That line was wild and awesome!  It snowed pretty good when the line first reached my house, but then an intense squall hit similar to the one back in January.  Within a few seconds the visibility went to zero with very heavy snow and strong wind.  I thought I heard a bit of thunder, but the strike was on the far north side of CR so people up there saw/heard it better.  It was overall some of the heaviest snow I've seen in years.  I ended up with 1.1-1.2" in only 20 minutes.

 

Nice.  Don't see 3" per hour rates very often.

Looks like a bow echo approaching the Milwaukee metro! Surprised there is no SWS out.

Lol cycloneville cashing in during late March.

 

Haha.  Ma nature still owes us a heavy event, but this was a nice gesture. 

 

BTW uploading a vid now to youtube.  Just caught the tail-end of the crashing thunder at the beginning of my vid.  Damn Sony takes forever to start recording once you hit the record button unfortunately.

Here's the video from a short while ago.  Unfortunately the vid cam took forever to start actually recording after I pushed the rec button, so I missed most of the thunder following the lightning flash.  You can still hear a bit of it though at the very beginning of the vid.  The thunder was cool, but the snowfall rates from this event were much more impressive IMO.
