Inauguration of Bloggin'

This will be the new home of Helicity and Convergence to spew their ideas, thoughts and mad knowledge on any and all things. It will be random in nature; our only promise is it will not contain any political angles or opinions(And for the most part G-Rated). It will strictly be about the adventures of Helicity and Convergence.

First up is the next month’s forecast, with attention to the Midwest. A post about Colorado’s weather over the next 10+ days will be posted later. March should close with two storms to keep an eye on. The first is set to bring heavy snow to portions of Nebraska, Iowa, MN, WI and UP of Michigan. Here in Madison the event should be a mixed bag of precip, with everything from sleet, freezing rain, rain and snow. Only minor snow accumulation, if any is in store for Madison. This will likely occur on the back side of the storm as it pulls out of the region.

A few minor disturbances will affect the region between the end of this week and the 4^th week of March. Then we turn our heads to what should be another major storm that will bring heavy snow, possibly late season blizzard and severe weather for the Rockies, Plains and Great Lakes. If the track of this is a northerly, then there might be chas’able severe weather in Illinois! If it has a southerly track, well, then Madison might be under the gun for one final and major snow storm. Details on this as it unfolds. Perhaps this is the GFS showing the storm poised for the 4^th week of March? (see below). Nice looking trough (meaning low pressure system) over the western third of the US.

As most in the north central portions of the US are sick of winter, the first BIG warm up should occur in the second week of April with a legitimate shot at 70 degrees here in Madison. IF there is ample moisture ahead of the inevitable cold front, well, then, just maybe, we can do some chasing here in the Midwest. Updates as necessary.

Few notes: Expect an above average year for severe weather. February had, at last count, 40 Tornadoes, with March looking equally as active. This bodes well for baggin' a tornado!

Switching gears, Diebler was unconscious today versus our beloved badgers, making for a blowout. This does however turn the clock to the most wonderful time of the year, MARCH MADNESS and spring break! Once again the journey west to the Mountains is happening for SB, hoping the snow cooperates and provides plentiful powder! The trip will be shot POV style as the GoPro is poised for its first true test.
