At home I have over a foot of snow OTG. Here at college it's more like 4". Areas up to my north like Marinette have even less. This next storm could really add to our pack here though at least according to some models. I could be at 8-9" before the cold wave and home could have at least 16". So strange. I went to UWGB and it was invariably snowier there than at home (Stoughton/Madison) except for 2007-08, my senior year, when we had some big storms over both areas (although GB area was less affected by the early Jan torch, so held on to its snowcover better).

It's been a function of the storm track more than anything. Green Bay has just been too far north for most of the year for storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Extremely thick shallow/ground fog the past few hours. Visibility is about as low as I've ever seen it at ground level, yet you can look up and see the stars. About 11" of glacier in place, with 2-4" refresher on the way Thu in time for the arctic intrusion. Should help to make the most of the cold air masses en route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 If you combine the snow totals since about Jan 21-- it looks like one huge 10" storm tracked across the country, after dropping off 2-4 ft at the Sierra Nevada and also dropping heavy snow at Arizona's Mogollon Rim and southwest Colorado. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 This crappy cell pic out the back window doesn't do it justice on how awesome it looked this morning. Very heavy rime icing after that very dense ground fog overnight. Really made for an enchanting drive into work this am lol. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertSul Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Stole this from the New England thread, but it’s interesting to see Des Moines ahead of Rochester, NY in snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Now this is a sight you don't see everyday. 90% of Wisconsin has at least 6 inches of snow on the ground. Just wow. Ofc im in the one of the few areas with barely 6" on the ground cause why wouldnt I be? But man this just such an insane map. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Had snowcover since December 29th. Longest straight period of seeing no grass that I can remember in quite a while. Seems like recent winters I have always been able to sneak in a January or February round of golf on a 50 degree day, but it will take quite a while for this growing glacier to melt down. Definitely going to have some hydro concerns when we get our first big rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the lengthy streak is pretty impressive, with no end in sight. Got down to -4 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartman Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Got down to 10 this morning, the coldest temperature of the season yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Yesterday I bundled up and took a walk in the park and downtown Wyandotte. we all love being out in a storm, but on a zzz weather day, rather than sitting inside and looking at long range models I highly recommend going outside. The coming cold is dangerous, but we know how to layer. Embrace winter! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Still a bit frosty out there as we near 11am, still -7. Looks like a little duster later this evening, perhaps a half inch. Another one late tomorrow/tomorrow evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Warming up nicely in Minneapolis under mostly sunny skies, -8 at 11:45am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Yesterday's snow is sticking around well on untreated/uncleaned paved surfaces even with the sun beating down. February sun angle can only work so much when it is barely above 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 A perfect day to cross country ski. Prime mid winter conditions. I'd say about 2 feet of snow depth. 4 foot pole. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 This may be a flooding problem at some point down the road. Especially if there's a hard cutter or otherwise rapid warm up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headwaters for the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
