2012-2013 Winter Weather thread

[owbc]

It's an active weather pattern so there are 3 chances for snow in the next 9 days. A quick couple inches are possible on Monday night, especially in eastern WI. The bigger storm on Thurs-Fri favors southwest WI where a winter storm watch might be issued. The third storm in about a week might end up being the biggest one for the Midwest, but it's too early to tell where the highest totals will be.

 

Meanwhile, the high failed to reach 60 degrees in Miami today for the first time in over a year. Brrrr!!!!

How much snow did you guys get in SE WI?

[fondybrewfan]

Way more than we were supposed to get. I had a solid 3-4 inches at my house in FDL.

[trwi7]

3-4 (and still snowing) in Hartland.

A new weather site (Not safe for work due to language):

 

Great new weather site!

So whats the word for snow?

[owbc]

3-5" across the entire state. Maybe a couple inches more to the west/southwest of Madison.

Really glad I have to help my parents move tomorrow. Ugh. Same thing happened to us last year. We moved out on January 12th and it was the first big snowfall of the season.

[NeedMoreFans]

So what's up with this storm about to hit Tuesday? The NWS has 4-5 inches for Madison, news has far less. Any chance this thing can slide more north than it is forecasted to give us a big snowfall?

[owbc]

There's still some uncertainty with the Tuesday storm. However, the most reliable models suggest low snowfall totals (generally 3" or less). Don't expect anything big, especially in Madison.

[Invader3K]

Looks like the predictions have really been tempered down for my area of southern Wisconsin. That is good as I have a ton of stuff to get done tomorrow and don't really feel like dealing with bad roads on top of it all.

Last night on the 10pm news Vince Condella of Fox 6 had only 1”-2” total for where I live in Washington County, then this morning Rob Haswell of Fox 6 had it at 3”-5”, crazy how much this storm has changed.

[owbc]

Highway cams in Kenosha look nasty, most of the snow is probably going to fall quickly this afternoon.

[chadomac]

I have to drive from Milwaukee to Madison tonight for a show. Not looking forward to that. It's coming down sideways in Franklin, meanwhile my ladyfriend says it isn't even snowing in Menomonee Falls.

[DocLuna7]

It is coming down in sheets right now in New Berlin with the temperature to match. I am glad that I don't have to drive anywhere tonight, just taking out the dog was not fun.

[Raw Biz]

I got home to the Falls at 3:30 and it was coming down pretty good sideways.

[adamb100]

This storm could not have started at a worst possible time.

[adamb100]

This storm caught me by surprise. I was expecting snow but not THIS much of snow. I think Milwaukee got around 6 inches and its still falling.

[fondybrewfan]

The good news is the 10 day forecast doesn't show even the faintest chance for snow. I hope that holds up. I am ready for winter to be over for sure.

 

Its snowing again in FDL; weather channel says we have gotten around 3 inches but it seems like way more than that.

[owbc]

The forecast failed miserably, especially in Sheboygan!!! Some areas that were expecting only a couple inches got almost a foot with near blizzard conditions. This was a big storm over the plains but it was supposed to weaken much more before it reached Wisconsin.

[RobDeer 45]

How has the snowfall been in Northern WI this year? Curious what the totals are, around the average or below?

I used to live in Sheboygan, so seeing lots of FB pictures of all the snow in Sheboygan makes me laugh. 5 years in Texas, and it's much more fun to look at pics of the snow than to live in it, drive in it or shovel it. I'm trying to give sympathy back pains to those who have to shovel! :-)

Yes, being in Miami right now I don't really miss the cold or especially the driving. I still enjoy giving forecasts to my family (and BF.net) for WI. I saw the whiteout in Kenosha/Racine yesterday from the DOT highway cams so I emailed my dad to leave work early before the snow hit Milwaukee.

 

That being said, it looks like owbc is going to be moving somewhere colder and wetter later this year...

[adamb100]

This has definitely not been the winter of last year. Lots of snow in the past month. I'm ready for spring.

[JackNicholson1974]

Yeah lots of snow in the month of Feb. Not huge dumpings, but it seems like it would drop 1-3 inches a couple times a week for the past 4-5 weeks. Im ready for this to start to taper off and for March to bring warmer weather. I dont want it to me 80 degrees on St. Patricks day again, just start heading toward 40 on a regular basis.
