Some of better snows come in March due to warmer temps, more moisture return from south, unfortunately we never get em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaints. I only wish every March was like this. As I had said the midwest/lakes region in general has not had a snowy march in years. Usually February is the month that obliterates climo. Hopefully in '23-24 it's December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Appleton zone forecast from this morning. To be fair, they were under a WWA at that point for 3-6", but doesn't show up explicitly in the zone text. Regardless, that area has seen 12"+ so far, and it's still S+ there right now. Would love to see a positive bust like that for once. INCLUDING THE CITY OF APPLETON 245 AM CDT SAT MAR 25 2023 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM CDT THIS AFTERNOON... EARLY THIS MORNING MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES NEAR 30. NORTHEAST WIND 10 TO 15 MPH. TODAY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 30S.

SolidIcewx Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I wonder what the ratios were. Hard to believe 20 inches fell without all that compaction that happens. One impressive storm none the less. The core is going over me now and kinda crazy the wind gusts came on fast in a matter of 20 mins or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Just insane snow amounts all over the state today. This is going to be one of if not the most widespread 12"+ snowfalls in this state since 12/20/12. This is also now in the top 10 for daily snowfalls in Madison's history, with snow still falling. Today's storm is going to go down as one of the biggest overperformers in the Midwest at least in the last 15 years, if not since 2000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Didn't really think about it until now, but today (and yesterday) is the 10 year anniversary of this beauty. Springfield IL broke their all-time record biggest snowfall with 18.5". Had close to a foot in the LAF. A couple of not 100% accurate maps below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how many tree limbs are down, I'll always take wet snow over rain lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Wow that late March sun is flexxin. Most of the snow is already toast here, and it didn't fully clear off until a few hours ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 DET just popped a 60 MPH gust, after a couple observations with 50+ MPH gusts... EDIT: DTW apparently gusted to 67 MPH earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad the tree company Davy trimmed the power lines in my area that was planned for maintenance. The winds were blowing my suv around like a tin can 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was telling my mom "hmmm, winds so far aren't so bad" at 1pm yesterday. But little did I know...: Thankfully, the fact that the leaf out hasn't commenced yet and it was well above freezing kept the extent of power outages at bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 So final totals ended up being 12.1" at Madison and 10" even at Green Bay. GRB just barely missed out on the max snowband, as there were several 12-15" reports all across the metro. I estimate we recieved about 15" here total at my campus. Today it is sunny and in the low 40's out. The snowpack is melting incredibly quickly. Or rather evaporating because there really isn't that much melt water out. Kind of what happens when you have the sun angle equivalent of September 16th. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing we need is more power outages lol. And you were right, it was 67 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
