8:01 a.m. | The snow will keep coming and coming. It started around Midnight last night and will continue to fall until a little past Midnight tonight. It could end up being 30 hours of non-stop snow. That is the primary reason why we'll end up with 10 to 14 inches. While the snow may be heavy for brief periods of time, it will generally be a light to moderate snow. Winds will pick up this afternoon to 15 to 25 mph from the northeast...and will be 15-30 mph tonight. This will lead to lowering visiblities and increased blowing and drifiting through the day and especially tonight. »Read Full Blog Post

3:37 a.m. | This snowstorm will be slightly unsual in that the snow won't fall heavily in a 6-8 hour period and then move on. We are in a long-duration snowstorm that probably won't end until sometime between 2 and 5 am tomorrow morning. It will be the long-duration of the snow that will lead to total accumulations of 10-14 inches. While the snow may fall at it heaviest this afternoon and evening, it won't fall real heavy at any point in time. Winds will increase this afternoon and continue to be strong tonight. This will lead to blowing and drifting which will cause poor visibility...as well as the need to plow roads and shovel sidewalks multiple times. »Read Full Blog Post
Feb. 08, 2010 9:34 p.m. | The winter storm warning continues tonight through 6 am Wednesday morning for all of our counties in southeast Wisconsin. The snow begins overnight with an inch possible before midnight and 2 – 3 more inches by morning. The heaviest snow falls during the day on Tuesday with another 5 to 7 inches. Total snowfalls will be in the 6 – 12 inch range inland and between 10 – 14 inches near the lake. The big snowfall totals are dependent upon lake effect kicking in during the day on Tuesday. If that does not occur, the snowfalls will be around 5 to 6 inches less, but it sure looks like this will occur. Strong northeast winds will blow the powder dry snow around making travel rather hazardous through Wednesday. Temperatures will be around 30 degrees on Tuesday dropping into the low-twenties on Wednesday. »Read Full Blog Post

Feb. 08, 2010 5:07 p.m. | The light snow from this morning and early afternoon has diminished and now we are waiting for the light snow to move in from northern Illinois by 10pm. After midnight, the heavier snow develops and there will be 2-4" on the ground for the morning commute. It snows all day on Tuesday and into Tuesday night with totals up to 10 to 14" of snow along the lakefront. The snow becomes light overnight, but the winds gust to 35mph out of the NE and there will be significant blowing and drifting into Wednesday afternoon, especially in the rural areas. »Read Full Blog Post

Feb. 08, 2010 10:58 a.m. | Two low pressure systems will merge together late tomorrow east of Milwaukee, but the strong NE winds that the system will generate, will create a heavy lake effect snow event for SE Wisconsin starting tonight and until late Tuesday night before the winds shift to the northwest and shut off the lake effect machine. »Read Full Blog Post

Feb. 08, 2010 6:17 a.m. | While we'll have a little light snow today, accumulation will be minor...a dusting to maybe a half inch. Much more substantial snow will begin falling tonight and will continue to fall through tomorrow night. Total accumulation from tonight through tomorrow night is expected to be between 10 and 14 inches. It will also get windy tomorrow and tomorrow night. This will lead to poor visibility at times, as well as blowing and driting of the snow. The snow probably won't fall real heavily at any point in time, but the wind will likely make it seem like it's falling heavier than it is. »Read Full Blog Post
Feb. 07, 2010 6:18 p.m. | We've avoided significant snowfall for almost a month, but it looks like that will be changing in the next couple of days. The energy from two surface low pressures will combine across the middle of the nation and begin dragging a significant amount of moisture to the North. Snow is likely to begin as early as Monday evening, with the steadiest, heaviest snow coming late Monday night through the day on Tuesday. This storm will be a prolonged event which means the accumulation, while expected to be significant, will occur over at least 24 hours. Blustery, bitter winds will accompany the snow, and as is typical, a strong arctic blast will follow the snow. »Read Full Blog Post
Feb. 06, 2010 6:10 p.m. | Departing high pressure will continue to produce Easterly winds and the possibility of a few lake effect flurries or snow showers, though anything falling should be of little consequence. An approaching weak disturbance will help maintain the cloudiness around here on Sunday, too. That will combine with some more significant energy to help develop a storm system which will tap some moisture from the South and give us a chance of accumulating snow starting Monday night through Tuesday night. That should be followed by a quiet and bright finish to the work week. »Read Full Blog Post
Clouds will stick around Friday night and most of the weekend as winds continue off Lake Michigan and we stay at the back end of the big eastern snow storm. A few flurry bands will be around Friday night with no accumulation and temperatures will be rather mild in the upper-twenties. Lake effect snow should develop on Saturday with occasional light snow, especially near the lake. We could accumulate an inch by late evening and another inch or less Saturday night. Mostly cloudy skies and high temperatures in the upper-twenties occur on Sunday. The next threat for snow arrives by Monday night and runs through Tuesday, where more moderate amounts are possible. »Read Full Blog Post

