  1. Visibility way down, can barely see the trees on the hill across the street. @madwx @Luftfeuchtigkeit
  2. My commute home should be "interesting..." Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
  3. Shades of 2013-'14. My first winter back here after 3 years in Milwaukee (and first in Madison proper since childhood). With having a job that starts at 3 AM, having to brush/scrape snow or a least a thin layer of frost off all the windows of my car in single digits or colder every morning for like 9 weeks straight got real old. Garbage/recycling started to pile up because the trucks couldn't get to the Dumpsters at the back of the lot.
  4. If it has to be cold...better than cold and boring!
  5. In other words, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
  6. So strange. I went to UWGB and it was invariably snowier there than at home (Stoughton/Madison) except for 2007-08, my senior year, when we had some big storms over both areas (although GB area was less affected by the early Jan torch, so held on to its snowcover better).
  7. Wow, this is starting to look big time (although unfortunately, not for SE MI...again). I doubt it can actually produce >6" of snow over the vast majority of WI, but just seeing it on a map is impressive. Little different than a rainy cutter, eh?
  8. I think it was early January 2019, we had an Arctic outbreak where it was in the single digits either side of zero with bare ground. Puke.
  9. Because guys are dumb. Although have seen women wearing skirts/dresses outside while it's in the single digits, but it's less common and they're usually (a) not outside for very long and (b) heavily bundled up top.
  10. Something something sun angle yadda yadda.
  11. We here over to Chicago probably have considerably more OTG.
  12. It's also the 10th anniversary of the beginnings of GHD I. A short video I took from where I was living in Milwaukee at the time, notice how the cars are mostly clean due to the wind:
  13. Encouraging to see some active severe weather seasons on those analogs, although not necessarily stellar from a Plains chaser perspective (apart from 1999 and 2008). 2017 wasn't ideal but not the worst of the lackluster half-decade plus that we've been in (tie between 2018 and 2020 IMO).
  14. So it sounds like we needed a happy medium -NAO to get the last storm and this weekend's storm to stay stronger longer, without cutting too far west like this third storm is expected to?
  15. This is the level of cold I can do without and at times don't really understand the enthusiasm for from some on here, but if it only lasts a few days I can take it.
  16. FWIW, GFS (Pivotal) has most of WI getting 15" - 20" through 240 hours (depending on whether you use 10:1 or Kuchera). Euro only has 10:1 on the free version but it has 8"-9" with the exception of an inexplicable N-S screw zone from about Marengo, IL to Lake Winnebago. I think it's safe to say that, all-important details aside, the zzzzzzzzzz pattern is over for most of us.
  17. I'll take a last 3/28 do-over without the early crudvection...and without the "Safer at Home" order issued like 3 days earlier.
  18. I remember the thread for those. Also wasn't what he described basically all of Jan-Feb 2014?
  19. I always thought of northern Alabama as part of the Tennessee Valley region, is the Birmingham area too far south? As @jaxjagman pointed out, the Southeastern States forum tends to be dominated by Carolinas and perhaps Florida/coastal GA discussion. The heart of Dixie Alley seems to kind of get glossed over on this board apart from the huge events like 4/27/11.
