  1. There was one ice storm I remember from the vaunted winter of 2013-'14 where I came out to leave for work one night (3AM start) and found my car completely encased in about 1/4" of solid ice. That was a fun nearly half hour of chipping and scraping. Still waiting to top that, now that I live at an apartment complex with indoor parking.
  2. Is it even possible to get a low-level hodo like that in a warm sector with CAPE? Where the wind goes from ENE at the surface to SW at 1KM? And those SRH numbers...
  3. Been waiting it out, gonna have to drive home to the west side from downtown (wife is in Meriter Hospital for the second time in two months) in about half an hour. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  4. Indeed. Although Winterset last year reminded me not to sleep on severe threats in early March at 40N, even with dewpoints barely touching the mid-50s.
  5. The ideal weenie result of all that would be a pattern with lots of baroclinic instability battling it out over the central CONUS with plenty of and . Now who exactly cashes in on each is the question.
  6. Can someone translate for those of us who don't fully understand MJO progression charts and what this one means for sensible wx in this region? TIA. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  7. 14 cars of vinyl chloride derailed, along with six more containing other potentially hazardous materials. Nasty for the residents of the immediate area, definitely needs close environmental monitoring of the air and water for them. You'll be fine in Maryland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Ohio_train_derailment
  8. Models took a dump on this as they usually do with any high-end looking severe or winter wx setup inside of 7-8 days, even if they were consistent/in agreement with it outside of that range. That said there will still be some severe weather Wednesday and Thursday, but no longer looking like anything exceptional.
  9. Surprising to me how down to the wire 2011-'12 was in terms of just sneaking into the below 20" list. It's the only one in my adult life that really stands out in my memory as an effectively snowless winter. Of course as we've seen, with so many events having sharp cutoffs in totals, even in a generally unproductive winter for the entire region, the perception of the season for someone in, say, Madison can be dramatically different compared to someone in Chicago.
  10. Followed by a kitchen sink winter storm, followed by a outbreak. Fun times indeed.
  11. Are you referring to @hardypalmguy? Why do you call him "cromartie"?
  12. Yeah...at the time I posted that Cassville was supposed to be right in the heart of the area that got the high-rate burst, but they ended up on the wrong side of the cutoff.
  13. Next time I go to my parent's house I'll have to dig up the tape (and a working VHS VCR to play it into my computer capture card), I know I have some home video from late February 2002 (I'd just turned 16 at the time) when it got up to around, perhaps over 60 degrees in southern Wisconsin. As I recall, we went into it with a solid snowpack on the ground, so in the video you can hear what sounds like a waterfall from all the rapidly melting snow as I zoom in on our garden thermometer.
  14. Semi wreck at the Beltline junction has traffic being diverted off NB I-39/90 at WIS-73N/US-51S (was County N earlier). https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0143.html
  15. Story of every weather setup in this region; winter precip or severe, for the last seven years or so.
  16. For us most of that is gonna be from tomorrow's paste job that'll melt in a few days.
  17. It was indeed (speaking as someone who lived about 1/3 mile from the path of the Stoughton F3 at the time). Not looking for it anytime soon but can't sleep on early season setups in this region anymore either (2/28/17, 3/5/22 and 3/15/16 come to mind).
  18. Apparently no one's noticed because all anyone cares about is snow, but there's a marginal risk almost up to I-80 in IL today and another one tomorrow for most of IN/OH/far eastern IL and far S Lower MI. 5% wind contour both days.
  19. This should be a decent camera to monitor during the height of the snowfall.