Feb. 05, 2010 4:45 a.m. | There is a chance of light snow or flurries today. If it occurs, accumulations will be under an inch. The threat of snow showers and flurries will continue from tonight through tomorrow and into tomorrow night. That threat will be especially, but not only, near Lake Michigan. If a few of the snow showers remain stationary over one particular location for an extended period of time, it's possible that location could pick up a couple inches of accumulation. As of now, that doesn't appear likely, but it is something we'll need to watch closely as the situation evolves. »Read Full Blog Post
Feb. 04, 2010 10:23 p.m. | We have snow in the forecast beginning late tonight and ending on Sunday morning. Sounds like alot of snow but there is little moisture available so expect about an inch on Friday, and inch on Friday night and another inch on Saturday. Temperatures will start out mild with high temperatures in the low-thirties on Friday and dropping back into the upper-twenties by Saturday. The big storm misses us to the south and east where big snowfalls are possible in Virginia with ice in Tennessee and Kentucky. »Read Full Blog Post

Feb. 04, 2010 10:15 a.m. | The clouds, patchy fog and dampness have returned to Milwaukee today with light winds and highs near freezing. These clouds are from a huge storm system to our south that will once again miss Milwaukee with a direct hit, but we will bring SE Wisconsin a slight chance of light snow late tonight and light snow is likely on Friday. About an inch of accumulation is expected for Milwaukee by Friday afternoon and winds will increase to 10-15mph off the lake. »Read Full Blog Post

Feb. 04, 2010 4:43 a.m. | Nice sunshine broke out yesterday afternoon as the clouds from early in the day cleared. I'm sorry to report that we won't be that lucky today. In fact, the cloud trend will be going the other way. That is, clouds will be thickening through the day today. Eventually, the clouds will bring a good chance of snow tomorrow. Current indications are that amounts will be quite light...around an inch or less. »Read Full Blog Post
Feb. 03, 2010 10:25 p.m. | Variable cloud cover overnight will drop temperatures into the single digits in some locations where there is clearing and keep others in the teens where there is cloud cover. By morning we should see mostly cloudy skies and then expect more of the same through Thursday. There could be a few peeks of sunshine during the day. Temperatures will get back into the low- thirties both Thursday and Friday. A little light snow develops on Thursday night and continues into Friday. There isn't much moisture available but we could see an inch of new snow by Friday afternoon. »Read Full Blog Post

Feb. 03, 2010 4:33 a.m. | A couple of quiet days are ahead in the wake of yesterday's couple inches of snow. Skies will be mostly cloudy today and tomorrow with the best chance of a little sun poking through this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Our next threat of snow comes on Friday. At this time, it appears that if we do get snow, it won't be heavy. »Read Full Blog Post
Feb. 02, 2010 9:45 p.m. | The seasonal temperatures continue overnight and through the week with high temperatures in the thirties through Friday. The light snow and flurries end by midnight tonight and then just partly to mostly cloudy skies late tonight and on Wednesday. The next chance for precipitation moves in late Wednesday night and is only a small threat. We could see some light freezing drizzle during that time period and it could linger into Thursday. A little light snow is possible on Friday, but no major storms are in sight. »Read Full Blog Post
