Greetings and welcome!
The winter weather is bitterly hanging on, but loosing ground daily.
Friday we had a lot of wind and some snow. The snow drifted over east/west roads and made slippery spots. I didn’t think that we had very much until I got home and found 3+ inches of fresh snow.
The sun quickly ate it on roads and sunny spots. When I went to Antigo Saturday morning there were only maybe 10 miles of slippery road right near Antigo where they got a little more snow. The rest was mostly dry. By 11am the bad spots were mostly wet or gone.
Saturday and Sunday stayed in the 30s, and today was cold and windy again. The normal high temperature is around 50, we have been around -10 on that.
Right now there is probably 2″ of crusty snow in the yard and plenty of bare sunny spots.
When I went to Antigo Saturday Waubee Lake was wide open. Townsend Flowage was open in some areas and iced over in others. The lake about 10 miles east of Antigo was still frozen where the sun couldn’t hit it and open where it could.
As of about Thursday we are going to transition to much warmer weather. High temperatures in the 60s looks pretty likely and the TV says maybe 70 Sunday. The melting snow and frost in the ground might make the ground a little soft and soggy this weekend.
From what I can see we are not expecting any more snow and cold after Wednesday, at least for a couple of weeks. I am finally comfortable unplugging the heater in the well house and unplugging the heat tape on plumbing. That will probably happen Saturday.
That is news for today. Have a good week and thank you for visiting!
