Jan 10th/11th Disturbance - Is that snow or middle fingers falling from the sky?

[james1976]

Changed to snowballs bout 40mins ago. Starting to stick.

[St Paul Storm]

view of the backyard overlooking the lake. Visibility taking a beating with the heavier bands. Currently 1mi. 3.5" down so far. Wind is picking up too. Blowing and drifting gonna be a concern later.

What a waste down here...little bit of ice this week then some rain...glad I'm headed north for some sledding in Feb

Looking good out by you!

Had a meeting all morning, to my delight this was my view on the way out!  Half dollar flakes falling straight down and sticking to everything. Drifting shouldn't be an issue unless the snow dries out this afternoon. Snowmobile trails open at 3pm woo hoo!

0.29" of rain here.

[jaster220]

Better than nothin.....

 

Yes, ofc and much better than 2" of LES fluff. Funny thing with GRR. They issued this map in the morning and it looks to have been "spot on" for mby, but then issue headlines calling for a fraction of these amounts which busted hard. IWX was and is so much better for here tbh and I take their assessments much more seriously.

 

 

[jaster220]

Around 5.25" total

You must of gotten some pretty darn good rates...

 

Highest I've seen in GRR's CWA was 6.5" towards the north end of the CWA around US10. You're basically "up north" at that point though.

[gosaints]

Picked up about 3 inches here along with some slop..  

[East Dubzz]

Roads were a tad icy this morning, caught me off guard a little at first.

[Money]

Picked up 4 inches of snow overnight and it's been raining all day

 

A lot of slop now and things are already refreezing. Roads are gonna be bad later on tonight

[gosaints]

Roads are terrible here as well. Very windy

[St Paul Storm]

Already down to 16F after the snow stopped. Finished with about 3.5" to 4". Looking like another 1-3" tomorrow morning.

[Tom]

It's a balmy 51F with a wind driven rain.  LOT upgraded to a High Wind Warning through 10:00pm tonight with gusts up to 60mph.  This storm is def deepening and strengthening.

[Snowshoe]

Darn meetings screwing up my snowy workday.

 

Was upgraded to a warning and hour and a half ago! This storm sure surprised me. Was going to be happy with 3.

 

.UPDATE...
Issued at 152 PM CST Tue Jan 10 2017

Had to expand the warning into Vilas, Wood, and Portage due to
recent reports and continued heavy snowfall.

Man, it felt so good using my snowblower again and clearing out the driveway, sidewalk and heck, I even cleared out my neighbors sidewalks also. Tbh..... , I sometimes over do it with clearing out the area (I really enjoy using my snowblower machine..it rocks). My wife tells me, you might as well, clear out the street too. :lol:

Good stuff! Ironically my wife just said 'You sure were out there a long time for only snowblowing 4".'

 

Yep, I sure was!

Interesting that Wausau set a snowfall record 9.8" and 100 miles down the road Green Bay set a daily rainfall record .72"

 

Wind is blowing hard. 30-50 mph gusts

[St Paul Storm]

Another morning commute disaster in the twin cities....3rd one this week. Already an inch of snow down with 2-4" expected. May see 3/4" per hour rates with the heavy bands setting up over the metro.
