At obs. time, my thermometer reads 28 degrees, with today's high forecast for 36+ degrees -- the first above-freezing temp since before Xmas, I believe. The period from Xmas Day to Jan. 7 is second coldest in MKE history, with an average daily temp of 5.9 degrees. |

For about two hours late yesterday morning, a small isolated pocket of snow hit this area. At times, large flakes fell almost horizontally. Most of the snow melted on contact with roads, driveways and sidewalks, but created a dusting on grass and roofs. By early p.m., the sun returned and melted this latest whitestuff away. |

Despite forecast, temp. only reached 59 here yesterday and remained overcast throughout the day. By late p.m., temps dropped as rain-front approached, although heavier precip. remained well north of here.

Today's weather word is "NASTY." Yesterday proved gray, chill, rainy and windy... and by tomorrow morning, that will probably seem preferable to what's in store. At obs. time, we're under a Wind Advisory (gusts possible up to 50 mph); and a Winter Weather Advisory (rain, sleet, freezing rain and 1-3" of snow) in effect until midnight on Sunday. Again, NASTY. |

We've seen every type of precip. except hail in past 24 hours as winter reasserts its hold this weekend. Still under Winter Weather Advisory until midnight tonight. Yesterday, strong easterly winds throughout the day knocked down small branches from neighboring maples. All day and night, precip. shifted from icy rain to sleet to snow and back again. Winds finally subsided a bit around 10 p.m. Swapped out 4-inch gauge at 7:00 this morning (as icy sleet hit my face from the east), but needed time to melt catch. New Snow total is average of numerous measurements, but winds made depth very difficult to measure properly. |

At obs. time, pesky snow still falling, the unwelcome remnant of the nasty 3-day storm. Yesterday morning, sleet transitioned back to snow in the morning and fell quite heavily until ~12:30 p.m. By ~2:00, the snow ended here and the temp reached 34 degrees for a while. Snow returned early this morning, however, resulting in another Winter Weather Advisory until 8:00 a.m. |

First snow "pellets" started hitting windows yesterday at 1:00 p.m., when the temp was 34°; by 1:30, light flurries started. At 2:05, the temp was 33° with more sleet-pellets, but by 2:20, it transitioned to light snow that melted on sidewalks and driveways. At 2:28, the temp dropped to 32° and within 10 minutes, a light dusting covered sidewalks and driveways, although only light snow fell. At 3:00 p.m., however, heavy, wet flakes started falling steadily, and did so until 7:00 p.m., the inches quickly piling up. At this point, both the size and frequency of the flakes declined, and radar indicated a welcome break in the storm over this area. Around 9:00 p.m., another small hit of flurries occurred but the storm had essentially ended by then. |
