  1. March(and spring!) is around the corner. The month looks to start off with a warming trend and then gets active with a few SW flow systems rolling through the area around the middle and end of next week.
  2. I actually think its the forecast snowfall amounts in the grids from each forecast office. Which had their last major update about 3 am. But in this case you should either create your own graphic for this situation or do something else to explain the situation because these are going to be drastically different in an hour or two
  3. the NWS twitter account just sent out graphics showing 4" in Madison and 7" in Milwaukee LOL not a good look
  4. GFS finally fully capitulated, down to less than an inch here on all models. Was looking back and at the 12z run two days ago the GFS had a 15" jackpot in green bay. Not the best winter for our hometown model.
  5. Eh we've been pretty lucky overall this winter with a few overperformers and deep snowcover for about the past month. Also my mind is switching to spring mode so by the end of this month I'm rooting for warmer weather and thunderstorms vs cold and snow.
  6. The trend downward here continues on the GFS. Still warning criteria but losing about 2” per run
  7. Kuchera is actually better than the standard 10:1 because its actually showing lower ratios which are much more realistic for this storm,
  8. 3km NAM is a bit healthier into Southern Wisconsin
  9. Some areas with Winter Storm Watches in Wisconsin get 0 snow with the 0z NAM
  10. from 11.1" to 0.7" in 2 runs of the NAM. Pretty impressive I must say
  11. Here is surface temps which shows a similar pattern.
  12. It has much better verification scores than the GFS and is only slightly worse than the Euro.
  13. GFS still north. but trend in less snow here is obvious. from 10.1" to 8.9"
  14. This is probably the reason all the offices are going with such high totals and watches
  15. NAM went from 11.1" to 4.7" here between the 12z and 18z run
  16. the text for the watch is 7-12" for MSN. That's just taking the GFS straight and disregarding any other guidance
  17. Lol MKX going WSW for most of the CWA. Not sure I would have done that
  18. Trending toward DAB to 2” here. Will just have to see if the GFS falls in line
  19. my second post call is still in play. We will see what the euro shows
  20. if Madison gets 14” I’ll eat a hat. But actually this is looking good for a high advisory low end warning criteria snow here. Will be interesting to see if any other models folllow the ukmet in shutting us out
  21. Yeah late February 2017 was very impressive in terms of widespread warmth. Like a mini March 2012
  22. I’ve never seen a more misleading dark blue on a temp scale
  23. Yeah the upper level evolution of the Euro and some of its ensembles that I’ve looked at seem to make more physical sense than what the gfs is showing
  24. This is a complicated pattern and there are numerous ways this can evolve. Depending on how strong the first and second waves are and the timing between the two. 6z GFS is probably the upper limit here with the second wave coming in further north and deepening the original low substantially. I also wouldn’t mind a better hit further south since we’ve gotten our fair share of snow here and the weenies down south could use a nice storm
  25. A bit off topic but this vortex isn’t going anywhere any time soon. A good analog is 1997 and the stratospheric final warming didn’t occur until April 30.
