Friday 11-3-17

Greetings and welcome!

It has been a busy week so I don’t know as much as I’d like to today.

We had snow Wednesday night that probably made the 2″ mark before the rain came and pounded it down. There was probably a slushy half inch left at sunrise. By late afternoon Thursday the only snow on the ground was the piles that slid off of the car hoods and a few patchy shaded spots.

A friendly truck driver at the gas station said that heading toward Wabeno that the ground still held snow. It wouldn’t surprise me. We were right on the rain/snow line here in Silver Cliff. They would have gotten more snow and less rain to pound it down. I will get a look later today when I head that way.

We have more snow coming for tonight into Saturday. One forecast says 3″ another says 2-4″. Once Saturday warms up the snow is expected to turn to rain. Sunday also hold a chance of rain, but could get close to 50.

Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!

Wednesday 11-1-17 10:15pm Update

As of 10:15pm I measured about 1.5″ of snow down, and it continues to snow at a medium pace.

 

Greetings and welcome!

We are on snow watch this afternoon. The NWS forecasts, depending on which one that you look at, has us forĀ  either 3″ or 2-4″. The snow is only a couple of counties away on radar so at least some snow is likely.

We have had some cold mornings recently. Sunday morning brought the coldest morning so far this fall with 18 degrees. Yesterday we got down to 27, and today’s low was 24 in Wabeno. High temps have been about ten degrees below normal, struggling to break 40 degrees.

I stopped at Landing 11 Monday night to check for ice in the bay but there was none. I’d bet that there was some Sunday morning.

I have a dozen things to cover and get ready outside if we are getting snow tonight so I am off to do chores. Have a good week and thank you for visiting!
