the back edge seems to be making good progress through Iowa. thinking this may be one where the accumulating snows end earlier than expected

down to 30 degrees. Accumulating everywhere it’s not paved

Light snow here. No accumulation yet

still virga here. Snow should commence around 3

2" here. let's move onto warmer weather afterwards

big if true

core of the coldest air seems to be centered around next Tuesday. highs will struggle to reach freezing. Moderation should occur into the latter half of next week

18Z NAMs cutting snow totals by over 50%, 24 hours before the start of the event. A tradition unlike any other

12Z GFS continues to nudge southward. Going with a first and final call of 4.8" here

the timing on this is moving up. What looked like a completely overnight event west of Lake Michigan now looks like it will be begin early Thursday afternoon

0Z GFS is definitely wagons south. Gets solid snow down to the I80 corridor. Also much more realistic with QPF, cuts precip totals in half

A cool mid month pattern looks to kick off with a significant snowstorm. GFS putting up laughable totals north of the Wisconsin/Illinois border but regardless this looks like it will require advisories/warnings.

Getting a mix of rain and snow here. Temps are 35 so nothing sticking

For February in Madison: 23rd warmest on record, 6th wettest on record. Snow ended up slightly below average at 11" For winter as a whole: 15th warmest on record, 13th wettest on record. Snow was slightly above average at 40.4". (Since 2000 we've had 6 of the 20 warmest winters here, while during the same time we've only had 1 of the coldest 20 winters- 2013/14) Milwaukee had their 14th warmest February and 5th warmest winter on record. 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
