It's really pouring out there now even under weaker returns. Should really rip in the next half hour. Like Hawkeye said, there's been periods of great snowfall but the whole event is lacking duration for some really good amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm riding 4" as my predicted snow total, originally went with 2-4", but 4" was what I told friends and family who asked last night. Maybe more like 4.5" at the airport since they did a bit better with the initial wave early this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
