Some of better snows come in March due to warmer temps, more moisture return from south, unfortunately we never get em.

15.8" at DTW this March. No complaints. I only wish every March was like this. As I had said the midwest/lakes region in general has not had a snowy march in years. Usually February is the month that obliterates climo. Hopefully in '23-24 it's December.

Appleton zone forecast from this morning. To be fair, they were under a WWA at that point for 3-6", but doesn't show up explicitly in the zone text. Regardless, that area has seen 12"+ so far, and it's still S+ there right now. Would love to see a positive bust like that for once. :D

Just insane snow amounts all over the state today. This is going to be one of if not the most widespread 12"+ snowfalls in this state since 12/20/12. This is also now in the top 10 for daily snowfalls in Madison's history, with snow still falling. Today's storm is going to go down as one of the biggest overperformers in the Midwest at least in the last 15 years, if not since 2000.

Didn't really think about it until now, but today (and yesterday) is the 10 year anniversary of this beauty. Springfield IL broke their all-time record biggest snowfall with 18.5". Had close to a foot in the LAF. A couple of not 100% accurate maps below. :arrowhead:

DET just popped a 60 MPH gust, after a couple observations with 50+ MPH gusts...

EDIT: DTW apparently gusted to 67 MPH earlier.

I believe it the winds are screaming right now and I’m only a few miles to the NW of DTW.  I’m glad the tree company Davy trimmed the power lines in my area that was planned for maintenance. The winds were blowing my suv around like a tin can

It was very gusty. Wow on 66 mph though (per climate report). Had some light snow flying in the wind these evening. Obviously just a T.

Yeah, winds definitely overachieved. Would have qualified for a High Wind Warning in hindsight.

I was telling my mom "hmmm, winds so far aren't so bad" at 1pm yesterday. But little did I know...::lol:

Thankfully, the fact that the leaf out hasn't commenced yet and it was well above freezing kept the extent of power outages at bay.

So final totals ended up being 12.1" at Madison and 10" even at Green Bay. GRB just barely missed out on the max snowband, as there were several 12-15" reports all across the metro. I estimate we recieved about 15" here total at my campus. Today it is sunny and in the low 40's out. The snowpack is melting incredibly quickly. Or rather evaporating because there really isn't that much melt water out. Kind of what happens when you have the sun angle equivalent of September 16th.

Yes. The last thing we need is more power outages lol. And you were right, it was 67 mph.
