there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Starting Wednesday things are looking warmer with higher dewpoints and chances for storms. Euro shows a high pressure building in after that for a beautiful weekend next weekend with temps in the 60s and 70s

Snow showers and flurries this morning. A first for my birthday. Snow has now fallen in 8 consecutive calendar months.
Happy Birthday!

Funnily enough Sunday is the 30th anniversary of this storm. https://www.weather.gov/mkx/051090-spring-snowstorm. This storm dropped up to 6 inches in a band from Green Bay to Waukesha. Unfortunately the heavy snow caused a ton of tree damage. What's weird is that that winter also started early in October.It is just odd hoe this year has followed 1990 almost to a T patterns-wise. Hopefully that continues as the second half of that month turned out to be pretty warm and stormy for the region.
maybe we could get a repeat of the June tornadoes that year

Hearing reports of flurries in the Milwaukee area this morning.

it's going to be weird having the sun set after 8pm with the temps falling quickly through the 30s. Must be even weirder for Eastern time zone peeps who's sunset is closer to 9.

Obviously that's a very wintry May forecast, but I am wondering if the coldest temperature in Michigan will actually be somewhere in lower Michigan in a rural area.
Keep an eye on Black River Falls(KBCK) and Sparta/Fort McCoy(KCMY) in Wisconsin, especially Friday night, Sunday night and Monday night. Winds look to stay up a bit so there will no true tanking but if an site is going to do something crazy it'll be one of those two. Also Land O'Lakes(KLNL) can get very cold but I don't track that one as much.
For example Fort McCoy hit 28 and Black River Falls hit 24 this morning while Madison was only 44.

Looking at records for MSN most are probably unreachable but still interesting to note:
5/8: Low-26 Low Max-41
5/9: Low-20 Low Max-40
5/10: Low-22 Low Max-41
5/11: Low-29 Low Max-40
5/12: Low-24 Low Max-44
The only one with a realistic chance of being broken at the moment looks to be Monday's record low of 29. The rest look to be unreachable.
In addition the 8-11 all have measurable daily snowfall records so don't see any of those getting broken atm.

Yeah, hopefully I speak for a lot of us that this blowtorch would not be desirable; I'd settle for consistent average to a bit above average temps this time of year. A lot of 70s.
blowtorch means death ridge, lets get an active pattern with thunderstorms and mild temps

more credence to the idea that this has been spreading in America since late last year

The virus has already taken out the most vulnerable, that's how diseases work.
Lets see how things go after reopening... that's truly the only way we can see how this is going to play out.
LOL "pandemic response team",
That's a partisan excuse.
that's how some diseases work. the 1918 flu disproportionately affected young healthy people

We just saw what happens when a virus is tracked from initial reports until it spread through the entire population.
People freaked out and went 100 times further in an attempt to mitigate its spread compared to most viruses.
also we are much less accustomed to death now. when someone in middle age dies these days we treat it as a shock and something that should be avoided, rather than 100 years ago when it was commonplace for children and young adults to die often(from disease, starvation, war etc.) as humanity progresses we accept less death and for the most part that's a good thing.

I think we just watched our first social media driven human pathogen cycle through the population.

Once again this thread is just proving how polarizing online discussions become. We either get people complaining about people being out and about without masks or sharing images that make beaches look much more crowded than they are or sharing fake stories about how the new world order has brought this disease upon us to destroy our freedoms and parroting some online information from very questionable sources. Very few people here are actually discussing a productive way to handle this disease.

forecast has lows in the 30s for the next 7 days. Don't know if we can break any records but next Monday would be our best shot with the record low being only 29.
This morning temps only got down to 40. about 4 degrees above the predicted, maybe this trend will continue
-
also disappointed but not shocked by the anti vaccination thoughts here. it doesn't make your immune system weaker, it's provoking the exact same response in your body as if you actually got the disease, that's why it's effective. Though maybe you are right and we should go back to having 15 million deaths a year due to smallpox and 500,000 deaths from polio each year. There's a reason life expectancy has gone up so much in the past 100 years and its not because we're eating more cheeseburgers.

This will be inherently more deadly than the flu because no one has any prior immunity from previous exposure or a vaccine like millions upon millions do every flu season, this is a fact that cannot be denied or argued.

Was there never a thread made for this event? I remember living in Iowa City and taking a drive west to experience a May snow.

Based upon every other promise they have given I would be completely skeptical of any timeline they are projecting.
Yeah I remember when everyone could get a test in March. And 60 million antibody tests would be available by the end of April. Lots of people make lots of promises that are rarely fulfilled

Or maybe it is the numbers piling up from that election that wasn't postponed...
It’s mostly still the meat packing plant outbreaks in Green Bay but there were a lot of new cases in Milwaukee and Kenosha counties as well
