In terms of precip they had their 2nd wettest February and 10th wettest winter.

going to have some good February and winter stats for Southern Wisconsin. The big themes are warm and wet

cut snow totals by about 40% with that run. drying trend starting off strong

March 10-20 looks cold. It remains to be seen what happens after that, but the pattern should remain active through the month.

12Z GFS is a N Illinois crusher

the drying trend should start momentarily

MKE broke their all time wettest February day.

about done with snow. Y'all can have it

2.15" of rain at the house so far today. normal Feb precip is only 1.52".

Already have an inch of rain this morning. Had our first thunder of the year as well

got down to 9 this morning. Have to think we're done with below zero temps for the year

now this is smashing a record

The pingers continue here. Precip keeps regenerating just to our west

the pinging has become constant here. if this carries on for the next 6 hours or so I'll get a feel for what LAF experienced during GHD1

That euro fantasy storm will trend drier and weaker.

Been mostly sleet here. Switches to freezing rain under the lighter returns

Crazy the difference in precip over a few miles. Looks like some sleet is mixing in here now

Rain and 30. We’ll see if the dynamic cooling wins out and brings us to sleet

Had some snow overnight. Transitioned to sleet now. Looks like precip will be spotty until the afternoon

Ready for some pingers

Hello darkness my old friend

Shades of the April 2018 blizzard

I think melt varies so much on pavement type etc. i remember during the first week of February 2011 after GHD1. The snow/ice on a sidewalk was melting in full sun while in the single digits

Didn’t stand a chance

Got down to 6 at the house. Saw as low as 3 on the drive in to work. This will be the first big test of sun angle season. Wall to wall sunshine vs mid 20s high temps. Will it melt the 1” of snow that drifted onto my driveway
