Greetings and welcome!
We had a cold week this week. We got as low as the low 20s a couple of nights and some high temperatures were in the low 40s. There was also a howling wind most of the time, making those cold days feel even colder.
Those cold howling winds out of the northwest caused some lake effect snow, and an area northwest of Land O Lakes saw as much as 6″ collect on the ground. Some of that lake effect snow make it all of the way here, and several times we ended up with a dusting. Earlier in the week there was a pretty good flurry that made it seem like we were going to see some real snow. It never did add up to much.
I did see on my Facebook memories that we had snow yesterday in several years in the recent past that did add up to real snow. So far this year it has not accumulated beyond a dusting.
We are going to get a break from the cold this weekend as temperatures get up into the mid and upper 50s. It looks like we have until about Wednesday before the bottom drops out. The forecast model that I am looking at shows rain changing to snow and then a lot more cold and possibly snowy weather.
Last Friday night we had a pretty remarkable sunset. A lot of people stopped and took notice. Here is one snap that I took with my phone down by the Crivitz airport. If you zoom in to the lower part there is a lot of texture there too.
We have an event for this weekend..
Here are some more upcoming events..
That is about it for me. I have a long list of things to do before winter weather comes along next week. I am off to get started on the list. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
