    this system is really conflicting with my mental model of what a snow or ice storm would look like for this region. Not to say it won't happen but it just seems strange to have a 1018 mb low with nothing impressive upstairs dump so much precip

    Tiny flakes here. Like drizzle hitting your face. No accumulations yet

    sounds very similar to the snow i experienced last saturday night. barely even visible

    HRRR has made significant strides south overnight. May be tough for us to get an 1” here now

    you can feel the cold just settling into the house at this point. Also roads are becoming worse every day, the tiny bit of melting from the sun and cars driving over the packed snow has slowly turned it into ice. The warmup later this weekend will be much appreciated

    definitely not as cold as areas in E Iowa and N Illinois. Made it to 1 at the house yesterday and 3 today.

    only down to -9 and -10 the past two nights. cloud cover and strong mixing have kept us from fully tanking. wouldn't surprise me if Saturday morning is the coldest of this entire stretch

    excited for the pattern change next weekend, should reset the pattern and get us out of the deep cold

    Lake effect clouds streaming eastward off the Madison lakes this morning

    Just took my first drive outside the neighborhood after the storm and besides highways the roads are 90-100% covered in snow and ice. With the cold air it should be staying like that for the next week

    we're having some very minor accumulation tonight, the flakes are so tiny you can't even see them in the streetlight or really in person but you can feel them coming down. Definitely a bit surreal

    looking good for around an 1" tonight, like it's been said above will be very high ratio

    Didn’t really accumulate anything after 8 PM last night so ended between 10 and 11”. Major drifting though. Had to clear my driveway again and relatives in rural areas have 3 foot drifts and will need a bobcat to clear the snow out
  14. madwx
    Very light snow the past two hours. Barely any accumulation. Lots of drifting though
  15. madwx
    Between 10-11 but impossible to accurately measure at this point. Drifting is getting impressive. Even some bare spots in my yard. snow is winding down. About .25” an hour now. Could get a few patches of enhanced snow over the next couple hours but overall shouldn’t get more than 2”

    around 9". drifts are impressive, it's all fractured dendrites now. wind is steady but will really pick up from the NNW after sunset

    a hair under 8" here now, still stacking efficiently. you can tell it's popped up to 33 degrees as the edge of the snow on my patio is melting but that's not slowing accumulations down at all

    https://ec.gc.ca/meteoaloeil-skywatchers/default.asp?lang=En&n=9DF2117C-1&wbdisable=true This is correct, the real old heads in here will remember the debates about the Nipher snow gauges and how they would lowball the snow totals

    6.5" now, wind causing major drifts. during the transient subsidence bands flake size gets tiny but were still stacking
  20. madwx
    4.8" now but things are really starting to drift so this is my last attempt at a precise measurement
  21. madwx
    3.7” out there so far. Heavy rates but flake size is definitely impacted by the wind and lack of deep DGZ
  22. madwx
    subsidence got filled in quickly and it's ripping out there, winds have been picking up from the north as well
  23. madwx
    hoping that band over Janesville can shift nw just enough to help us jackpot this one, will be a close call
  24. madwx
    gonna be a tightrope to get all my driveway/sidewalk clearing done before conditions become completely awful outside
  25. madwx
    stared in horror at the dry slot when I woke up but we only got down to flurries here and already picking back up. 2.3" with the early morning WAA. the main TROWAL feature should start impacting us shortly.
