Moneyman Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 My sister was driving north toward Milwaukee earlier and said there were several vehicles off the road. I think there was some freezing rain and sleet there, so the roads were probably bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Underground shows a 40% chance of hail with that storm cell just west of Metro airport... it'll be interesting to see if you get any hail out of it.

wisconsinwx Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Towards BowMe's area 0600 PM SNOW MILWAUKEE INTERNATIONAL 42.94N 87.90W 02/20/2011 M1.7 INCH MILWAUKEE WI OFFICIAL NWS OBS STORM TOTAL FOR TODAY AS OF 6 PM CST That figure doesn't surprise me. About 10 to 12 miles north, north of I-94, I would guess there is 4 to 5 inches on the ground. Also seems to be a decent layer of ice on our power lines.

Powerball Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Stevo you were probably on the north edge I bet. I had two quick flashes and they were bright. It partially lit up the tower. I think Stevo got in on a seperate area of +TSSN. Otherwise me, stebo and kab would have heard/seen the lightning/thunder too. It's still early in the event, so everyone should see thundersnow (or thundersomething) at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrys Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 13" reported in Bloomington. They stayed in some heavier echoes during the early afternoon while some other areas had a bit of a lull. I'm at 9-11" though it's hard to say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormJr Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi Jon. I didn't know you posted here. I think you know who this is. 31.4 degrees with freezing drizzle here. Ugh. Hey Mark! I didn't until about a week ago when someone at work pointed me to a thread about the NCEP model images changing location for the weather animator. Reading these threads over the past several days has been amazing. It fulfills my meteorological need for discussions of winter storms because my wife just doesn't understand.

SpartyOn Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Couldnt wait to get on here...had a family dinner.. Saw Thundersnow around 6:40 ish pm. It was awesome!!!! Sitting at the table with my father and the windows lit up..We both jumped out of our seats and raced to the door..opened the door and heard the bang..It was followed by another flash and yet another bang..We both high fived eachother...Now I know where I got my interest in weather. My father! He was more giddy about the TSSN than me. My wife and mother laughed and couldnt figure out why him and I where so interested... Great Storm so far. About 7 inches on the ground..upstream returns are blahh..but hey the TSSN made the night!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those storms where the intensity of the snow makes it AWESOME regardless of total snowfall, though that obviously has already busted well on the good side!

Torontonian Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 It's coming down good now. I'd say visibility is under a mile. Yup, definitely coming down here, downtown, pretty moderately. Maybe 3-5 will be right. It is about 3hrs. ahead of what i was thinking. Falling nicely, not too wind driven here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern_IN_Wx Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hey Mark! I didn't until about a week ago when someone at work pointed me to a thread about the NCEP model images changing location for the weather animator. Reading these threads over the past several days has been amazing. It fulfills my meteorological need for discussions of winter storms because my wife just doesn't understand. No doubt. I check in every now and again during the winter. It is nice to know that there are more winter weather enthusiasts (nutjobs may be another word you could use ) out there.

turtlehurricane Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The final wave of slop fest 11' is about to hit right before the cold front. It's a sleet/zr mix now, but might become heavy sleet or snow right at the front if we can get under a good cell. I love convective wintry precip, would love to see it twice in a day.

on_wx Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Up to 1.9" since 730pm. The intense granular snows have changed over to large light flakes in the last fifteen minutes. Looking at WSO radar, the band of intense dbz has shifted north of here. It now extends from northern Huron County southeast to Halton Region. Looks like 2-3" will be my final total. Original forecast 6-8" this morning, revised to 2-4" this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Up to 7.5" here. Light to moderate snow with pingers occasionally mixing in. Great storm so far. Hoping to bang out 3-4 more inches by morning. Excellent pics everyone. Snow is heavy as sh*t and a pain to move! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
