Don’t know why snow haters live here. I know right? Another dusting this morning lol. I will say though...there's definitely a sizable contingent who do like winter. I mean obviously still the minority, but a lot more than just us weather weenies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been like another 4” of fluff every 24 hours here and too cold for salt to work most of the time. Having a longer commute and always having to scrape the car is wearing on people. I honestly would prefer to get snow all in one big dog event followed by blue sky compared to this. This is still more fun than boring and gray. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warm and dry here usually consists of temperatures around 35-40 and 30MPH winds. Might as well be cold enough to look like winter when the warm option is still cold. lol Disagree. It’s going to be below 0 with more salt on the roads than snow on the ground. Hard pass 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted yesterday at 05:20 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:20 PM @beavis1729 I thought of you. This is deep deep winter. A thick drifty blanket of snow outside and I had to postpone a sledding promise to the nephews Saturday because its going to be TOO COLD to play in the snow!

ILSNOW Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Milwaukee on possible lake effect If the meso vort over the southern basin advects a few lake effect snow bands toward the western coast, there will be a chance for a couple inches of snow when everything is all said and done. This would then be multiple hours of LES and lake enhancement. Southeastern Wisconsin including, Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee and maybe eastern Waukesha are the mostly likely areas to be impacted by any LES or lake enhanced snow. This area is fairly broad, but there is uncertainty on how far inland this would move. Now the caveat that comes with any LES system, will it or will it not move inland. In the event that this all stays off shore this AFD will be for naught as we may get a dusting from the shortwave trough. On the other hand if the worse happens and we get multiple LES bands moving inland, then there could be some decent snow totals. A real hit or bust forecast.
