Snowshoe

Love the 1.9 in central Wisco but would be surprised to see it. Just enough to cover the grass is all i ask for. Happy for all the forum peeps down south that will cash in! Post pics to remind me what snow looks like.

Got excited when my phone buzzed me displaying a winter weather advisory. Then I quickly remembered it wasn't going to snow. Yeah more frz drz.

Looks like i'm sitting this storm out yet again. Winter better not show up in April like it did last year!

I'm a little concerned the northern 2/3s of Wisco will be some of the upset ones.

To give you an idea how unusual this winter is. The town of Minocqua in northern Wisconsin is warning people of unsafe ice. The unsafe lake mentioned is extremely popular for snowmobilers and normally freezes solid for vehicle travel by Christmas. Very unusual to have this problem at all much less into January. https://www.townofminocqua.org/lake-minocqua-remains-unsafe-and-unmarked/

What a mess this morning. There's about an inch of semisolid liquid on the driveway. Currently pouring rain and mid 30s. Absolute worst weather imaginable.

Riding the northern edge. Not sure what to expect. Could see flurries on up to 4".

Talk about having to thread the needle. Pretty small bullseye over Green Bay.

December is going to end up being about 5° warmer than avg. and roughly normal (.91") liquid equiv. precip. What will be memorable to me is the really long dry spell from 12/3 to 12/25. I would usually associate dry spells with cold canadian air but not this year. Hopeful for a better January.

Does pull down a massive high pressure

A healthy below normal bullseye around Lake Superior is interesting to me. Maybe the model doesn't consider lake effect snow? Or maybe the model doesn't see much in the way of N-NW winds?

Something tells me by next Tuesday i'll be rooting for the NW trend again after days of moving SE

Boy you ain't kidding! There's not even enough snow in the lake effect belts of northern Wisconsin to get the snowmobile trails open. Losing out on Christmas and potentially New Year's business would be a severe blow to many places up there. Snow should be much closer to the 24 by this time of year. http://www.snowsnakes.net/camera/videoold.jpg

Was a decent start to winter. Not looking forward to the warm temps but a little sun will be nice. These foggy mornings are really starting to wear me down!

Sad that i feel the need to report such meager snowfall but.... well here we are.

WWA issued for up to an inch of snow and

Truly don't know what to think. My gut says warm air wins on Saturday and I end up with maybe 2" of slush by late Sunday.

My drive home from Milwaukee Sunday will be fun. Better make sure i've got plenty of podcasts loaded up! I'm sure traffic will be awesome.

PERFECT sleeping weather last night! NIce steady rain all night long. Radar estimates around 2" last night and 3-4" over the last 7 days.

Used to live in Kenosha and there was nothing worse than an east wind off the lake. I miss the big lake but glad I moved inland.

Tried to leave mine off overnight and woke up to a cold house and an even colder wife!

Funny how quickly the low 50's seem cold! It is 10o below average but compared to 30's it should feel warm.

All this talk about planting season and green grass has me a little jealous. Lakes in C. Wis are still iced over and reports of 24-30" of ice on lakes up north is common. The strong sun and hopefully a warm t-storm along the way gives me hope for open water for the fishing opener May 5th. Parts of NE Wis could see a bit of light snow Friday morning but otherwise it looks like an end (FINALLY!!!) to winter! April was historic for sure. Magnified in my mind due to a lackluster snow season IMBY. More snow in April than DJFM combined. Crazy. https://www.weather.gov/grb/RecordAprilSnowfallForMost Here is a list of the monthly snowfall totals through April 22nd andhow it ranks as the snowiest April on record. Most locations acrossnorth-central and northeast Wisconsin have smashed the previoussnowiest April on record. An amazing 45.3 inches of snow has fallenat Tigerton in Shawano County while 44.0 inches has fallen atSturgeon Bay. These totals are not a state record for the month ofApril. In 2013, an observer near Bayfield recorded 47.4 inches ofsnow for the month while 47.0 inches was recorded at the Brule RangerStation.Some locations on this list do not have a historical record or have avery short period of record. For these sites, NA was used for the oldrecord. The snowfall amounts below are preliminary based on what hasbeen reported so far. The numbers may change as additional data becomesavailable.
