It’s about to be a “windows down while singing @taylorswift13’s 10 minute version of All Too Well at the top of my lungs on the Marquette Interchange” kind of commute home today.

One of my kids tested positive for flu A today. The other tested positive flu B. Just in case anyone is wondering how cold & flu season is going in our house 🙃

We've already shattered our record high of 56° (1921) in Milwaukee & 57° (1981) in Madison today and there's still a chance we could get a degree or two warmer still this afternoon. #wiwx @SpectrumNews1WI

There's a spot in the hallway outside the weather center where the sun comes through the glass door perfectly & I just stood there like a cat in a sunbeam with my eyes closed soaking in the warmth. Enjoy it now. 30s return by the middle/end of next week.

A large plume of moisture arrives in the western US, bringing much-needed rain and snow to regions that have lacked one or both this winter.

This is so cool. Massive crack in the ice on Lake Erie yesterday captured by satellite.
Watch as a massive crack forms in the ice on Lake Erie. An impressive view captured by GOES-19 earlier on Sunday.

30 years ago today, the coldest temperature in Wisconsin was reached...for the second time! 👀 The village of Couderay reached an all-time low of -55°F on February 2 and again on February 4. This surpassed the previous state record of -54°F from Danbury in 1922. #wiwx

ON THIS DATE IN 1959: At 12:55a CT, a plane took off from runway 17 at the Mason City, Iowa airport, carrying the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. At the time of departure, the weather was reported as light snow, a ceiling of 3,000

Groundhog Day HAS ARRIVED and #PunxsutawneyPhil stepped into the frigid morning air and saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter. Check out his past predictions—will he be right this year or can you put your pesky winter gear away? https://t.co/YXqnCWiqBz

In Houston, TX for the next few days for @ametsoc’s Annual Meeting which includes the 53rd Conference on Broadcast & Digital Meteorology. It was wild getting here. I had to fly MKE -> PHX -> HOU to avoid the winter storm. Excited for the start of the conference tomorrow!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but meteorology is an imperfect science.

It’s THIS cold in Wisconsin today. This is how I had to dress to get into work this morning. And guess what? The snot in my nose still froze! I’m still drinking iced coffee though 😂 Stay safe, everyone! #wiwx @SpectrumNews1WI
