frostfern Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Nice virga storm overhead. Some 20-25 dbz zones aloft. It's funny when 20-25 dbz returns are overhead with a lake effect band it might be pouring down snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Temps have been torching at Milwaukee (I know, lol). 34F for the past few hours, when the graphical forecast had projected 31F at midnight. This is among the reasons I'm not buying the snowy models. I may have to decrease the snow projection even further into the 1-3" range if things start looking bleaker.

Dewpoints are much lower on this side of the lake. I think once the wind shifts more easterly the temperature will drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's me but I wouldn't obsess over temps at this point. Wetbulb/dynamic cooling should take care of that and force the temp down toward freezing by late morning/early afternoon or earlier I'd think.

LizardMafia Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Warm one in LAF, overachieving and up to 47. Yes, it's actually quite a nice day here.. Wonder how Tim is handling it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yes, it's actually quite a nice day here.. Wonder how Tim is handling it.. He's already given up on winter so I'd guess not too bad. Might have a shot at 50 on Sunday especially if the rain holds off. Could sneak one in today too before clouds increase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Had a bizarre 7 degree intrahour low last night. The temp was 23 for both the 9 and 10 pm observations but we hit a low of 16 in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hit 36 just after midnight. Temps held just above freezing all day with light to moderate rain. Pretty miserable day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Got up to 67 degrees today here today! It felt great to wear shorts and a t-shirt while walking the dog. But, I'll admit that I'm ready to see what next week brings. Possible Valentines Day snowstorm around here, been on the models for a week now.

cyclone77 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Rainfall total ended up at 0.68". The small amount of wet snow that accumulated in the gauge melted and brought the total up to 0.71" for the day. So 0.71" precip/0.3" snow here today. Still a few patches of wet snow out there on grassy surfaces, but most of it has already melted. LOTS of standing water around from all the rain combined with frozen soil. Many of the farm fields had lakes of standing water in them when I was driving home from work late this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 0.10" of freezing rain this morning - the only thing really liquid about the day. A trace of sleet and about 10" of snow so far today. At least 1.10" of water today total. High of 33° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Got down to 25 here this morning. DVN officially with a T of snow yesterday, so they stay at 9.0". Dubuque picked up 0.6", which bumps them up to 29.8" lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 MSN picked up 5" from the storm, not bad at all. 43.8" so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 MSN picked up 5" from the storm, not bad at all. 43.8" so far this season. The nearly 35" gradient from the Quad Cities to Madison is impressive. Hopefully a major storm in the next couple weeks hits cities like DVN, LAF, Chitown, et al.

Is there anything that looks like it might be something in the offing out there? ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 looks like temps will under perform with the crust pack in place...not sure if sundays rains will be able to wash it all away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 So, the models show some activity... most of it occurring as rain, from the looks of it. Also showing some cold temps in there as well. Nothing to write home about, as it were. Obviously things will change, but somehow.... meh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Lots of nice skating rinks over many farm fields today. Sort of weird to see so many lakes of ice with no snow anywhere around it. Coming home on 88 I saw several vehicles with lots of snow on their roofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming home on 88 I saw several vehicles with lots of snow on their roofs. Probably came from my area! --- I'll post the rest of my noteworthy pics here: This was at the end of the day, so no real melting on the trees. Shoveled driveway - done! ~5 hours to do, including yesterday. Shoveling wasn't quite done at this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
