accumulating here on all surfaces

GFS Kuchera snow totals. 17.2". GFS positive snow depth change. 5.5". I'll let you guess which one is going to be closer to correct

Still rain here for now. Hoping it stays rain as long as possible to cut down on accumulation

Straight up not having a good time

Idk about much AA but wait till the beginning of April, things will start flipping back to average and then slightly above average

Got an inch or maybe 2 on the grass. A few roads are slushy. Looks like the snow is sliding south of us now

I'm going to be straight up not having a good time tomorrow

didn't realize how dry the air was currently but dewpoint has been hanging between 2-5 degrees F this afternoon

things look to turn mild once we get into April. Maybe a few cool days at the beginning of the month but should turn nice after that

0.30” here. Not a bad start to the month. Hoping the upcoming weeks will get us a couple more inches

new daily record of at least 72 here today.

Monday trending wetter with a wave moving up the front

2nd warmest Feb on record in Madison, missing the top spot by 0.2 degrees. 2nd warmest winter on record in Madison, 1.5 from 1877/78 but 0.7 degrees clear of 2001/02. Winter snowfall was 30.2" (-8.2" below average).

the 6z NAM predicts we'll be at 37 degrees at 3 PM today. Who wants to guess how much forecast error there will be?

Be the change you want to see in the world

week 3 will be the where the greatest chance of below normal temps will occur. Of course by then averages are steeply increasing so it remains to be seen what the cold actually is

officially broke the all time Feb and Winter record high temp with 69 here at 1 PM. Already broken the daily record by 11 degrees.

it would actually decrease capping but higher bases decreases the odds of tornadoes.

the front is trending ever so slower, this will be crucial if we want to set a record warm low today. We ended up tagging 67 yesterday. beat the old daily record by 6 degrees

The HRRR is pretty wild with the cold air. Assuming it’s overdone but only has us around 12 at noon on Wednesday

smashed the old daily record. up to at least 66.

a little Madison record watch post. Today's record high of 61 will almost certainly be broken. Tomorrow's record high of 58 will definitely be broken. the record warm low of 38 tomorrow is also at risk. tomorrows temp will also make a run at the Feb overall record of 68 set back in 2017. (68 is also the winter record temp, set both in Feb 2017 and Dec 2021.) We should easily slot into the 2nd warmest winter on record - behind 1877/78. February will slot somewhere in the top 3 warmest, really depends on how the daily numbers go the next couple days to see where exactly it will fit.

a couple tenths of snow here. after sunset it accumulated on the roads and combined with the freezing of standing water has made things slick out there

Had a lake breeze roll through eastern Wisconsin this afternoon. Just an average April February 19th.

About an inch of pure slush. Hope it can melt today so I don’t have to shovel
