The highest snow totals I could find from the recent winter storm were in Southeast Wisconsin, where enhancement from Lake Michigan helped produce 6-10 inches of snow. The cold northeasterly flow behind the low-pressure system resulted in lake enhanced snows much of yesterday afternoon and evening downwind of Lake Michigan in eastern WI, with the dominant band setting up from Milwaukee into northern Illinois. Here are pictures from Tyler Schiller of Waukesha, WI, where 7 inches was on the ground this morning. There was likely much more snowfall, but the warm lower atmosphere and ground temperatures resulted in some melting. If anyone else has pictures of the snow it would be great if we could post them to the blog!
