Heavy snow with 1/2 mile visibility.  Getting nasty but wind is still North at just 14 MPH.  Waiting for the storm to emerge from the Rockies tonight then explode.  I will try and post as many picture

Yes. Right beside houses they can cover almost to the roof. I will take many pictures tomorrow and share them in the next few days. What is interesting is that I can see blades of grass in places in m

Here's a Facebook response from NWS LaCrose to an angry post. I think it's great.     Hi Jamie: at no time did any National Weather Service office predict 30" of snow. Unfortunately in the world of so

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.

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.

season snowfall: 34.8"

'22-23: 30.2"      '21-22: 27.1"      '20-21: 52.5"      '19-20: 36.2"      '18-19: 50.2"      '17-18: 39.5"

Average snowfall: ~30"

Same here!  I must say, this winter the temps have been marginal when moisture has arrived or to warm.  Bring me some powder!

Waiting till morning to tackle this mess, shoveling wise.

 

I always like to shovel away the slop asap.  If you wait til the next morning it will be frozen.

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!

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. Last check was 1/4 mile visibility

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.

2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha)

TOTAL: 10.2"

(12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") 

(1/1: 6.4")

Snow coming down VERY heavy in MSP. Glad the models missed it and we got a good snowfall so far. 5 inches and counting with 1/4 mile visibility where I am!

You might end up being the secondary winner near the Midwest/Lakes if that banding sets up just right.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      I'm rooting for a huge ridge to be sitting over alaska for most of our Denali climb, May 12th(weather permitting)-the end of the month/start of June. When I did my first Denali expedition back in the early 90s, we got horrible weather for almost the entire 3 week expedition, at one point temperatures were -39F with 80+MPH winds and heavy snow, and we never got a good day of weather to summit Denali, which is why I'm going back with the hope of being successful this time. I do NOT want to experience horrible weather like that again.

      There's some big supercells in SE Kansas moving right toward me and its very thick outside with a temp of 76. Really hope I just get the rain but I think it's going to come with some wind and hail.

      Polite Politics

      No, I am being serious. What has gotten into you? I have never taunted you. I have never been mean to you. You have always been polite so I respond in kind, even if I do not agree with some of your points. I genuinely found it funny you responded to my benign post thrice. So I am now befuddled. Because I pointed out that even though a lot of people might say they are sick of partisan politics, they still partake and fall for the common traps to get them to further the cycle, you say: - I love to taunt and that's all I do here - People like me make you want to leave - I piss in the punch bowl and come back for seconds I'm sorry, but that's total bullsh*t. I do not know your friends. I was not insinuating that your friends do that. I was pointing out the bigger picture. Does the fact that I speak my mind bother you? I don't mince words, and I do not take crap from rude, ignorant people. I have never found you to fall into that category, so what gives, Andie?

      April 24-29 Multi Day Central and Southern Plains Severe Weather Outbreak

      Getting a nice steady generous rain here after some thunderstorms rolled through earlier this afternoon… finally passed the 1 inch mark for storm total rainfall earlier. Looks like the heavy swath of convection to the south (in KS/ MO) might eat away at our heavy rain/ thunderstorm potential for tonight… however I am really enjoying this soaking rainfall right now without the destruction from yesterday’s storms.
