NOT GOING TO BE TOO WORRIED. SO IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT ANY ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL, YES, WE HAVE SOME TOMORROW AND WE HAVE SOME INTO THE EXTENDED FORECAST. HERE ARE WHERE OUR NUMBERS SIT RIGHT NOW. WE’RE ACTUALLY ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS SEASON, ABOUT 4.8 INCHES ABOVE AVERAGE, TOTALING TO 50.7 INCHES FOR THE WINTER SEASON. SO FAR. LAST YEAR, WE WERE BEGGING FOR THIS SNOW AND THIS YEAR WE ARE WISHING IT WOULD STOP. I KNOW I AM. AND IN KENOSHA MANY OF YOU ASKING WHERE WHERE IS THIS SNOW? WHERE DID IT GO? WE DIDN’T SEE AS MUCH AS SOME OF THE OTHER COUNTIES. HERE IS A LOOK AT KENOSHA SENT IN BY DAVE. AFTER THE STORM, WE GOT THE SUN. WHATEVER WAS LEFT ON THE GRASS MELTED PRETTY QUICKLY AND THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE AREAS THAT DID NOT GET LEFT UNDER A HEAVY BED. BUT WHERE WE HAVE THESE PINKS IN DARKER SHADES OF BLUE IN PLACES LIKE FOND DU LAC BEAVER DAM, WATERTOWN, JOHNSON CREEK, EVEN BACK THROUGH MADISON, WHERE WE HAD SOME VERY HIGH TOTALS COMING IN. AND THEN ANOTHER ZONE HERE ACROSS PORTIONS OF MILWAUKEE AND INTO WAUKESHA COUNTY AS WELL AS INTO PORTIONS OF RACINE COUNTY. AS YOU HEADED AWAY FROM THE LAKE. WE HAD SOME NICE TOTALS. IF YOU DO LIKE SNOW. SO THIS WAS HEAVY, WET SNOW. IT DID MELT PRETTY QUICKLY. BUT ONCE WE GOT THOSE TOTALS IN A LITTLE EARLIER TODAY, WE CAME AROUND 12 AND A HALF INCHES OUT TO PORTIONS OF JOHNSON CREEK, FOND DU LAC, AROUND 12 INCHES BEAVER DAM, TEN AND A HALF INCHES WATERTOWN, CLOSE TO TEN INCHES. LET ME STEP OFF THE SCREEN SO I CAN SEE THOSE OTHER NUMBERS, NINE INCHES AN EAGLE, ALMOST NINE INCHES OUT TO OUR MILWAUKEE AIRPORT. AND IF YOU’RE AN ELM GROVE, 7.5 INCHES, 6.5 INTO RACINE KENOSHA, WE WERE ON THE SHORT END OF THAT STICK. NOW, AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT, WE REMAIN ON THE CLEAR SIDE. DO WANT TO WARN YOU, IF YOU PLAN TO GET UP EARLY AND YOU HAVE NOT TREATED, SAY, THE DRIVEWAY THAT YOU WANT TO DO SO BECAUSE WE COULD SEE SOME SLIPPERY SPOTS, WE ARE GOING TO NOTICE MORE MOISTURE COMING IN AS WE HEAD INTO OUR SUNDAY MORNING STARTING OFF AS SOME RAIN POTENTIALLY AND THEN TRANSIT SHINING OVER TO SOME SNOW. SO IT COULD BE A MIX THERE AS WE HEAD THROUGH YOUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF WALWORTH, WE’RE SEEING KENOSHA LEADING INTO MILWAUKEE COUNTY. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS OUT TO THE NORTH AND EAST. IT WILL BE ON AND OFF AT TIMES BY 7 P.M. WE SHOULD START TO SEE MUCH OF THIS MARCHING OUT OF OUR AREA AND BY 9 P.M. LOOKING AT DRY CONDITIONS NOW AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW WILL BE TOPPING OFF AT 42 DEGREES, 39. AN WAUKESHA LOW FORTIES IN A WEST SPIN OCONOMOWOC AND WATERTOWN. SO NOT BAD, BUT BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE NEAR AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AS WE HEAD INTO THE LATE WEEK, MID AND LATE WEEKEND. WE’LL ALSO NOTICE SOME MORE WET WEATHER COMING OUR WAY. SO ENJOY THE LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE YOU HAVE ON YOUR SUNDAY MORNING. THEN AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS, MAYBE SOME RAIN SHOWERS MIXING IN MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR OUR MONDAY PEEKS OF SUNSHINE FOR TUESDAY AND THEN WEDNESDAY INTO THE LATE WEEK, WE’LL BE WATCHING A STORM SYSTEM THAT COULD BRING RAIN AND SNOW.
