Greetings and welcome!
The snow yesterday morning came on strong. I would guess that there was 3-4 new inches by 7am. The final wave came later while I ws at work, but it was a strong one. Add a couple of more inches there. Even with the fast melting yesterday afternoon I was still walking in at least 4-5″ of snow at sunset.
The news said that Goodman closed schools. Other snow totals included 11″ at Rhinelander, 14-16″ in Vilas Co, and the big winner was Lac du Flambeau with 19″. As I went east the snow totals dropped a little.
Wausaukee had a few less inches than we did here in Silver Cliff. It was hard to quantify here not being here and with the melting and multiple waves of snow, but I’d guess it at about 8″ here. Crivitz had a lot less, maybe 2-3 slushy inches.
The cold week slowed and almost stopped the melting, so the Peshtigo River is running a little lower than it was early week. It is at about +12 now, and will be on the rise for the weekend. It should be a fun river this weekend and for the next couple. We should see 50 Saturday and 60 Sunday, so it won’t even be that cold. Get it while you can.
Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!

Do you think ice will be out on the townsend flowage by first weekend in May?
It will be close. We had 30+ inches of ice this winter and a cold spring. None of the lakes that I drove by today, including Townsend Flowage, had any open water.
