Jan snowfall,and sorta of a forecast....

Snowfall for Jan 09..
There was 12 days of snowfall of .25 or greater..Total snowfall for Jan was 17.75 inches....This brings the snowfall for the winter up to 58.50 inches of snow so far this winter...This does not include the .25 I picked up Monday night...
So as of right now we are way above ave for the winters snowfall.....58.50" - 48" = 10.75"...So 10.75 inches above norms....
Temps were way below ave despite the warm temps we had the last weekend on Jan....Also despite the warmer air we had the snow pack up here really didn't take to big of hit...The main melting was off of the roads and roofs....We might have lost .25 maybe .50 if we were lucky..So plenty of snow pack on the ground for all the snow lovers to enjoy...

A few storm systems we will have to watch next week....
(Will only talk about for early next week...As I have to get ready for work also)


Next week looks to be a very active week around the FA...Models have one hard time in agreeing to what is going to take place..Though somewhat better this morning...Still a lot of questions that need to be worked out...Could every well be a rain event for the area with very little snow fall from this storm system..Also could see some thunderstorms over Southern WI and yes we may hear a rumble or tow of thunder this far North,all depends on the track of the low pressure and how deep it does get...GFS keeps the low weaker around 1001 or so while the ECMWF keep the low around 982 or so...Will be a system we will have to watch through out the next few days...
The system for this weekend I didn't talk about, as it is like a fart in a wind storm....Nothing much to talk about...Just some light mixed precip as a cold front will halt the warming trend for a time......Temps this coming weekend would appear to be just as warm as last weekend....Winds shall be more Southerly this may hold temps down more so as snow pack reaches more South...If winds could remain Southwesterly then temps for sure would meet or surpass last weekend's temps....More details on all of this in Friday's morning forecast....
