Geos Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 34/33 had a couple sleet rocks mixed in an hour ago. Not quite as exciting as ripping flakes! Noticing snow on the ground across Lake Mendota. Waunakee and De Forest areas. NAM now takes the low down towards Kokomo and Ft. Wayne, IN. Before the 2nd deformation band gets going.

jaster220 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yeah something like that. The EURO really gets the second deformation band going tomorrow at this time. Showing snow here by 4pm. If the EURO continues to run too warm it may be earlier for both of us and maybe you could get some snow too. Haha. You forgot where KRMY is. I don't think even the Euro shows more than a flake or two for mby, but no-foul since I don't really want any more of the SN. When it flashed 2 feet the other day, that I was interested in but not nuisance dustings. We capped off our season with back-to-back legit WSWarned events here in SCMI, so zero complaints from me wrt seeing decent snowfall this month. Enjoy what you get over there, hope it rocks for y'all.

Money Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yeah, not sure about here yet tho. Do like the fact that there's snow on the ground now and we don't have to worry about ground/surface temps cooling and cutting down on accumulation. Whoever is just north of the sleet/fzr line is going to get pounded. Might be up towards Appleton/Oshkosh more though than on the north side of Fondy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
