Winter finally happened Sunday. Over a foot of lake effect snow by my place next to the Lake. A good bit a county inland, as well, but not much once you get over towards Madison. Chicago really got nailed - foot and a half?

You guys get Lake Effect? But prevailing winds go East-West, wouldn't that end up blowing the lake-effect (assuming it's from Lake Michigan) away from you?

Yes, we get lake effect. I know it's for some bizarre reason a surprise for everyone, but I get lake effect snow (and lake effect on temperature extremes) quite often living blocks from the Lake, not to mention growing up north in the state along Lake Michigan, where we'd be the only place in the country with snow and it would be a foot or two.
Milwaukee on Sunday set a snow record for Feb. 1. With a reported 10.4 inches in just one day, the new snow total easily beat the previous record of 9 inches even, set in 1915.
The official snow total for this weekend's snowstorm, which started about 9 p.m. Saturday and ended early Monday morning, was exactly 12 inches in Milwaukee.

Driest January on record ever in SF. Not a single drop off rain in what is typically the second wettest month of the year. It's been in the upper 60's and low to mid 70's lately too. Saturday was 75 where I live which is very abnormal for this time of year.
That's nothing, since 1900, Cleveland's had 11 days with 10" of snow or more. The largest single day snow was 13.6" on 2/2/93 .
Not bragging, who would brag about a ton of snow? Just showing you details on this weekend's storm so you know the amounts were due to lake effect snow.
I grew up in northern Door County, basically an island out in Lake Michigan, and spent a lot of time on another peninsula (Houghton) growing up. If you want to compare, I'm game!

I know you need the rain, but actually sounds like a great time to have visited SF.
