Green Bay Sounding: Stable, very cold conditions up to 650mb
 
Winds through all layers throughout flight from 280-345 (mostly from 280-300) at 9-18 (mostly 11-13) 
(units of hwspd unknown m/s or knots?)
Cloud free area larger than previous flights on 01/18, 01/19, and 01/22.
Ice extending off shore much farther than on 01/22. Lake surface smoother than 01/22.
Very little steam rising from lake surface throughout flight. Most prominent on west side of lake.
Cloud tops around 2800-3000ft from Racine to point B. Cloud tops increasing heights from South to North. 
Northern end of track A cloud tops around 3500-4000ft
RALT2 not working until well into flight
On western edge of clouds very few breaks visible. Along tracks A and B breaks become more regular.
Deck of altostratus above. Dissipating to the north.
After 8th pass (5th pass on track A, A to A1) no roll organization visible in radar data. Decided to do one 
more in cloud pass to focus on structure. When no roll structure was visible decided to head back 
to Racine.
Radar crash ~15:27 Restart computer component
