Greetings and welcome!
We have a little light snow falling this morning, and so far it has made it up to 27 degrees.
The snow that came Tuesday and Wednesday has stayed in place for the most part. It was very close to freezing when it fell so a lot of it stuck to the trees. It is a pretty winter scene anywhere you look.
The snow melted off of most roads and paved driveways. The exception is the gravel roads & driveways. Those still hold snow. The other place that the snow stuck around is shaded parts of the roads. Behind big pine stands or heavy woods the roads either are icy or snow covered. When it happens in corners on side roads it can bring some big eyes as you drift through the corner without turning. Stay alert for icy side roads.
The snow on the ground is not as deep as it is on cold spots like the deck railing, but there is still 2-3″, and more in some places. There will be snow on the ground for this weekend.
Here are some snow totals from TV channel 5 out of Green Bay. I would call our total here 4″.
There is a cold front coming through Friday and Friday night that will bring very cold temperatures for the weekend. Not only are we looking at single digit overnight temperatures and highs in the low 20s, there will be some wind. Be ready for the coldest opening weekend in probably 10 years or more.

I have another Thanksgiving event..
I’m not sure who is sponsoring it but I like the price.
I read yesterday that some lakes are starting to skin over with ice. That will progress a lot this weekend, but I wouldn’t bring the ice fishing shanty just yet.
If you haven’t winterized yet this weekend is when it goes critical. With high temps in the low 20s and single digit low temps coming stuff will freeze.
That’s it for now. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
