  1. The main line hit the house. Huge burst of hail and about 50 mph winds featuring a fun hail on snow pile pic
  2. Don’t know if the cooler temps are affecting atmospheric optics/acoustics but this lightning and thunder is some of the most vivid I can recall
  3. Cluster of storms about to hit. Almost constant thunder and lightning
  4. 3rd warmest December 1- February 2 on record behind 2001-02 and the infamous 1877-78. Didn’t realize how much we’d torch next week but looking like a very good chance of 50s. Snow down to less than 50% coverage in my yard. Mostly just piles where I shoveled
  5. looking like we'll close in on a top 30 warmest January here. Should be 3+ degrees above average
  6. the only major signals I see for Feb are drier than average first half, starting warmer but potential for some cool weather mid month. I would expect east coast troughing to maintain for the last half of February into the first week or so of March. Hard to say anything beyond that
  7. got some snow, guessing around an inch but it's already melting
  8. this system is really conflicting with my mental model of what a snow or ice storm would look like for this region. Not to say it won't happen but it just seems strange to have a 1018 mb low with nothing impressive upstairs dump so much precip
  9. Tiny flakes here. Like drizzle hitting your face. No accumulations yet
  10. sounds very similar to the snow i experienced last saturday night. barely even visible
  11. HRRR has made significant strides south overnight. May be tough for us to get an 1” here now
  12. you can feel the cold just settling into the house at this point. Also roads are becoming worse every day, the tiny bit of melting from the sun and cars driving over the packed snow has slowly turned it into ice. The warmup later this weekend will be much appreciated
  13. definitely not as cold as areas in E Iowa and N Illinois. Made it to 1 at the house yesterday and 3 today.
  14. only down to -9 and -10 the past two nights. cloud cover and strong mixing have kept us from fully tanking. wouldn't surprise me if Saturday morning is the coldest of this entire stretch
  15. excited for the pattern change next weekend, should reset the pattern and get us out of the deep cold
  16. Lake effect clouds streaming eastward off the Madison lakes this morning
  17. Just took my first drive outside the neighborhood after the storm and besides highways the roads are 90-100% covered in snow and ice. With the cold air it should be staying like that for the next week
  18. we're having some very minor accumulation tonight, the flakes are so tiny you can't even see them in the streetlight or really in person but you can feel them coming down. Definitely a bit surreal
  19. looking good for around an 1" tonight, like it's been said above will be very high ratio
  20. Didn’t really accumulate anything after 8 PM last night so ended between 10 and 11”. Major drifting though. Had to clear my driveway again and relatives in rural areas have 3 foot drifts and will need a bobcat to clear the snow out
  21. Very light snow the past two hours. Barely any accumulation. Lots of drifting though
  22. Between 10-11 but impossible to accurately measure at this point. Drifting is getting impressive. Even some bare spots in my yard. snow is winding down. About .25” an hour now. Could get a few patches of enhanced snow over the next couple hours but overall shouldn’t get more than 2”
  23. around 9". drifts are impressive, it's all fractured dendrites now. wind is steady but will really pick up from the NNW after sunset
