Ugh. This is ridiculous. Every weather report should just say this is what it could be, but it will all fizzle out by the time it gets to the mke area.

40's again next week guys.

This is the last winter I make business financial decisions based on my predictions of winter season revenue.

Good God...

All rain no snow....trying reverse psychology, you watch we'll probably get thunderstorms and a tornado!

We got our salt run in this morning. Looks like we may have a repeat on Thursday morning?
Then who knows for Sunday and Monday's storm, sounds like it could go either way but looks like the heavier snow is staying north of the area.
WISN is saying as of right now could be a warm day Sunday and early Monday, then colder.

Classic track for heavy snow over southern wisconsin, could be looking at 6''+.....1.0 would be enough for me.

Any of you guys find yourself in a jam with this storm and need a hand, let me know I can get a couple of trucks up there. Prefering to stay south of Milwaukee area. I am out of Buffalo Grove, ILL but also have equipment right in Antioch that can be sent over the border there. Let me know if you need a hand, by a pm or my number is below my name on here.

WiSN calling for some snow tonight and tomorrow/Sunday. Was this the classic case of early models had snow midrange took it out and short term brings it.back? Noaa doesn't seem as confident.

WTMJ has essentially

nothingin theirs as well, and your right NOAA has little faith. I am thinking a salt run at best....

I wouldn't complain about a salting run to start off. See who all gets lost and where the weak links are.

Ill agree, NOAA, Fox6 and WTMJ arent saying much for tonight and mostly rain/snow event sunday, but Im hoping for alittle Sunday night for a salt run. Temps are the big issue it sounds like and ground temps are up yet.

My guess would be a handheld temp guage that people use in the automovtive industry. I've used one on race cars to check tire temps or brakes.

Have a buddy that works at a local municipality and they have a temperature reader mounted on the driver mirror pointing down that has a display mounted inside the cab. Pretty slick but probably cheaper with the point / shoot infrared thermometer.
