blizzard conditions for a while at Madisn. This is the one that caused the interstate to close between Madison and Janesville, leading to a bunch of people being stranded for quite a bit. It's the reason why there are crossing gates at select interchanges in Wisconsin on the interstates. This storm, the 6/7/08 tornadoes, and the 08 flooding are the events that really got me into weather. I would love a repeat of this storm, without the people being stranded of course. 

I remember turning on the scanner for that, there were people stranded who need insulin and the paramedics were riding snowmobiles to reach them.  Luckily they got there but were some tense times.

Hope you were able to enjoy.  How did it go?

nothing severe at work but lots of 1" hail through downtown Madison.  Lots of good lightning and thunder as well

severe warning for wind/hail.  Storm moving into Dane county

It's a hard comparison. It definitely will rain/snow on more days in Detroit, but total amounts are probably relatively close on average. 

30 year average for Detroit.  6.64”. 
30 year average for Fort Myers. 5.64”

.51” so far.  Should easily pass 2” with the trowal tomorrow and the wrap around precip tomorrow night 

33 at the house this morning with widespread frost

only down to 40, cloud cover kept us from a frost last night

reeling in this late week rainer.  Hoping for 2"+.  

Might not get reflected in the daily lows but will have a tough time getting below 70 tonight

Ready for the cool tbh. Next weekend should be pretty nice 

Looking like an overperformer tonight

Got 0.62”. A nice soaker this morning.  Upcoming stretch looks fairly wet as well

looking like a good chance at WAA showers and storms overnight into tomorrow morning

Got down to 40 here this morning with patchy fog

NSIDC extent at 4.28 and area at 2.63 with some time to drop more, especially extent. Definitely have had some excitement to end the melting season

Family member took this in the NW corner of Dane County

Had some pea sized hail with the initial round of storms.  Nice line forming to our west and about to roll through now 

Long range looking more active after the next 10 days

looks like we have the beginnings of an eye.  also looks to be deviating a bit right of projected track

A little cooler interlude next week but signs are there for big heat in the last half of the month.

you had a few HRs in the past month but looks like you'll go down swinging this time.
