Tom Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 There is just too much warm air being pulled northward into S/C WI...I doubt there will be any decent snow accumulations in and around MKE and points south. A nice thump snow near GRB...Snowshoe prob seeing some pretty good snow fall rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 0.9 inches of very wet snow here. That was followed by a little sleet and then light rain, plus the trees dripped all over the place. It was like shoveling water. Nearly all our snowfall this winter has been very dense (sleetstorm) or wet and heavy. Most winters drop mostly cold, dry snow.

NEJeremy Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 The only upside to only getting 5-6" from a storm you watched for over a week straight and fully expected to get close to a foot if not more.... less snow to shovel. Thank God too. That had to be some of the heaviest, wettest snow I've ever shoveled. We've had snow before at 32-33 degrees that was nowhere near this wet. I bet the ratios were 8:1 at most. Shoveled absolute cement today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 No school for us tomorrow. That is now 2 days in a row. Rare for our school. I guess our superintendent was going out to check streets and roads and got stuck and had to walk the rest of the way to our administration building. He said this is nuts and said use tomorrow as a dig out day. In some places it will take several days. Wind blowing now as hard as anytime during this storm.

Stormgeek Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Snow coming down VERY heavy in MSP.

hlcater Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Well, ended up with slightly less than 2 inches, I'd say 1.8 probably. I melted it to 0.23 inches of liquid so, a very heavy, wet, snow fell. Then it rained 0.10 inches on top of that. Some Hi-res models suggest maybe another inch late tonight.
