Our record lows are -13 and -14 tomorrow and Monday.  Record cold max is -3 both days.  Those seem like our best chance of breaking records this stretch 

Light snow for the past few hours at -5.  Pretty crazy stuff

sort of an odd situation

the scattered very weak  north to south moving radar echoes over IL are light snow showers (drove through some this morning 

yet the stronger returns over eastern IA into Western IL moving east appear to be virga

 

those snow showers are below the mid level dry layer while the stronger returns moving eastward are higher up and evaporating as they fall through the dry layer

first sunrise of the season before 7 am here.  The longer afternoon daylight was noticeable but starting to get signs of it in the morning as well

only down to -2 last night due to the snow and cloud cover.  Looks like our coldest day coming up will be Sunday with highs struggling to break zero and temps dropping into the mid teens Sunday night.  A warming trend commences after that

Fairly consistent signal of temps around freezing by next weekend and then periods of above average temps after that.  The 20s next week will feel like a heat wave 

big dendrites in Iowa should be heading this way later this afternoon

whenever skies are clear temps really tank here.  It's down to 0 already as we try to tag our 5th day of negative double digit temps after midnight

Looks like Ohio has undercounted about 4,000 covid deaths and will be adding them to their total over the next few weeks as part of their data reconciliation process

you may remove one spartman but three will come to take his place

just actually looked at their profile picture for the first time.  yikes

NAM is juiced.   Definitely taking the under but can see an advisory level snow for S WI and N IL.

I noticed the February F6 for ORD is way off.  It's showing 13.3" of snow this month when in reality there has been 7.0"

MSN has a similar issue.  Shows 5.3" this month when there's only been 3.7"

torched all the way up to 10 today after an early low of -18

First spring flood outlook comes out on Thursday.  Would think they will be hitting the messaging pretty hard, especially for central and southern regions of the sub

getting a few drips from melting on dark objects on my deck today.  Feb is sun angle szn

euro and gfs both trying for delayed but not denied look with a potential big dog beyond the current thread worthy events

follows the trends that the end of an arctic outbreak is usually followed by a significant storm

with a few more relatively "mild" days today and tomorrow, it looks like colder air filters back in later this week and into the weekend, with Saturday night into Sunday being the coldest timeframe(probably even colder than this past weekend).  After that, a slow but steady warming trend looks to occur for next work week bringing us out of this cold snap.

Like Cyclone we beat Sunday morning with a -17 here.  -31 in Black River Falls and -34 in Merrill and Land O’ Lakes.  Some of the coldest spots in Wisconsin

GFS tries to gift us a couple days of double digit highs at the end of the run. 
 

30’s will feel like a heatwave at some point 

rockin shorts on that first above freezing day

Only got to 0 for a high yesterday. Getting some flurries now at -3

it's all gone downhill since Alek switched his profile pic to the lock

for some reason the Euro initializes with 27" of snow depth here even though the official measurement is only 13".  The GFS is much more realistic with an estimated 16" snow depth at  T-0.

So about the GEM.

lol seems like an unlikely outcome but trends are to a switch to average temps around the start of next week.  the models are still honing in on the exact solution but it looks like after the TPV moves over the northern sub next weekend the cold air will start to decay and some pacific air will make it into the region

Fort McCoy hit -29 this morning.  Black River Falls and Rhinelander got -26
