here is another example of bullshit NWS forecasting out of Milwaukee:

TONIGHT  
SNOW. SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 2 TO 5 INCHES. TOTAL SNOW  
ACCUMULATION 2 TO 8 INCHES. NEAR STEADY TEMPERATURE AROUND 18.  
NORTH WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH. CHANCE OF SNOW NEAR 100 PERCENT.

this is embarrassing. I'm sorry, you just cannot pull this stuff. What happend to forecasting, and if you bust...own it?

I like how they have a giant range in snow amounts but give an exact temp for the whole night. :lol:

as of now have not heard one impressive total out of this. We've learned to appreciate water out of a turnip. And radar doesn't really depict a big influx for a dramatic uptick.

Seems to be in line with this winter

Widespread 3-6" reports across NE IA/S WI/N IL thus far. Things are going about as expected at this point.

We've been exclusively freezing rain for over 2 hours now.  The glazing has capped off the blowing snow potential DVN was concerned about earlier.  

Looks like our snow total will finish with 1.0", which brings us to 12.0" for the season.  We'll see what the last half of Feb and March does, but it's looking like it's gonna be another sub 20" season if trends continue.
