On my way home from Lake Geneva currently.

Stuck on Rt 31, just north of Rt 176 due to multiple accidents and cars not being able to make it up the hill.

Granted it was end of day but interstates went haywire quickly in Milwaukee last Wednesday with snow that started in the 3 p.m. hour ("peak heating"). It wasn't treacherous but certainly greasy under the wheels combined with people forgetting how to drive.

Milwaukee County DOT had salt trucks in waiting mode deployed this morning even though they look to be fringed.

WBBM traffic report says numerous spinouts and cars in ditches. So either hype machine or some credence and real impacts on roads already.

Planning to get a good rest tonight and then an early a.m. drive to MKE to grab the sleds. Won't be getting up at 3:45 or 4 a.m. EST like Tiger said he would for his 9:30 a.m. tee time but figure on the road by 5:30 as snow just getting started and then back by 8 or so with fingers crossed for a strike in progress across mby.

I rode fresh powder in early April in UP maybe ten years ago after grooming was done for season. Tomorrow would be latest ever for us and to potentially have it local on the still open no-till bean fields would be fantastic.

31 car temp parked on I-41 in Tosa. Snow caked on signage Everything non-paved is whitened up. Just slush on pavement yet.

250 miles the last two days staying in Munising, MI. One more day tomorrow with some fresh powpow.

Let the storm pass and then take the drive back home.

Great weekend up in Walker, MN with the sleds. Trails were groomed and fast. Have to believe there is a sweet second half of season riding going for most of the northern half of our sub.

It takes a lot to bring the UP to a halt, but from what I'm hearing around the area, it's bad.  I estimate 18-19" here since yesterday, and its so dense.  The snow is swallowing up the house.
Standing down my drive, snow is seriously at my freaking chin taking this pic.  I'm gonna have to shovel the windows out before they smash.

Underway with about a 1/4" down.

Haven’t started a thread in years it seems like so figured why not. 
I am almost more interested in this system over the early week system given the ceiling for this one looks to be much higher with a lot of potential.

Raining and 27.

It was -27 in Madison at 8 a.m. this morning on the truck gauge.

Getting south of Richmond now and already bouncing between -22 and -23. Bottom about to drop.

Pixie dust under heavy returns.

your not really on the fringe

Edit: Why the conservative WSW from LOT? Not saying I don't see their map.

Edit 2: Conservative in terms of only Watches for the northern tier of counties.

See LOT going with the north solutions. Feels the Euro is an outlier...which it is at this point. Hoisted Watches for the far north counties of Illinois.

Around 6 inches down and now coming down heavy again. We had a nice rally band around the 4 a.m. hour that tipped the scales - school called off. Maybe we make a run at 8 inches based on what's still upstream.

Flipped to snow in Woodstock.

Back to Woodstock. Everything glazed, although not enough to the point where you have icicles hanging from the street signs.

Working up in Milwaukee today. Love the trends and thinking a midday precip start will yield a wintry drive home whether that be 43 or 94 south toward the border. After that - will we stay all snow on the northern tier is the beautiful nowcast question.

Quick mention in the LOT AFD on their contemplated inclusion of McHenry in the WSW was a sign things have trended positive. Nice little about face shaping up - fingers crossed the local sled trails are on their way to a half-foot refresher.

Curious if anything is happening under those returns in SE Wisconsin. Nada downtown rn

30 and rain (ZR). Lake Geneva. Kind of racing to stay ahead of this precip on commute to MKE.
