I honestly don't know if I've seen that color orange on a velocity sig before

That's a wild velocity sig

Fairly impressive winds as things rolled through here. Nothing major, though. Happy to see some action. Some reports of 80mph+ gusts with that line before it got here but not sure we saw that at my location. I'm guessing more like 50-60mph

I don't know. Plenty of dudes out there with their lawn tractors loving cutting lines in their lawn like it's a baseball field. I own a native plant nursery and probably 70% of my customers are women. Apologies on the OT. Boring af weather wise right now (and in the future apparently).

AleK knows what's up. Kill your lawn (at least the big parts you're probably not using)...

You know it's bad when the Med range thread = Summer Banter thread.

Snow has ended here. Measured 6.7" here west of Madison. Agree with Cyclone, winds didn't quite materialize out this way - seems like areas east of here saw the higher sustained winds and gusts. Very happy with the outcome - local forecast of 5-9" was spot on. Good way to end what was otherwise a pretty boring winter.

Models were picking up on the precip lull earlier today. Watch a regional radar and you will see that things are starting to fill in. From MKX: As precip continues to shift east, attention will turn westward toward the precip responsible for phase three of the event. Due to a lack of deeper lift & some lingering dry air aloft, a precip lull continues in locations west of a Monroe-Madison-Fond du Lac line. Anticipate that this lull will continue through mid-evening (~8 PM), prior to filling in as an upper wave & affiliated deformation zone move in during the mid-evening hours. Still anticipate the development of moderate to heavy snow along the deformation band, with enhanced rates continuing into the early morning hours Monday. Will continue to monitor observational & model trends through mid-evening and provide additional updates as necessary.

We've got some decent icing on trees/raised surfaces. Temp down to 31F now. Thinking the next batch of precip moving in from S/SW should be snow. Well ahead of schedule (per models).

That's what I was thinking however we did just jump to 33F here west of Madison. Reports of snow just to my NW.

Temp holding steady at 32F here. A light glaze on above ground surfaces and had some pea size hail earlier. Watching reports out to the west, waiting for switchover later this afternoon.

Just happy that it looks like that western ridge is finally going to break down/back the f off into the Pacific and give us some chances. I'll take that over the sh*t we've been dealing with.

All of the ensembles are pretty disheartening for any type of change away from the position of that western ridge - That look has been so f'ing persistent...

Doesn't look like we are going to shake this northwest flow (west ridge) any time soon

I see what you did there...
