As this trough exits to the SE it will back up moisture against the olympics, and you have no upper level winds to kill the precip. 2-6 for you tonight.

It really sucks to see what climate change is doing to the Midwest. By the 2070s, Wisconsin's climate is expected to resemble Arkansas.

Looking a bit ominous to my southwest

I dont believe it, the same Kind of people 30 years ago said our mountains wouldn't be getting snow below 3k feet by 2030. Climate is adjusting But i 100% believe earth and nature will figure out what to do.

It was a mega Nino. Minnesota's climate resembled historical Minnesota as recently as last winter. And was colder than normal the winter before that.

I knew you would reply with some post like this which has nothing to do with my comment. 

Do you disagree with the climate model projection that the climate of Wisconsin in the 2070s will resemble the climate of Arkansas in the early 21st century? 

 

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Also snowing in ocean shores

The context of your comment about "what climate change is doing to the Midwest" were the posts about Minnesota's very warm and relatively snowless winter.

It was absolutely relevant to that discussion to point out that what MN has seen this winter (mega Nino) has been a far cry from other winters recently.

Here is how the ECMWF shows the precip evolving overnight.

And those recent below normal winters were Nina's and were not all-time record cold.... Are you seriously trying to argue the climate isn't warming? From what I've seen this has been an all-time record warm winter across at least Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Well hopefully the snow falling out on the coast bodes well for us later. It’s just been either too warm or too little precipitation to work with the past few days IMBY. Tonight seems like our last chance to string something together.
