josh_4184 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Looking Good Bo, you have a good chance at 10-12" n the higher elevation. I may squeeze 1-2 inches out of this on the backside. Next week is looking better for the LES areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Definitely different than last year. That looks good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I picked up only 0.24" of rain yesterday as we ended up in between some of the better showers. This stretch of days with thick clouds is really getting old. I have a bunch of sun-loving plants in the window and they are not happy at all.

buckeye Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 today was actually suppose to be a fairly decent day other than some spotty early morning showers. It's hasn't stopped raining since morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The light rain of last night and today totaled 0.29" imby but 0.43" at DTW. It was one month ago today that our week-long stretch of November snowcover began. My how time flies when its BORING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Managed only 0.07" of rain with the departing system. Wind finally cleared out the fog, but the darn clouds are still around. Pattern definitely needs to go! Hopefully tomorrow is partly sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 snow coming in from the east off of Superior fairly heavy tonight. some blowing and drifting as well, but a little too wooded here for that to be a huge concern. temp has settled at 24 for several hours.

cyclone77 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Pretty cold today compared to late, but the sun finally came out around noon. Was very nice to see that again. Also had a few rounds of flurries before the clearing earlier this morning, and those were the first flakes of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Flurries flying around most of the day today, a biting wind, and of course very gray. Winters nip tells us that the long touted torch is OVER. It ended up being a 4-day affair here, with highs of 45F, 53F, 50F, 47F, each of those 12-15 degrees BELOW the record high for the day. In other words...just a run of the mill mild spell not close to the inferno portrayed on many models in their longterms (Im sure upgrades havent helped). Actually, the longterm avg for December is 3 days AOA 50F (2014 has had 2) and 5 days AOA 45F (2014 has had 4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the longterm avg for December is 3 days AOA 50F (2014 has had 2) and 5 days AOA 45F (2014 has had 4). We had the same conditions here. It actually felt like mid winter today. As far as the bolded, I can't even begin to understand the workings of the models, but if that's true, then why update? I know that models are updated to improve flaws, but if it makes other aspects of the resulting forecast worse, is it still a better model? Probably a question for a separate thread. I'm sure that it has been discussed ad nasueam in a general thread somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Saw the sun for about 15 minutes today - was wonderful while it lasted. Mostly clear skies right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Man talk about a busted forecast. Just enough ascent within the saturated boundary layer to produce freezing drizzle around the Milwaukee area. Upper level disturbance passing to our south probably is helping but with high pressure overhead I thought low clouds would be the only issue. Sounds like roads are in very bad shape around here.

cyclone77 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Seeing the large snow shield advance northward out of Missouri and crap the bed (as predicted) has sure been depressing. Luckily there's more storm potential on the horizon to help wipe away the tears lol. Solid overcast and 23. Made it down to 14 this morning.

wisconsinwx Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah the freezing drizzle/light rain has not been good for road conditions. I didn't have much difficulty heading to work luckily (but I knew what I was getting into). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
